In the morning of New Year's Eve, Shen Qingxuan finished taking care of the things at hand, let the servant push him, and went to the kitchen to see how the dinner was prepared. The Shen family is too big, and the kitchen is also triple-layered. The outermost is piled up with hills of fruits and vegetables. The processed chicken, duck, and fish are all picked up and placed in a basin. They are marinated with salt to taste, and they can be put into the pot directly at night. In the big room in the second gate, dozens of small stoves were set up, lit and simmered with various kinds of soup. The innermost room is where the real cooking takes place. When the curtains are opened, the first is a mountain-like steamer, which is piled up to the roof. There is a wooden ladder next to the cage, which is convenient to climb up and check at any time. The iron pans are big and small, the stoves are of different shapes, stewed, boiled, fried, and hot. The cooks are wearing short skirts, and their hands are flying around the table, slicing willows, kneading the dough and adjusting the stuffing. His face was glowing red from the fire.

Someone sneaked up and looked up and saw Shen Qingxuan at the door. He quickly exclaimed, stopped and ran over, shouting, "Why did you come here, young master? Go back quickly, there is a lot of oil smoke, so be careful."

Shen Qingxuan smiled slightly, with a festive look on his face, waved his hand, and said, "I'll see how you guys have prepared."

"Don't worry, young master, the cooks are all experienced and can't make mistakes."

Shen Qingxuan nodded and looked at it for a while before he said, "Make some good dishes first and put them in the food box. They will be delivered to me later."

The man was puzzled and asked suspiciously, "Who is this sending to, young master?"

Shen Qingxuan nodded, but did not explain, just let him do as instructed, and then left.

It didn't take a while for the full food box to be delivered to Shen Qingxuan's hand. Shen Qingxuan opened it, looked at it, closed it again, and asked the maid to bring a red bag that had been prepared earlier and sent it to the door. Hou Zai's servant at the gate of the courtyard greeted him, picked up the things and put them in the carriage, and then said "don't worry, young master, the little one will be delivered" and drove the horse away.

The carriage galloped all the way, rushed to the ferry, and turned to the boat. Before noon, the servant sent those things to Xiao Tao's other courtyard, and quickly returned to life in a hurry. Naturally, he was rewarded by Shen Qingxuan.

In the afternoon, Xu Mingshi also came back in the wind and the snow, with an anxious look on his face, he rushed into the courtyard, and after looking around, he realized that Shen Qingxuan was greeting guests in the main courtyard. Seeing that he was in a hurry, the girl didn't dare to delay, she let him wait, and wrapped her cloak to find her master.

When Shen Qingxuan learned that Xu Mingshi was looking for him, he left the table with a wink and asked him what was going on.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Mingshi untied his shirt and took out a black and furry thing from his arms.

"Huh? What is this? A puppy?" Shen Qingxuan was about to stretch out his hand, but was blocked by Xu Mingshi, Xu Mingshi put the thing in his arms again, and said to Shen Qingxuan with a bitter face: "I don't know either. How can I tell you."

Shen Qingxuan looked at him strangely with a bitter expression on his face. He understood that the matter was not trivial, and asked him to enter the room to explain it in detail.

It turned out to be something Xu Mingshi did on a whim. That dark and furry thing was a little wolf cub just over a month old. The wolf cub's mother also had some background. After 300 years of cultivation, she became an elite and obtained a human form. After that, she couldn't bear the loneliness, and no longer concentrated on cultivation, and went to play in the world. Then there are some familiar plots, the wolf spirit fell in love with the mortal, one person and one spirit fell in love with each other, and spent a year together. As a result, the man became seriously ill a year later, and the she-langjing knew that it was her fault, so she searched for a solution everywhere, and happened to meet Xu Mingshi.

As soon as Xu Mingshi saw the look of defeat and death on the man's face, he thought it was a goblin who deliberately killed people, regardless of whether it was green or red or white, so he went up to fight the she-wolf.

As a result, the wolf was concerned about his husband, and he just gave birth and his body was not healed, so he died in his hands.

As soon as the female wolf died, the human-shaped wolf cubs had no demonic power to guard them, so they naturally showed their original shape. When the man on the couch saw Xu Mingshi ramming his wife, he thought he was talking nonsense, but he had no energy or energy to stop him. A black wolf, and the crying baby boy in his arms also turned into a screaming wolf cub in an instant. He was just an ordinary mortal, seriously ill, and suffered from this terrifying scene, and he actually died.

In the face of two lives, Xu Mingshi knew that he had made a mistake again, but he didn't know how to end it, so he had to hug the wolf cub and hurried back to find Shen Qingxuan. He was in a foreign land and had no other acquaintances, so Shen Qingxuan was the first thing that came to his mind when something happened.

After Shen Qingxuan listened, he didn't say a word. He only raised his face, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and he looked at him sternly. Those eyes were extremely cold, extremely cold, like a blade carved by thousands of years of ice, inserted into his heart.

Xu Mingshi's expression changed.

There was enough time for a stick of incense, Xu Mingshi stood there, like a child who had done something wrong, with his head lowered in despair, and he murmured not knowing who he was asking, "How can this be good?"

