Chapter 437: Master (2)

Xu Ailian sometimes wondered whether this was a blessing or a curse.

One generation influences another. The master and Qu Qu influenced her, and she influenced Chu Chu. Perhaps the master was also influenced by the master's master... They all became supreme good people, but also became the pitiful people who bore the heaviest burdens.

Is there no one who can jump out of this circle and be herself?

…

"Ah..." Xu Ailian woke up from her sleep, gasping slightly.

Once again, she dreamed that Chuchu sacrificed himself for her mission, just like Qu Qu did that year.

Even though everything has calmed down and Chuchu's child is already several years old, her dream has never stopped.

"Old woman, what's wrong with you?" The fox fairy poked its sparsely furred head out of its basket. "You're so old, and you're still having nightmares?"

Because the fox fairy felt her alienation from other people's forms and closeness to the fox form, she was a little more shameless and used the form of a fox. The two of them, no, one human and one fox, started a strange life of living together alone.

To be precise, it is the beginning of a life of raising and being raised as a pet.

"It's an old problem." Xu Ailian smiled, got out of bed, and tidied her clothes.

The fox fairy jumped out of its treasure basket, walked over to her with the handle of the basket in its mouth, and gave her some clear instructions.

"Okay, okay." Xu Ailian took the basket, let the fox fairy lie down, took out a small comb, and combed its hair bit by bit.

This is the fox fairy’s favorite part of the day.

No furry animal can resist the joy of combing its hair, not even one that is almost immortal.

After combing the hair, put the fox back into the basket, pick it up and take it out to wash and feed.

After eating and drinking, I took the basket and went for a walk outside.

The fox fairy likes to be carried for a walk, rocking like a cradle. She likes to sleep in the cradle, breathing the sweet air of the forest and listening to the rustling of leaves in the wind, just like she is in Fox Mountain.

He once wanted to take Xu Ailian to Fox Mountain, but when he saw that she was unwilling, he gave up.

Chen Zhaozhi and his group could not understand the fox fairy's dependence on Xu Ailian, but in fact all it wanted was a woman's patience and gentleness, who could give it considerate care and companionship in its old age.

In other words, this is the partner that every old man longs for.

But it also knew very well that Xu Ailian did not intend to treat it as a companion, but at most a pet to accompany her in life.

"Master Xu, Master Xu!" A villager came rushing in from the back door. It was Aunt Zhang from the same village, her face filled with anxiety. "Master Xu, please come to my house again. My family members are always having bad luck. They bump their heads, sprain their feet, and I don't know what's wrong."

After Xu Chuchu got married and Jiji became stable, Xu Ailian moved out to live in the countryside.

Unlike the luxurious and modern life that her younger generations like, she prefers life in the village.

The villagers also tend to be more simple.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Master Xu agreed with a smile. How could you not help your neighbor?

Aunt Zhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and jokingly said, "Oh, I'm bringing up your little fox again."

She reached out to touch the fox fairy's head, but it dodged her hand and bared its teeth in warning.

"Oh, its fur is almost gone, and it's still so fierce." Aunt Zhang laughed, "Master Xu likes small animals. When my dog ​​Wang gives birth to puppies, I'll give you one. It's very cute!"

"Haha, okay." Xu Ailian smiled politely and did not hear the heartbreaking sound of the fox fairy.

Aunt Zhang quickly led Xu Ailian and the fox fairy to her doorstep.

The man and the fox knew something was wrong at first glance.

Although this house was newly renovated, it was filled with a dead and decadent atmosphere.

Ordinary people cannot see this bad luck, only fortune tellers can detect it. People who live under bad luck are prone to bad luck. Minor bumps and bruises are not a big deal, but if they encounter major events in life such as imperial examinations or marriage, it will be very bad.

However, they were lucky enough to meet Xu Ailian at the same time when they were in bad luck.

"Let's go in and take a look." Xu Ailian said.

"Okay." Aunt Zhang quickly followed in.

The fox fairy stretched its neck high, trying to hint to Aunt Zhang that Xu Ailian was calling it, but it seemed that the hint was unsuccessful, as Aunt Zhang only had Master Xu in her eyes.

The bad energy in this house gradually becomes stronger from west to east, especially the room on the east side, which is shrouded in bad energy.

It is said that the room is where Aunt Zhang's son lives. He has been losing things these days. He failed the exam and fell into the river when he came back. He almost couldn't come back.

"Aunt Zhang, please wait outside." Xu Ailian held the fox fairy in one hand and the talisman in the other and entered the easternmost room.

The fox fairy jumped down from the cage and said impatiently, "Why bother with so much trouble? Bring these wronged souls and watch me spit fire to death on them."

"It's not a wronged spirit, it's a wronged corpse. A wronged spirit can move and kill people, but a wronged corpse can't. It can only affect a person's luck and body, but it's also difficult to deal with." Xu Ailian corrected, "And you are not allowed to spit fire. These are people's treasures, you can't burn them."

The fox fairy thought that these few broken tables and chairs were still precious, but she still let out an obedient "ow" on her face.

Xu Ailian channeled some spiritual power into the talisman, and the talisman left her hand, turned around in the room, and stuck to the easternmost wall.

When it comes to exorcising demons, ghosts and wronged souls, Xu Ailian knows more spells than Xu Chuchu, and has many useful little tricks, but Xu Chuchu didn't want to learn them back then.

"What's wrong with this wall?" The fox fairy poked its head out and immediately said, "Oh, I see. Did they paste a corpse into it when they were building the house?"

"You..." Xu Ailian shuddered suddenly, "How could you imagine such a horrifying scene?"

The fox fairy immediately pretended to be innocent and lied, "Well, I went to Xiao Yu's study to read, and it was written in the book."

"Why are these things written in the book?" Xu Ailian felt her scalp tingling.

Although she has seen all kinds of strange and disgusting things in her years of exorcising demons and monsters, she still finds it difficult to accept every new style.

Even so, she still placed her palms against the wall and sensed it for a while.

"No, there's no body." She murmured to herself, "Then where does the bad air come from?"

Where did it come from? Even the fox fairy didn’t know.

It sat on the ground, scratching its head with its claws out of boredom.

"Let's go out and take a look." Xu Ailian put the fox fairy into the basket and carried it out.

Ah, it’s comfortable. I like this feeling.

The bad air outside the east wall is more serious, but it is not easy to notice because it is mostly diluted by the sunlight.

Xu Ailian followed the Taoist talisman and came to the Wang family, which was a few feet away on the east side of the Zhang family's house.

It turned out that the bad luck came from the Wang family, and because it was too heavy, it spread to the Zhang family.

But why has no one in the Wang family ever said anything unlucky?
