Chapter 3 Ouyang Ancient House

Ouyang Xiao Leng returned to his home next to the Yongchuan Forest. This old house called Ouyang Ancient House was surrounded by a huge boundary, and it was difficult for outsiders to find it.

The unique pavilion in the yard, the rockery piled up of Taihu Lake, the small bridge with the winding path, and the endless flowing water... It still maintains the appearance when it was first built hundreds of years ago. The strange flowers and grass are not suitable for the time because of the demon method, and they try their best to show the beauty of purple and red.

The main structure of the house is built on a stone base higher than the ground. There is a large glass door in the living room. When you open it, you can directly walk to the platform connected with the courtyard. Under the platform is one end of the pond. There is historical mahogany furniture in the living room, surrounded by old calligraphy and paintings and a few swords, and a precious guqin is quietly placed in the corner of the room. All this is in sharp contrast to a few electrical appliances. TV and telephone abruptly exist in this space, and no matter how you look at it, it is not very harmonious.

Ouyang Xiao Leng's adoptive father Ouyang Hongye was sitting in front of the coffee table and switching the TV channel aimlessly. When he saw Ouyang Xiao Leng coming in, he turned off the TV.

Yesterday's attack on Xia Qiu in the forest has become Ouyang Hongye's heart disease. Xia Qiu, as the best candidate to sign a blood alliance with Xiao Leng, is extremely important to him and the whole demon world. He arranged Ouyang Xiao Leng to go to Yongchuan High School because he had a chance to get close to Xia Qiu. He thought that the signing of the blood alliance could be done slowly, but now it seems that he has to speed up the pace.

"When will you explain everything to Xia Qiu?" Ouyang Hongye asked directly.

"I don't know."

Ouyang Xiao Leng is still avoiding this problem as usual. He doesn't want to involve Xia Qiu in the war in his own world. How can he let vulnerable human beings share his responsibilities? Especially Xia Qiu, even if every time he approached her, the crown of the demon king in his body would have an unprecedented strong reaction, but he still tried his best to suppress it.

"Alas, you also know that that man's men seem to have been active in the demon world and the world recently. Wang Yue and Mu Ya also carried out investigations in the demon world and the world respectively. As the son of the snowy night, you must make a choice to be the only descendant of the demon king fox. Sitting down and waiting for death, our world is likely to be destroyed by that person. Ouyang Hongye said and stood up from the chair and walked to Xiao Leng's side. When he passed by, he patted him on the shoulder. "You don't have to go to school tomorrow. Go straight to Wangcheng. Lord Yong has something to do with you."

Xia Qiu was still thinking about Ouyang Xiao Leng's appearance in front of her house the day before. He obviously seemed to be waiting for her, but when he saw her, he avoided it to make her puzzled.

In her opinion, today's Ouyang Xiao Leng is also different from before, and his eyes and expression are much softer. Especially when he saw her in the morning, he seemed to have a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. In the past, the inaccessible aura around his body could not be felt. This was a good thing, but she felt a little uncomfortable. His attraction to Xiaqiu even began to surpass the ancient legends of Yongchuan, and his elusiveness fascinated her even more.

As soon as the school bell rang, Ouyang Xiao Leng was the first to get up and walk out of the classroom. When he passed Xia Qiu's table, he knocked on her table with his fingers intentionally or unintentionally. His move made Xia Qiu feel obsessed. He just wanted to follow him to see who he was.

She has been keeping a distance from him and following him. Although his pace is often light, every time she feels that she is going to be dropped, he seems to slow down a little. In this way, she followed him unconsciously to a path not far from Yongchuan Forest.

It is said that it is a road, which is more like the gap between the two closely adjacent buildings, and it is getting narrower and narrower. Later, it can only be passed sideways... She had to slow down, and she looked up and there was no trace of Ouyang Xiao Leng. I didn't know how long I walked, and finally came to an open space surrounded by dense green trees on all sides. Right in front of her was a high wall made of stone and a black gate. She walked forward and only saw the word "Ouyang" written on the wooden sign on the side of the gate, guessing that this should be Xiao Leng's home.

She never knew that there would be such a place in Yongchuan. The seemingly heavy door, which was different from her imagination, only touched gently and began to open in. Despite this, she still symbolically tapped a few times. The person standing in the door is not Xiao Leng, but a man who looks older than her. His face is like a peach blossom, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and a long black bun loosely tied up on one side of his chest with a blue hairband, which is very handsome. The red cardigan on his body seems to be a style that does not belong to this century. It only has a belt around the waist, and the hem of the long shirt is exquisitely embroidered and floats on the ground.

