Chapter 821: 2. Rain Night Wolf Demon

The light was swallowed by the darkness, but there were no stars in the night sky.

The wind was getting colder and colder, and it was about to rain at night.

Xia Ji got up and went to collect the clothes hanging under the eaves.

They were just two loose cotton coats. One was his, and the other should be…This life was wonderful.

In fact, he and Miao Miao only had two sets of clothes each, one for home and one for going out.

After removing the cotton in the spring and summer and stuffing the cotton back in the autumn and winter, these two sets of clothes could be worn all year round.

Back then, when Miao Miao had taken him out of the palace, she had obviously been in a hurry and had only brought some jewelry with her.

The money he had pawned for the jewelry had been spent over the years.

In this era where food and meat prices were high, if Miao Miao didn’t know swordsmanship, the two of them might have starved to death. How could they have a house to live in?

Xia Ji entered the room after he finished packing his clothes. The room was about five meters long and six meters wide. Two curtains made of coarse cloth separated the room into three small, narrow spaces.

There was a rough wooden table and a long bench in the middle. It was obvious that they were not bought from the market, but made from wood.

The scene of the siblings building the wooden table and bench appeared in Xia Ji’s mind.

In addition, the beds in the two small spaces were also built by the two of them together.

There were two porcelain cups and bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, an iron pot, a kettle, and two half-burned candles neatly placed by the wall of the wooden table.

On the east side of the table, there was a Buddhist scripture, some paper, ink, and a half-palm-sized sesame seed cake.

Xia Ji’s sleeping position was on the east side, so the east side of the table was also his seat.

According to Miao Miao, the east side would be warmer as it could get the sun earlier. She was a martial artist and had a good body, so she did not need such warmth. She gave it to Xia Ji.

Under the table was a small firewood stove, a small bag of rice, and some firewood piled up by the wall.

These were almost all the belongings of the siblings.

Xia Ji didn’t light the candles.

If there was nothing to do, it would be a waste to light a candle.

Therefore, he began to quickly check his body.

As expected, all the power disappeared again. This body was just a mortal’s body.

However…The faint trace of Dao runes could still be faintly sensed, indicating that he could turn objects into a part of his body.

“As expected, I guessed right. The Dao Aura really came.”

While Xia Ji was checking his body, he suddenly had a strange feeling. He walked to a water tank in front of the door and looked into it under the dim light…

When he saw this, he was stunned.

This was because his current appearance was exactly the same as when he was Great Shang’s Ninth Prince.

Phew

The wind blew.

The water surface on the tank wrinkled, and his face suddenly blurred.

Xia Ji turned his head, and a gust of autumn wind blew over, bringing with it a chill that could send chills down one’s spine.

The coldness made the young man shrink instinctively.

“It’s going to rain soon.”

“My body is very weak. I can’t get cold.”

So, he hurriedly returned to the house, first closed the two oil-paper windows to prevent the rain from entering, and then closed the door.

In order to save money, he did not light the candle. He sat alone in the darkness, thinking about his future.

However, no matter what he did in the future, he had to wait for Miao Miao’s return first.

Pa da…

Pa da…

The oil-paper window rang twice, and then there was no sound.

After being quiet for about two to three breaths, the world suddenly became noisy.

The wind was like a trombone, and the rain was like a light bell. The whistling and rustling sounds immediately filled the land. The wind blew against the trees, and the rain hit the dead leaves, causing the ground to turn yellow.

At this moment, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

The footsteps were not loud, but there was a certain lightness to them, but it seemed to be two people.

Then…

There was a creak.

The door was pushed open.

The bleak autumn wind blew through the door, bringing with it a chill and drizzle.

Xia Ji turned his head and saw two shadowy silhouettes standing in front of the door. He could vaguely make out that they were two women in gray, but their clothes were not wet at all, which made them look a little strange.

He thought about it, but he didn’t remember these two people.

Suddenly, his eyes moved and he saw the reflection of an ancient bronze mirror on the wall.

In the reflection, there were no two women in front of the door. They were clearly two wolves.

At this moment, the two women seemed to have confirmed that there was only one person in the room. They suddenly took out the hands hidden behind their backs and brought out two knives.

Then, he slowly stepped forward…

Xia Ji’s expression was calm as he asked gently, “”Ladies, are you here for your life or for something?”

There was a strange magic hidden in his calm voice.

It seemed that no matter if they wanted to take lives or things,

He would not be moved or panicked by this.

This gentle voice stunned the two women who were obviously wolf demons. They could not help but soften up.

“We want some food,” the woman on the left said softly.

“Do you want to eat me?” Xia Ji asked gently.

For some reason, this voice that was filled with magic made the two wolf demons ‘hearts skip a beat…

It was as if they were desecrating something, and they trembled in shock.

“No, no, no. It’s not that.” The two demons said repeatedly.

After saying that, they felt strange again.

They were wolf demons…

There was really nothing to eat in the mountains, so he thought of running to the edge of the town to find some food.

If they really had no other choice, it shouldn’t be a problem to eat someone secretly. What was wrong with them now?

Why did he have a feeling that he didn’t dare to?

Just as he was thinking,

A gentle voice sounded in the darkness again.

“Come and sit. Please close the door. The weather is cold and the wind is cold.”

Of the two wolf demons, the one on the left was still in a daze, while the one on the right had already closed the door.

Then, the two demons actually obediently sat down at the table. Their eyes seemed to be unable to hide anymore, and they were suffused with an oily green light in the darkness…

One of the wolf demons could not bear the pressure in his heart and explained,”Actually, I was too hungry and had no choice, so I came to look for food.”

After saying that, she was puzzled. Why did she have to explain?

However, the person in front of her had such a strange magic that she had no choice but to do so.

Xia Ji thought for a moment, then broke open the half of the sesame seed cake beside him and handed it to the two wolf demons. “”Eat.”

The two wolf demons took it and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Suddenly, one of them glanced at the Buddhist scriptures on the table and was stunned for a long time.

Thinking of the mysterious nature of this human youth, he suddenly felt lucky and directly retreated and knelt down. ” Please enlighten me. ”

Demons all had the heart to seek the Dharma and often wandered around the temple. However, they often did not know how to do it. Now that there was such an opportunity, they naturally would not let it go.

Although they didn’t know who Xia Ji was, they knew that the reason why they had such strange reactions was because of this young man.

The other demon also came to a realization and knelt down as well. He said sincerely,”We want to seek the Dharma. Please enlighten us.”
