Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 285: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (12)

According to Shi Qi's luck, when they climbed over the wall to go back, as expected, they were caught red-handed.

Because Lu Ziqi was a cook, there were no curfews and naturally no punishment, so Huikong asked him to take Xiaojiu and leave quickly.

However, Shi Qi was directly punished to guard the ancestral temple and pray for the people.

In the evening, dark clouds gathered and strong winds were howling. After a while, heavy raindrops fell and the leaves rustled.

Shi Qi felt a chill on his forehead, pulled his monk's hat, and walked quickly towards the ancestral hall.

The rain was getting heavier, the soil was quickly wet, and the temperature dropped by several degrees.

Thinking of the strange look Huikong had just given him, Shi Qi sighed, tightened his clothes, and walked quickly towards the ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall is very remote, in the southernmost part of the entire Nan'an Temple, and it is also what they call a forbidden area. It is surrounded by grass and shrubs that no one has maintained. It is not difficult to see that no one has been here for a long time.

There was no path on the muddy ground, only the vague footprints left by Shi Qi.

Shi Qi stepped into the ancestral hall, shook off the raindrops on his body, then looked up and carefully examined the ancestral hall in front of him.

It is called an ancestral hall, but it is too simple and strange.

There were no tablets or Buddha statues for worship, nor was there any spacious space. It was just a small empty venue with candles lit.

The painting right in front of it is even more out of place with this place. The scroll is laid out flat and hung upright. Perhaps because of some time, the scroll has turned yellow.

The eight-tailed white fox in this painting is truly weird.

Generally speaking, a fox should be painted with a tail, and a snake should be painted with feet. The white fox in this painting has black pupils and curved eyebrows, but it also reveals a hint of evil. Its hair is as pure and natural as snow, and there is a red mole between its eyebrows. It is charming but not vulgar. It can be called a superb and beautiful thing. However, this lifelike picture is missing a tail, which always looks a little empty.

Since there are demons in this world, there must be more than one kind. In addition, she had heard the nun say that this place was a forbidden place and there might be unclean things, so it was not difficult for her to guess.

This painting... is most likely a seal, and I cannot touch it at all.

Shi Qi retracted his gaze, looked at the rain outside which was getting heavier, and prepared to close the door.

But just when she was about to touch the door, it suddenly slammed shut.

Shi Qi withdrew his hand, pursed his lips, glanced around, and made sure that there was nothing strange before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, the wind is really weird today."

After the door was closed, the room gradually became warmer. Shi Qi picked up the cushion beside him, shook off the dust, sat down cross-legged, and planned to stay here all night.

'Tick-tock...tick-tock'

I can still hear the sound of raindrops outside the house moistening everything.

Although it was a rainy day that should have been perfect for sleeping, Shi Qi didn't dare to relax at all.

She just closed her eyes, twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, and prayed over and over again for Bai... uh, prayed for herself first.

For some reason, she closed her eyes.

But she always felt that there was an inexplicable gaze in front of her... which made her feel a little depressed and she dared not open her eyes.

It’s not that she was afraid of monsters, she had seen them before, but she was afraid... that monster was too ugly.

Bald: “…” Can the face control person choose the next time?

Shi Qi concentrated his mind, twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand again, and silently chanted the Heart Purification Mantra.

For a moment, the room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of Buddhist beads colliding.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past. Shi Qi felt the room suddenly darken, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the candles on both sides of the scroll had gone out.

Obviously... there are no windows and the door is closed.

Shi Qi silently chanted in his heart: Amitabha, revenge is needed, grievances are needed, don’t come after me, demons and ghosts, please leave quickly…

He sighed resignedly, stood up and relighted the candle. The room became bright again. Just as he was about to turn around, he discovered that a paintbrush had appeared next to the scroll.

Shi Qi calmed himself down and pretended not to see it.

"Sir... Sir, pick up the brush and draw the tail for me..."

A voice suddenly sounded, ethereal and evil, which made Shi Qi shudder.

He looked at the painting suddenly and saw the fox's eyes blink.

Shi Qi thought it was not good, she might be being targeted.

"Oh, my god, why did the fire suddenly go out? I guess the air is too humid, haha." Shi Qi turned his back and smacked his lips, saying nonchalantly.

It is still necessary to install it.