"Little girl, are you going the wrong way?" The man asked with a smile, with a little laziness in his voice.

"Hello, I'm a classmate of Ouyang Xiao Leng. My name is Xia Qiu." Xia Qiu, who just held her breath because of nervousness, began to speak and smell the faint fragrance of flowers in the yard.

"Oh? You are Xia Qiu, come in!" The man welcomed Xia Qiu into the yard and led her in. He continued to say, "I'm Xiao Leng's adoptive father, Ouyang Hongye."

Xia Qiu thought that he was indeed a person as his name. He had never seen anyone with such a posture as Ouyang red leaves. When he walked forward, the red gown gently swayed backwards with the wind, just like the same piece of hovering red leaves, which was as elegant and elegant. But what made her sigh was much more than that. When she was in the yard of Ouyang's house, it was like walking into a dream. The beautiful scenery here was comparable to the Suzhou garden in the album, but it added a little fairy spirit.

Ouyang Hongye has been taking Xia Qiu to the living room, asking her to sit down, and then opening the glass door of the living room. The fragrance of flowers outside the house poured into the room in an instant. He took a cup from the coffee table and handed it to Xia Qiu, picked up the teapot to fill her with fragrant tea, and then sat opposite her and looked at her carefully. After sending Ouyang Xiao Leng away early this morning, he transformed himself into his appearance and came to school. In order to lure Xia Qiu to Ouyang Ancient House quietly, he had to use extraordinary means.

"Where is Ouyang Xiao Leng?"

Xia Qiu was a little strange why Ouyang Xiao Leng was not here. She was somewhat embarrassed to be alone with his adoptive father Ouyang Hongye. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea. A breeze blew in, with the fragrance of flowers in the yard and the fragrance of the cup of tea, which permeated into her nerves. Her eyes began to be a little blurred and her consciousness became more and more blurred.

"He should change his clothes upstairs and will come down soon"

Ouyang Hongye's voice sounded so far away in Xia Qiu, and gradually she couldn't catch it. She completely lost her intuition.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the coolness felt in her body made Xia Qiu wake up. She slowly opened her eyes and was shocked. She was suspended in the air and was led by Ouyang Hongye to fly higher and higher over Ouyang's family yard. At this time, she found that the whole courtyard of the Ouyang family was surrounded by a large translucent net made of silk rope.

"Am I dreaming? What are those?" She couldn't help asking.

Those that look like big nets are called the boundary, and its function is that outsiders can't find the location of the courtyard. Also in this boundary, there is the Black Fire Purgatory. You see, it is the place where the red light is located, in which there are demons who have seriously destroyed the order of the three worlds for tens of thousands of years. Simply put, it is like a human prison. Those powerful but extremely evil demons are imprisoned under it. They are hung in cages and constantly suffering from the burning of the blazing magma underground until the moment when the ashes disappears disappear.

Xia Qiu is still doubting whether she is dreaming again, but if it is a dream, it is too real. Although she didn't quite understand what Ouyang Hongye said, she thought of the nightmare she had when she fell asleep in the Yongchuan Forest three days ago. The horrible world in the underground cracks she saw in that dream was the same as his description of Blackfire Purgatory. She was so looking forward to finding evidence that those monster legends were not groundless, but when they really arrived in front of her, it made her a little at a loss.

"It must be unacceptable for you to suddenly tell you this, right? These words should have been told to you by Xiao Leng!" Ouyang Hongye saw the confusion in Xia Qiu's eyes, but he had to continue to say, "I'm not a human, but a red-haired demon fox. Xiao Leng is the same as me. We come from the demon king city, which is also called Yongchuan, and we are connected to the world with two mysterious corridors. I wonder if you have heard of the legend about the road to the demon world in the Yongchuan forest?

Xia Qiu nodded. Ouyang Hongye's tone did not sound like a joke. What's more, if he was a human, how could he fly in the air with himself out of the gravity of the earth? She decided to continue to listen to him.

"Xiao Leng's grandfather was originally a silver fox god who was guarding on the edge of the divine world, because he had always yearned for everything in the world and often went to the world privately. Originally, his behavior was not allowed, but the punishment for him by Qiansu, the lord of the divine world, was a little unexpected after learning about it. He sent him to the demon world to become the demon king fox, the master of the demon world, and ordered him to take charge of the key to the door of the black fire purgatory - the crown of the demon king. Every demon king fox must find the human beings selected by the gods who can connect with his heart, and sign the covenant of the blood alliance with it. Only the covenant of the blood alliance can awaken the huge magic power of the silver fox god that still exists in the demon king fox, and the human beings who sign the blood alliance will also untie the power given by Qiansu.

