Chapter 16 Fox Demon Family "When I was offering incense to Grandmaster, there were five incense sticks, three were long and two were short. I knew something was wrong with you right away."
Uncle Ming was leaning against the counter, holding a cigarette and his slippers dangling on his feet.
"I just asked you to investigate, and I didn't ask you to kill the fox demon. But I didn't expect that you were quite capable and could kill the werewolf under his nose. After all, our Taoist talisman paper, It’s not very effective against these Western beasts.”
It was rare for Uncle Ming to talk so much, so Yin Xiu sat on the chair next to him and listened silently.
After drinking a bowl of talisman water given to him by Uncle Ming and taking some medicine from Da Sang, Yin Xiu's condition was obviously much better.
"Uncle Ming, do you think there are still fox demons on Hong Kong Island?"
Uncle Ming glanced at him, "Why do you ask?"
"There are not many monsters on Hong Kong Island. I heard from my uncle that he used to live in the north, where all the fox monsters lived in a large family. With their children, grandchildren, and slaves, a family would have hundreds of people.
In late summer and early autumn, when the fox demon marries his daughter, all the fox demons within a hundred miles will come to attend the banquet. The gongs and drums can last all night long and can be heard in nearby villages. "
After hearing this, Yin Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "What a lively scene that must be."
"Exciting?" Uncle Ming snorted coldly, "It's good if it doesn't scare people to death. If anyone peeks at the fox demon marrying his daughter and is discovered by them, the whole family will not be able to live in peace for the whole year."
"But you can rest assured. As I said, there are not many monsters in Hong Kong Island. If you kill the fox monster, a big family will not come to you for revenge. You should first worry about whether the werewolf family will come to your door. Bar."
"Uncle Ming, you mean..."
As soon as Yin Xiu's words came to her lips, Da Sang came over shirtless. When he met the werewolf, he had to change from his shirt to his pants and even his underwear.
At this moment, he was followed by a dozen well-dressed men, all holding weapons in their hands, walking toward Yin Xiu, with murderous looks on their faces.
Yin Xiu couldn't help but frown. Did this fat guy bring so many people to seek revenge on me? He stood up immediately. It seemed that the beating was inevitable. After all, he had caused the death of three of his younger brothers, so a beating was considered a light punishment.
Da Sang took long strides, the cheeks on both sides swaying with the frequency of walking, and his eyes were widened, staring at Yin Xiu.
Although she was mentally prepared, Yin Xiu was still a little weak.
"Brother Da Sang, please listen to me..."
"Master!" Da Mang suddenly bowed ninety degrees to him, "If it weren't for you tonight, I would have handed it over to the werewolf."
"..."
Da Sang held Yin Xiu's hand tightly, with such force that veins popped out on Yin Xiu's forehead.
"If you hadn't been clever and used a trick to lure the snake out of the hole, making the werewolf think that we were going to run away, that guy would have run away long ago. How could we wait for this..."
"The great master takes action!"
Da Sang let go of Yin Xiu's hand and went to shake hands with Uncle Ming. After being rejected by the latter with cold eyes, he was not annoyed and just stood aside with a smile on his face, his eyes full of reverence.
"Master, great master, please give me a face during the funeral tonight and stay for a midnight snack before leaving!"
Uncle Ming rolled his eyes and said coldly: "How come you are not a master? Call me Uncle Ming."
"Okay, okay." Da Sang nodded repeatedly.
Then he looked at the people behind him and raised his voice an octave, "Why don't you call someone soon?"
"Uncle Ming!"
"Fat man, are you crazy?"
The short mules saluted him uniformly, but it made Uncle Ming feel uncomfortable all over. He jumped down from the edge of the counter and stared at Da Sang fiercely, "Have you finished the tail of your hand?"
Da Sang nodded repeatedly and patted his chest vigorously: "Uncle Ming, don't worry, I'm talking about Bolan Street, it doesn't matter if a few people disappear, and those two guys are monsters, no one will notice."
Uncle Ming glanced at him again, nodded and said: "That's good, don't spread it out. You also know that it will be very troublesome if outsiders know about it." "That's right."
As if he remembered something, Uncle Ming asked again: "The fox demon, have you cleaned up its body?"
Da Sang replied: "Yes, I have already packed up at the place where Yin Xiuda...Yin Xiu told me, but..."
He seemed to be hesitant, and then said after a pause: "Xiaomeng, that is, the fox demon, seems different from the werewolf. It has no prototype, it looks like..."
Uncle Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and added what Da Mang didn't dare to say, "It's no different from a human corpse, right?"
"Yes……"
Da Sang nodded, and then shook his head violently like a rattle.
"I didn't doubt what you meant, Uncle Ming. I just said that the corpse was indeed a bit weird."
Uncle Ming just snorted coldly: "The spiritual energy of Hong Kong Island is thin. The fox demon was trapped in the human body for too long. After death, the mana dissipated, and the body naturally became human."
Da Sang didn’t know whether he understood it or not, but he just kept saying yes.
Uncle Ming adjusted his glasses and said, "Put her body away and leave no memorial tablet or anything else. Just burn some paper money and give it to her."
After finishing the rest of the instructions, Uncle Ming looked at Yin Xiu, "How are you doing? Can you still leave?"
Yin Xiu showed a bright smile and said, "It's almost done."
"Then let's go, it's time to go back."
Uncle Ming waved his hand and walked out.
It was only then that Da Sang realized what he was doing and hurriedly followed. He didn’t dare to stop Uncle Ming, but just said: “Uncle Ming, you really don’t want to stay for a meal before leaving? Our fragrant pork pot on Bolan Street is first-class, not as good as Chengdu’s. The difference between the village and the village is must-try.”
He also wanted to persuade Yin Xiu, but Yin Xiu just followed Uncle Ming and silently shook his head at him.
"Then why don't you two leave your contact information and I'll find you later?" he said again.
"Hey, fat man!"
Uncle Ming stopped and pointed two fingers at him, "If you don't want this trick of yours, just go and inquire about us."
Uncle Ming really didn't look like he was joking at this time. Just that look in his eyes made Da Sang, who was used to seeing bloody events, retreat in fear.
A Taoist priest who can pluck off a werewolf's head in two strokes is more frightening than the red stick with double flowers in the club! "Uncle Ming, if you don't want to say it, just don't say it. We can meet again if we are destined. Or if you have nothing to do, you can come to Bolan Street to have tea with me."
……
"Offer incense to the Patriarch." Uncle Ming said calmly.
Yin Xiu took the five sticks of incense he handed over and bowed respectfully three times to the portrait of his ancestor on the wall before raising his head.
"Uncle Ming, why are you offering incense to the ancestor so late?"
Uncle Ming just said calmly: "If you want to form an altar to teach Dharma, naturally you have to ask the Patriarch to witness it."
Teaching Dharma in an altar?
Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment before reacting, and her face was full of excitement: "Uncle Ming, you mean that you are finally willing to accept me as your apprentice."
Uncle Ming squeezed out laughter from his nostrils and nodded.
