C9 To dinner

"Huh?" Zhang Nan's face was filled with astonishment, cold sweat trickling down his back.

"Humans and demons coexist in this world, but each generation is an enmity. Demons eat the heart, while humans wear the skin of demons. Actually, we can't blame the demons for killing the humans. How many demons have we killed and how many of our own kind have we hunted?"

old Heavenly Master said as he opened a box and took out a glittering crystal ball.

The crystal ball was not big, about the size of a pear. It was bright and gave off a light blue glow. It was simply a rare treasure.

old Heavenly Master brought the crystal ball in front of Zhang Nan, and in that moment, Zhang Nan felt a cool sensation that caused him to feel relaxed and happy.

"What is this?" Zhang Nan looked at the crystal ball and asked.

"This crystal ball was left behind by the ancestor, it can strengthen the body, but it is not his greatest use. His greatest use is being able to see everything you want to see."

The old Heavenly Master said, with one hand holding the water ball and the other holding the hotpot. In that moment, an unbelievable scene appeared in the crystal ball …

Inside the crystal ball, a young girl with long hair and red makeup was eating a pear in her hands.

"Such a beauty. She's simply as beautiful as a fairy." Seeing this scene, Zhang Nan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

But old Heavenly Master did not agree, she pursed her lips and laughed, then pressed on the crystal ball twice, only to see the beauty slowly raising her head to look at Zhang Nan, her sweet smile suddenly becoming weirder.

Her smiling mouth grew bigger and bigger. The corner of her mouth was bent to her ears in a weird way. Her eyes suddenly turned blood-red and her mouth was full of blood.

The pear she was holding turned blood-red. It was not a sweet pear, but a human heart that was still dripping with blood. As for the beauty, her face suddenly changed, her mouth widened, and her nose became sunken. Yanran's face was that of a fox …

"Ah …"

Seeing that, Zhang Nan screamed in shock, and anxiously retreated a few steps, his mind still thinking about the fox that was eating the human heart's face.

With a wave of his hand, he caused the crystal ball to change back to its original appearance. "This is the fox demon s that eat the human heart, the ones that get caught by them will all be eaten by it. From ancient times, there have been countless of people who were eaten by the fox demon."

"Why do they have to eat people's hearts?" Zhang Nan was so scared by the scene inside the crystal ball that he started sweating profusely, still a little fearful.

"Then do you ask why people eat foxes and why they wear fox skins?" old Heavenly Master was at a loss for words, unable to say a word.

"The enmity between humans and demons, repaid with grievances and grievances, cannot be resolved, and cannot be cut. The only thing I can do is to minimize the number of casualties. " After old Heavenly Master finished speaking, he suddenly looked much older and placed the crystal ball back into the box.

On this night, Zhang Nan's mind was filled with the words the old Heavenly Master had said in the day. The demon eat the human heart, and the human wear fox skin.

The next morning, when Zhang Nan woke up, the old Heavenly Master was already no longer in his room. He stood up and went to the entrance of the village, looking at the zhangjiazun not far away.

"I know they chased you out." At this moment, an elegant voice came from behind Zhang Nan. Zhang Nan's body froze, and he slowly turned his head. "Miss Hu?"

Fox Fairy was dressed in snow-white clothes and had a light makeup on. Looking at Zhang Nan's face, she couldn't help but tear and her eyes became moist.

"Miss Hu, why are you here?" Zhang Nan felt extremely wronged, but when he saw Fox Fairy, he did not know why, but he felt inexplicably happy.

"I came to see you!" Fox Fairy pursed his lips and laughed, he was as beautiful as water.

"I didn't kill them. I just wanted to find them. I just wanted to do something for the villagers." Zhang Nan said, his heart feeling wronged, but now that Zhang Huai Wu's heart was suddenly dug out, Zhang Nan also felt that it was inconceivable.

Why did Zhang Huaiwu's heart get dug out when he happened to walk over? Zhang Nan felt that all of this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against him.

"Sir Zhang, may I invite you to my house tonight?" Fox Fairy said as he looked at Zhang Nan with his clear and transparent eyes, making it impossible for others to reject him.

But Zhang Nan did not understand why Fox Fairy would suddenly invite him to the Hu Mansion. At this time, Zhang Nan thought of butler Uncle Fu. Previously, he suspected that Uncle Fu was the fox demon, and since Fox Fairy had invited him, that was not good. He could use this opportunity to check Uncle Fu's real identity.

"Alright, then I'll bother Miss Hu." Zhang Nan nodded and agreed, but he still could not understand why Fox Fairy would want to meet him in the evening, and not invite him back to the Hu family mansion right now.

Seeing that Zhang Nan agreed, Fox Fairy smiled faintly, then turned and left like a beauty in an ancient painting, slowly disappearing from his hazy line of sight.

When he returned to old Heavenly Master's house, he did not know when old Heavenly Master had returned. Seeing Zhang Nan entering the house, old Heavenly Master seemed to know everything: "You saw her?"

Phew...

Zhang Nan could not help but be shocked. How did the old Heavenly Master know everything? Every move was within his line of sight.

"I suspect that the fox demon is in Miss Hu's house. I wish to take a look and humbly request old Heavenly Master's guidance." Zhang Nan was silent for a few seconds, then he spoke out his thoughts, since there was nothing he could hide from the old man.

"You can go, but you have to listen to me. Otherwise, if you stay in the Hu family for less than a quarter of an hour, you will die without a doubt?" As the old Heavenly Master spoke, he looked at Zhang Nan with his deep gaze, as if he was worrying about something.

"Remember, when you're 100 meters away from the Hu family estate on the way, every 10 steps, you throw down a paper bird." The old Heavenly Master said as he took out a stack of folded paper birds and handed it over to Zhang Nan. The paper birds even had some strange drawings on them, which seemed to be runes, but Zhang Nan was unable to understand it.

When Zhang Nan took the paper bird, the old Heavenly Master said, "Tonight, she has invited you to a feast. You must remember, you can't drink too much at the banquet, that's only honey wine, with your capacity for alcohol, you will get drunk in ten cups. You can't drink more than ten cups, otherwise even the gods will not be able to save you."

"I've never been greedy, don't worry about that." Zhang Nan nodded his head, he was sure that he remembered all of old Heavenly Master's instructions.

If there's only you and Miss Hu at the banquet, you should take the opportunity to take out this red rope. Once Miss Hu sees it, she will understand immediately, but you must remember, you can only take out this red rope when you two are present, otherwise you will die on the spot.

The old Heavenly Master's words were heavy and serious. Zhang Nan looked at the red rope, it was colourfully colored with a few black stripes on it, he did not know what it meant, but Zhang Nan did not ask any further.

Watching Zhang Nan leave, a glint flashed past old Heavenly Master's eyes: "Kid, can all living beings live? Let's see, tonight, can you live or die, let's see the fox demon …"