Ouyang Hongye was talking, and a huge demonic spirit came closer from the ground in an instant. Ouyang Xiao Leng came back much earlier than he thought. It seemed that Lord Yong and Wang Yue could not keep him to spend the night in the king city of the demon world as originally planned.

"Hongye, you are interfering in my business again!" Ouyang Xiao Leng said angrily.

He had a hunch for a long time that Ouyang Hongye sent himself to the demon king city to see that Grandpa Yong was actually intended to hide something, but he never thought that he would directly bring Xia Qiu to Ouyang Ancient House. Thinking of being fooled by Ouyang Hongye made him angry, the uncontrollable demonic power began to shoot silver-white flames around his body, his hair completely turned silvery white, a pair of fox ears appeared on the top of his head, and a sterling silver sword appeared in his hand.

Ouyang Hongye knew that it was likely to hurt Xia Qiu when he started with Ouyang Xiao Leng in the air, so he took Xia Qiu to the ground. Ouyang Xiao Leng also followed closely, and the three landed almost at the same time.

When Xia Qiu saw such a scene for the first time, Ouyang Hongye's body also began to change, and fox ears appeared on the top of his head, and his black hair gradually turned red. The red cyclone around his body and Ouyang's cold silver cyclone kept colliding, and it seemed that it could explode at any time.

"Xia Qiu, you go back to the house first!"

Ouyang Hongye loosened and took Xia Qiu's hand and said, turning into a red-handled sword in his hand at the same time. But what he didn't expect was that this seemingly weak human girl suddenly stood in front of him and Ouyang Xiao Leng. If other human beings had seen their appearance, they would have turned around and fled or lost consciousness, but he did not feel a trace of fear in her.

"Didn't you bring me here?" Xia Qiu still doesn't know the reason why Ouyang is angry.

"Me?!" As soon as Ouyang Xiao Leng was about to ask back, he suddenly realized what was going on.

"I'm sorry, Xia Qiu, I lied to you!" Ouyang Hongye put away the sword in his hand and turned into Ouyang Xiao Leng.

This time Xia Qiu was completely stunned. She finally understood why today's Ouyang Xiao Leng looked different. Although the changed Ouyang Hongye was no different from Ouyang Xiao Leng in appearance, they could obviously feel the different eyes and aura they had when they stood together at the same time.

Ouyang Hongye has changed back to his original appearance. He also feels that it is a little inappropriate for him to do so today, but in the face of the enemy who may come back at any time and Xiao Leng, who has not been willing to tell Xia Qiu the truth, he can only do this.

Because of Xia Qiu's obstruction, Ouyang Xiao Leng gradually calmed down, and his body completely recovered to the appearance of an ordinary person. He knew that he had to make a choice now, whether to simply tell Xia Qiu everything or forcibly take her away from here.

"I want to know the real reason why you brought me here." Xia Qiu said to Ouyang Hongye that she felt that he didn't just want to tell her these things so much that he took so much trouble to attract himself here.

"I want to ask you to become a partner of Xiao Leng's blood alliance!" Ouyang Hongye answered bluntly and did not give Xiao Leng another chance to refute.

"Me?"

"Yes, it's you! Although you are not the only human who can sign a blood alliance with Xiao Leng, you are the most suitable one. Your fates were connected long before you were born, but you didn't know it, but the little cooling knew about it a long time ago.

"So that's why he went to my school?"

"That was also arranged by me. He didn't know it at first. You met at a very young age, and it was that time that he felt the choice made by the crown of the demon king in his body.

"I'll talk about the following things by myself!"

Ouyang Hongye wanted to talk more, but was interrupted by Ouyang Xiao Leng. He also felt that it was more appropriate for Xiao Leng to explain the rest to Xia Qiu in person, so he left the two of them alone in the courtyard and walked away.

Xia Qiu is very concerned about what Ouyang Hongye said. She met Ouyang Xiao Leng when she was a child. Why didn't she have any impression of him? She looked at Ouyang Xiaomeng's face and recalled it hard, and finally her eyes stayed on his gray-blue eyes. How could she forget these eyes? That's the most beautiful color she has ever seen. Who else can have such eyes? She suddenly remembered the little fox she had saved when she was six years old, and the door of the memory was suddenly opened.

"I once saved a little fox when I was six years old." Xia Qiu blurted out.

"That's right, that's me!"