Shen Qingxuan snorted coldly, and was about to speak, when he heard a soft whimper from Xu Mingshi's arms. With a thin voice, he does not know that the world around him is impermanent, and the world to take care of it has changed suddenly. He was just hungry, so he cried out, arching his little head, looking for his mother.

Shen Qingxuan's eyes changed, but he didn't say anything. He rang the bell to call the girl, and asked her to find the old housekeeper, no matter what method, find a bowl of milk and saliva.

When the order was issued, the girl felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, so she hurriedly responded, exited immediately, and closed the door.

The little wolf was still barking softly, making a whimper-like sound, arching back and forth in Xu Mingshi's arms.

Shen Qingxuan stretched out his hand and said coldly, "Give it to me."

Xu Mingshi hesitated for a moment, and Shen Qingxuan said indifferently: "You are its annihilation enemy." As soon as the words fell, Xu Mingshi's body trembled obviously, and his face showed a sad expression, which was very pitiful. No matter how pitiful it was, it couldn't impress Shen Qingxuan's hard heart. The outstretched hand was unmoving.

Xu Mingshi handed over the wolf cub, Shen Qingxuan took it in his arms, wrapped it in the front of his clothes, and while comforting him, he said to Xu Mingshi: "I said earlier, if you don't change your temper, you're going to cause trouble. No. To harm yourself is to harm others, if you still refuse to accept it, now you will deal with it."

Xu Mingshi said nothing, just lowered his head and looked at his toes.

"Things have come to this point. I won't say anything more. You go to the cashier to get some silver taels, and go and bury the couple."

Hearing this, Xu Mingshi raised his head and said in amazement, "Buried? How to be buried?"

"Nonsense, naturally buried in one place."

"Yes, but she's a monster."

"That man married her, as long as he doesn't divorce her, let alone a ghost, even an evil ghost, he will be buried in one place!" Shen Qingxuan increased his voice.

Xu Mingshi was stunned.

"You killed his wife and scared the patient to death. I should have sent you to see the official. But in the end, you and I are old friends, and there are still some friendships, so I will not do this." Shen Qingxuan said lightly: "It's just you. You have to write a document to me. In the future, if you want to hunt down monsters and hunt down monsters, you have to find out the reason. If this happens again, I will take you to see the official. Although you are a Taoist priest, you are also a human being, and you deserve the official government. Jurisdiction. At that time, life is for life, and I will never help."

Xu Mingshi was still stunned, but nodded.

The wolf cub in his arms moved violently, Shen Qingxuan hugged it tightly with one hand, pushed the wheelchair to the front of the bookshelf with one hand, took a wooden box from the bookcase, opened it, and found only a snow-white robe and a small copper cauldron inside.

Xu Mingshi saw those two things, but he didn't know what he wanted to do, so he just watched silently.

Shen Qingxuan took out the robe made of snake shed and put it aside, then covered the wooden box and put it back in its place, took the robe over, looked at him for a moment, and then said, "I don't know where that she-wolf came from, she wants to come to the wild beast in the mountains. She is not the only one who cultivates. The grievance of her death this time, most of you will have companions to seek revenge for you. You should have sacrificed your life for doing this. However, it is a pity to die at a young age. Lend it to you first, take your bodyguard, and take off all the wounding weapons on your body and hand them over to me. When the matter is over, I will pay you back."

Xu Mingshi remained silent, knowing that what he said was true, but he also knew that once he had no power to fight back, he would be waiting for unpredictable results. Can't escape the pain of flesh and blood. But Shen Qingxuan had already made it very clear, he just wanted him to make atonement like this. Even if he was beaten and maimed by the she-wolf spirit's companion, he deserved it.

To change or not to change, it is entirely up to him to decide at this moment.

Xu Mingshi set up a stick of incense sticks, and finally unpacked his clothes. He handed all the Dao Talisman cinnabar inside to Shen Qingxuan, and also unwrapped the sword on his waist and put it on the table. In the end, he picked up the snake sloughing clothes, looked down at it, his eyes suddenly flushed, and tears fell.

He said, "I'm sorry."

Shen Qingxuan was speechless, because he knew that this apology was not meant for himself.

The little wolf in his arms whimpered more and more pitifully. Just as the door was knocked at this moment, the old housekeeper's voice sounded: "Master, I found the ewe that was feeding, is it feasible?"

Shen Qingxuan said: "Squeeze a bowl of milk."

The old butler said, "This is it."

The goat milk that was still in Yu Wen was brought into the room, Shen Qingxuan tried it, took the wolf cub out of his arms, and fed it with a bowl. How could the little wolf be used to eating it, and the rim of the bowl was cold, and it leaked straight down. Can't drink at all. I couldn't help being angry and anxious, the screaming became more and more miserable, and the earning became more powerful. Shen Qingxuan put the bowl, and he didn't know whether it didn't eat it or was not used to it, so he dipped some of it with his fingers and handed it to its mouth. The little wolf was so hungry, and knowing that he was not a relative, he was instinctively vigilant. When he stretched out his fingers, he bit his mouth.

