Eight hundred and nineteen, the old man is Weng Da
The door of this mansion opened, and two young men dressed as small servants opened the heavy solid wood portal on the left and right.
Then I saw two young women dressed as maids, each carrying a lantern in their hands, also standing on either side of the door, and illuminating the door with a light for the master's house behind her.
Behind the lanterns carried by the two maids, an elderly couple who looked to be in their fifties stood, dressed like the owners of a rich family.
In the life of this elderly couple, there seem to be more than a dozen Zhuang Ding standing with sticks, but they are all standing in the dark where the lamp and candle can't shine, and they can't see their figures clearly for a while.
"Dare to ask, this scholar went to the Gray Fox Valley at night, but what is the reason?"
The old man of the elderly couple stepped forward, saluted Zhu Linglu, and asked.
"I'm sorry to disturb your house! I was also lost in this mountain, and when I saw the light of the lights and candles in your house from afar, I wanted to come over and bother one or two, in order to find a way out of the mountain? In addition, I don't know where this place is, and how your mansion will live in this barren mountain! ”
Zhu Linglu pretended to read the ancient words, and the words spoken by this old man were a bit like northern Mandarin, so Zhu Linglu could understand them completely.
In this way, Zhu Linglu was a little more relieved, otherwise it would be troublesome to talk about a chicken and a duck.
While Zhu Linglu was speaking, he also swept towards the small guy who opened the door with his spiritual power, wondering whether the people here were people or demons.
To be honest, just based on the magnetic field fluctuations on the surface of these people, Zhu Linglu really didn't feel any demonic energy, almost the same as a normal human.
But Zhu Linglu also knew that the monsters in the Liaozhai world, especially the fox demons, were very capable of restraining their demonic energy and pretending to be humans, if they didn't use special means, they were afraid that even the Taoist priests who caught the demons might not be able to see through their essence.
And if these people are really fox demons, then the old man and the old lady should naturally be the highest type of cultivation among them.
Therefore, Zhu Linglu was worried that he would use his spiritual power to probe them. They will be aware of Zhu Linglu's spiritual power exploration, so they deliberately chose the little guy who opened the door on the side to explore its essence.
According to the general rule, this kind of fox demon pretending to be a little monster should belong to the kind of little monster who doesn't have many skills, and he may not be able to detect Zhu Linglu's detection of it.
As the spiritual power penetrated into the body of this little man, Zhu Linglu really felt that there were abnormal energy fluctuations in this little guy's body, but this energy did not have the demonic feeling of the mandrill before, but it was very pure, and it might be regarded as spiritual power.
At the same time, Zhu Linglu did find that this little guy's body was different from normal humans, and the skeletal muscles of the whole body in his body obviously had a taste of being stretched.
The fluctuating anomalous energy in his body. The more concentrated these stretched skeletal muscles become, the more they seem to be deliberately maintaining these strange parts of the body.
Perhaps this is the essence of the fox demon form.
In addition, there is a fluffy tail hidden in his buttocks, which is more than a normal human tail, and it is obviously impossible to eliminate it with a spell.
In this way, this person is really a fox demon.
So this family, I'm afraid it's all changed by the fox demon.
The scholar laughed! Your Excellency is by no means an ordinary scholar, walking alone in this barren mountain, but without a trace of embarrassment, how can you say that you are lost! Nor do they hide from scholars. We are not a human race, but a group of gray-eared spirit foxes who have achieved great cultivation! Scholar, what do you mean by coming to Gray Fox Valley? If it is an enemy. I waited for the natural acceptance, if it is a guest, I am also welcome! ”
This old man is also smart, and he can see that Zhu Linglu is by no means an ordinary scholar. actually took the initiative to reveal his identity as a fox demon.
Oh, it can't be said that it is a fox demon, at least he claims to be a spirit fox.
"Grey-eared spirit fox? Weng Mansion? ”
Zhu Linglu didn't expect this old man to tell his identity so honestly. However, looking at his dress, Zhu Linglu also laughed.
Indeed, if he is really a scholar who is lost in the mountains, even if he knows martial arts, he is afraid that he will not be as spotless as Zhu Linglu is now.
Naturally, the clothes made of liquid nano metal will not be scratched and soiled by the thorns in the mountains.
Just listening to this old man calling himself a gray-eared spirit fox, and thinking of this mansion called Weng Mansion, Zhu Linglu couldn't help but think of a story called "Long Pavilion" in Liaozhai.
"Not bad! The old man is Weng Da! This is the old man's wife, Weng! I don't know what to call a scholar? ”
The old man who called himself Weng Da Linghu looked at Zhu Linglu, and he still couldn't figure out what Zhu Linglu meant, just looking at Zhu Linglu's posture, he could also feel that Zhu Linglu was not like a mortal, and if he could not be an enemy, it was best not to be an enemy.
"Under the surname Zhu, the name is Tiantang, this is polite! Weng Lao rest assured, he is really lost in the road this time, and he came to the valley just to ask for directions, and he has no other intention! I don't know ......, can Weng Lao entertain this uninvited guest! ”
Zhu Linglu was thinking about the story of "Changting" in Liaozhai, which was about a person named Shi Taipu, who was taught by Emperor Guan Chicheng of Biancheng Beicun and learned the art of exorcism and demon suppression.
And there is a fox family surnamed Weng, but they were attacked by ghosts and had to come to ask Shi Taipu for help.
As a result, Shi Taipu took a fancy to Weng Changting, the daughter of the Weng family, and took the opportunity to ask Weng Changting as his wife under the pretext of exorcism.
There seem to be many stories of people giving birth to children and ghosts giving birth to children in Liaozhai, even Nie Xiaoqian in the Chinese Ghost Story followed Ning Caichen home in the story of Liaozhai, and then gave birth to a child with Ning Caichen in the ghost body.
Of course, now Zhu Linglu can't be sure whether this gray-eared spirit fox Weng clan is the Weng clan in the story of Liaozhai "Changting".
In the story of "Changting" in Liaozhai, Weng Changting's fox father once regretted not wanting to marry his daughter, and seemed to be a repeated fox who didn't talk much.
But Shi Taipu in this story doesn't seem to be a good person, he originally went to exorcise ghosts, but he joined forces with the ghosts who invaded the Weng clan fox clan, and took the opportunity to blackmail and propose, so it's no wonder that the old fox Weng Chau repented of his marriage.
Anyway, now Zhu Linglu doesn't care who the gray-eared spirit fox clan with the surname Weng is, as long as he can ask some information that he wants to know, it's fine.
"Oh, I see, very good, very good! Then please come into the house and sit down! Madam, you go and arrange a banquet, Gongzi is by no means an ordinary person, we have the honor to entertain, it is a chance, we must not slack off! ”
The old man who called himself Weng Da Linghu was very happy when he heard Zhu Linglu's words, and seemed to believe that Zhu Linglu really had no hostility, so he hurriedly turned around and ordered the old lady beside him.
This old lady of the spirit fox known as the Weng clan was just secretly looking at Zhu Linglu from the side, it seemed that she was the real person in charge of the Weng clan's fox clan, and she could really command the other gray-eared spirit fox clansmen who were hiding around.
However, she also seemed to feel that Zhu Linglu didn't seem to be a deliberate enemy, so she was also on the side, smiling and nodding at Zhu Linglu with a seemingly kind face...... (To be continued.) )