"Hmm~ Sir, I saw you shaking... You saw the pen, right? You could hear my voice, right?"

"Sir, as long as you draw the tail for me, I will give you whatever you want. I will definitely satisfy you."

The charming and melodious voice continued to sound.

It’s hard to imagine that this is a male demon.

Shi Qi was so horny that he shook off goosebumps and continued to meditate calmly.

For a moment, she thought that if it was a female demon, she might help her. But such a greasy male fox demon, who was sealed, must not be a good demon, and it would really harm people if he was released.

She was actually getting rid of a scourge for the people.

But obviously, this fox demon seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and kept clinging to Shi Qi.

Shi Qi couldn't stand the sound, so he opened his eyes, stood up, and walked towards the portrait step by step. Following Tu Tu's advice, he was ready to draw a cross on the fox's mouth to make him shut up.

But when her eyes met the fox's eyes, her mind suddenly went blank. She picked up the pen in her hand, but for a moment she didn't know what she was going to do with the pen.

"Sir... um, yes, pick up the pen, you are going to help me... draw the tail."

Shi Qi was in a daze, his hand holding the pen uncontrollably. He just followed the voice's instructions and moved towards the fox's tail.

Every stroke is smooth and flowing.

"Right, that is it…"

After a while, Shi Qi had completely painted the tail in the painting. The moment he stopped writing, the scroll emitted a dazzling red light. The fox in the painting had become a nine-tailed fox, and the seal was lifted.

“Ahahahaha…Ahahaha, I’m out…”

Shi Qi blinked, looked at the paintbrush in his hand, and the fox that had disappeared from the bushes in the painting, and regained consciousness.

Was she just... bewitched?

Sure enough, the fox's eyes cannot see.

Now, she has let the greasy male fox out.

Shi Qi frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment.

This sudden change naturally did not occur in the original text. Now... I don’t know whether letting him out is a blessing or a curse.

"Amitabha." Shi Qi muttered silently. After all, this was a big event in the temple, so he decided to tell Huikong about it.

I guess he will be fined again.

When he turned around and prepared to leave, he bumped into a wall of flesh and felt a pain on his forehead.

"Haha, good, good! I could only see a vague shadow in the painting just now. I didn't expect that the official was a nun."

A magnetic and charming voice came from above her head.

Shi Qi hurriedly took a step back, lowered his head and said nothing.

This kind of fox demon seduces everyone and is deeply sinful, so she'd better avoid provoking it.

"Sir, why don't you look up at me? I have waited for a hundred years, and you are the first person to see the pen. In this case, I will naturally satisfy your wish. Sir, do you want to have a love affair with me?"

The male fox's eyes were as charming as silk, and a faint fragrance invaded Shi Qi's nostrils.

Shi Qi: ...Not really.

"Now that I have let you go, please don't bother me anymore. The world is so big, don't hurt others. Amitabha." After Shi Qi said this, he raised his foot and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the demon grabbed her and forced her to look up.

The cold and unusually long sharp nails clamped her chin, and Shi Qi shivered all over because of the bone-chilling chill.

Then what came into view was the man's face.

Unlike his greasy and vulgar words, this face... is truly androgynous and extremely stunningly beautiful.

The sword-like eyebrows are like ink, just right for handsomeness and elegance, a pair of typical fox eyes with amorous and evil charm, black pupils are tempting, and the high nose bridge is like an ink painting, which is just right. The mouth is different from the exquisiteness and beauty of the other facial features, but the red and plump pink lips are indescribably... pure and hot.

Shi Qi never thought that in this life, she could use the word pure and passionate to describe a man.

"Sir, why don't you say anything? Are you stunned?" The fox was naturally confident about his appearance and asked with a smile.

Shi Qi's heart trembled.

"Yeah, I was indeed stunned."

He was quite surprised that the little nun in front of him was so straightforward.

"Haha, Sir, you are really funny. My name is Xiang Ling. What's your name?"

Shi Qi: Like Ling? Uh… the name really suits the person.

"Pure heart."

The male fox laughed so hard that his body shook with laughter: "Sir, I like your name, but it means pure as the elegant wind and calm as the water?"

Shi Qi blinked and replied: "No, it's about being pure and free from desires."

Xiang Ling: ...

The candlelight flickered as they looked at each other, feeling awkward.