Xu Mingshi gave a frightened "Ow" because Shen Qingxuan's fingers immediately saw blood. However, Shen Qingxuan's expression remained unmoved, as if someone else was biting him, and he still put that finger into the wolf's mouth, the blood mixed with the fragrance of milk, the little wolf licked it, and when Shen Qingxuan brought his finger again, he would not bite.

Determined that it was just a feeding problem, Shen Qingxuan found a small spoon, a small one, and squeezed the wolf's mouth to feed it. One is a madly hungry little wolf, and the other is a man who never touches animals. A bowl of goat milk spilled three points, choked three points, and then vomited three points. Reluctantly, they could finally cooperate with each other better.

The second bowl was much smoother, and when it came to the third bowl, Shen Qingxuan was slow to feed, and the little wolf was also slow to eat.

Xu Mingshi was sweating while watching, while admiring Shen Qingxuan's patience, but at the same time pity the little wolf who lost his parents. If it weren't for it, why would this little thing waste so much energy just to get enough food?

When the little wolf's belly began to round, Shen Qingxuan was clearly tired, and he was tired enough. Shen Qingxuan, who was lying on his back, reluctantly shifted a position on his legs, changed to a dry and warm place, curled up and fell asleep.

Carrying the little wolf into the front of his clothes, Shen Qingxuan went to the brazier and lifted the hem of his robe to bake the clothes. It was only now that he was quiet for a while. Xu Mingshi also looked straight ahead, looking at Shen Qingxuan's profile, exuding a quiet and tired aura by the brazier.

Then he suddenly widened his eyes and said loudly, "Shen Qingxuan, you have a demonic energy in you!"

Shen Qingxuan was resting on the fire, when he shouted that, he jumped, opened his eyes and looked at him, and quickly returned to God: "I know."

"Have you encountered any monsters?" Xu Mingshi asked, looking around with an instinctive alert on his face.

Shen Qingxuan smiled: "No."

"Nonsense, you are so demonic, obviously you are with demons..." The words came to an abrupt end. Xu Mingshi suddenly understood, yes, this kind of demonic aura is not something that can only be acquired by getting along with demons. At this moment, the always confused mind suddenly became clear. Xu Mingshi remembered that he once saved the snake demon regardless of his life, that the thousand-year-old snake gave him the treasure snake slough, and that the man who was gradually losing weight in the mountains not long ago but was stubborn and seemed to be waiting for something... Xu Mingshi almost trembled. He asked, "Are you and the snake demon getting better?"

Shen Qingxuan just looked at him, neither admitting nor denying it. Just watching, the sarcasm in his eyes flashed away, as if he was laughing at the superfluousness of his question.

Xu Mingshi was stunned, the thoughts in his mind were disconnected under his gaze, and the chaos became a mess.

Shen Qingxuan always looked at his chaotic eyes calmly, as if everything had nothing to do with him. It was only at the end that he chuckled and said mockingly, "I've been with that snake demon for a year, do you want to get rid of it or me?" After a short pause, Shen Qingxuan gently, in a nasal voice Made a syllable and said, "Huh?" The ending rose, unscrupulous.

Xu Mingshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"You will die like this! With the demon, even if it is a demon who has cultivated for thousands of years, you will die!" Xu Mingshi shouted.

"I know." Shen Qingxuan responded very quickly, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said lightly, "He told me."

"He..." Xu Mingshi muttered.

"I'm not you, I know what I'm doing. You don't have to worry about me." Shen Qingxuan put down his shirt, looked at him and said, "You better go back first and bury the couple."

Xu Mingshi took two steps back, as if he had been hit deeply, and looked at him in disbelief. After a while, he stomped his feet and ran away.

After stroking the fur of the wolf cub in his arms, Shen Qingxuan also sat for a while before sighing, and murmured to the sweet wolf cub sleeping in his arms: "I don't bring the treasured clothes I gave him, this time, it's okay. I don't know if I can come back." Thinking again, this wolf cub looks tame at this time, and I don't know what will happen in the future, I'm afraid it will seek revenge for Xu Mingshi.

With such a thing in his arms, Shen Qingxuan really began to worry.

Then, just like Xu Mingshi naturally thought of him when he had something to do, the only thing he thought of at this moment was Yimo.

The snake's cold temper, handed the wolf to him, maybe he would also cultivate coldly and ignore the world. Even if he is not honest, Yimo will naturally have a way to control it. , that Xu Mingshi's bones were rotted into ashes.

Shen Qingxuan narrowed his eyes, with a fox-like sly expression on his face, very, very, very proud.

Yimo, who was in the hot spring, suddenly opened his eyes and sneezed.

In response to his sudden sneeze, Yimo exerted his wild beast-like intuition, and with a wave of his hand, his robe completely covered his body.

Leaving the forest and heading to the Shen residence in the city.

There are lanterns all over the house, laughter and laughter, and the ears are filled with beaming greetings.

Along the way, "Happy New Year's Eve" made Yimo slow down.

Shen Qingxuan was sitting in the room, just turned his head, with a smile on his face:

"You came."
