"I'll take a look."

After saying that, Pu Songling looked out through the gap between the window flowers, and saw dozens of villagers standing outside the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with torches in full swing. The leader was not someone else, but Wang Hongqing. He shouted: "Pu Songling, you old guy, you are raising monsters privately at home, get out of here!"

Chen Shuqing couldn't believe his ears, and Hua Rong said with a gloomy look: "It's Aqing, how could he..."

Pu Songling sighed: "It seems that he pretended to accept you, just because he was afraid that you would hurt him at that time. Alas, shemale men cannot coexist. Now, do you know the sinisterness of human hearts?"

Chen Shuqing's tears poured out and she asked in despair: "No, Aqing, no... No... sir, what should I do now?"

" Staying here will only bring you a catastrophe." Pu Songling pointed to the small path at the back door, "You can escape from the back door and go up the mountain. Don't hesitate. There is a cave ten miles away, and you are waiting for me there. In three days, I will make you become a human and leave Pujiazhuang together."

Chen Shuqing was undecided and said stutteringly: "Sir, but I..."

At this time, someone had already come to the door and shouted: "Pu Songling, we know you and Chen Shuqing are at home. Get out of here soon! Otherwise, we will burn the house!"

Pu Songling urged: "You go quickly!"

Chen Shuqing cried, "Don't leave! If they want to kill me, I will become a fox demon and kill them. Let's see who is more cruel!"

Pu Songling said sternly: "You must not have such an idea. Even if you hurt a person's life, it would be equivalent to denying my original intention of saving you at that time. I will never be in peace if I become a ghost! Let me go, leave!"

Chen Shuqing finally nodded: "Okay, I'll leave, sir, please be sure to keep your promise. In three days, come to the cave to find me and turn me into a human being!" After that, he ran to the mountain with tears in his eyes.

Pu Songling then calmly opened the door and asked to the crowd as if nothing had happened: "What's the point of finding me so late?"

Wang Hongqing said loudly: "Pu Songling, we have long suspected that there is something wrong with your Chen Shuqing. How can a woman have that color of hair? Today, she turned into a fox monster. Our villagers respected you for being a master of demon removal. He called you 'Liuquan Layman'. I don't expect you to hide it from us and raise monsters. Today, we want you to hand over Chen Shuqing and we can spare you!"

Pu Songling smiled and said, "Mr. Wang must have had some misunderstandings? My Shuqing left Pujiazhuang yesterday and went to another place to do business. Please go home first. Three days later, I will lead Shuqing to give you an explanation."

Wang Hongqing said disdainfully: "Doing things? Humph, everyone, since Chen Shuqing came to Pujiazhuang 19 years ago, everyone has known that the woman has no relatives since childhood and has never left Pujiazhuang for so many years. I don't know what she drove tonight, coincidence that she happened to be not at home? May I ask Mr. Liu Quan, where is Chen Shuqing going? What's going?"

"This..." Pu Songling was speechless for a moment and couldn't think of a word to smooth things over.

An old man stood up in the crowd and said generously: "Mr. Pu, for your contribution to eliminating demons for many years, tonight, as long as you hand over the witch girl, I guarantee it in the name of the village chief, the villagers will never hurt you at all."

"Yes, hand it over!"

"Steal the monster!"

Angry roars kept coming from the crowd. Over the years, monsters have committed many evil deeds and hurt their lives. Pujiazhuang has also been violated a lot. People have long hated monsters and have no room for compromise.

Pu Songling said helplessly: "Shuqing is really not at home. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Stories from a Chinese Studio to search..."

Before he finished speaking, an egg flew over and hit Pu Songling's forehead. He could only hear anyone in the crowd shouting: "What are you talking about with this old man? We need his consent to catch monsters?"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense to him, let's search!" After Wang Hongqing said that, he took the lead in rushing into the Liaozhai. Others also followed. For a moment, the fireworks inside and outside the Liaozhai were bright and crowded.

Suddenly, a huge breath came from the sky: "Ha-ha-"

The crowd exclaimed: "Sure enough, there is a monster, Chen Shuqing, where are you? Get out of here!"

Pu Songling suddenly felt like he was facing a great enemy because he knew that a half-demon like Chen Shuqing would not make such a sound, and this could only be a real monster. He realized something and shouted: "My fellow villagers, it's the Demon Emperor who is here, you guys run away!"

I saw a huge figure, like a hill, walking step by step from the distance. Every time the figure took a step, a tremor on the ground, making the originally thrilling crowd stunned.

Someone cursed: "Damn, this old man Pu actually summoned the Demon Emperor to deal with us!"

"The Demon King is here, everyone should run away!"

While shouting loudly, the crowd scattered in panic, fleeing with each other. For a moment, the originally noisy people from Liaozhai were gone, leaving only the elderly Pu Songling facing the demon king who was getting closer and closer.

Ge Duo laughed and said, "Hahaha, Pu Songling, do you still want to protect such ugly humans?"

Pu Songling looked at his 75-year-old body and said to himself: "Do I still have the strength to continue protecting them?"

"Pu Songling, why don't you give me your heart obediently, let me become a demon king who is stronger than that Chiyou, and then destroy these poor humans like ants and create a great new world with only monsters, how about it?"

"Hmph, when you get to hell, you can dream slowly." Pu Songling raised the purifying power on his body to the limit, and without saying a word, he jumped towards the Demon King...

Two extremely powerful forces collided in the air. In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color and heavy snow fell in the sky.

...

Pu Songling's voice suddenly appeared in Chen Shuqing's mind, running on the mountain road: "Shuqing, Shuqing, can you hear my voice?"

Chen Shuqing stopped immediately and looked around: "Sir, sir...where are you?"

Except for the heavy snow, Chen Shuqing did not see Pu Songling's familiar figure. After a while, the voice sounded again: "Shuqing, forgot, you can't hear your voice. But I believe you can hear what I said. I will use the final power of purification to call you, you must listen...

Tonight, I used all my purifying power to seal the demon king who went south. The mission of my old man has been completed, but I cannot eliminate the monsters deep in the hearts of the world. This task is given to the world who will be one hundred years, two hundred years, or even a thousand years later...

At that time, people would say: 'Pu Songling was depressed and unsuccessful all her life, so she had to indulge in writing novels of strange stories. She is such a useless person.' Hehe, whatever they say, I don't care. My only regret is that I didn't purify you, my good daughter, into human beings, and then send you to the sedan chair for the wedding... You said, how beautiful you should be when you got married... Hehe, it's a pity that I can't see it. However, I wrote an article "The Fox Marriage" to entrust your and my common beautiful dreams. I hope you can see it in the future... Also, please live well. Even if you are born with ugliness and monsters, even if the book is full of ghosts and monsters, I always love human beings, and please don't give up. Your wish to become a human being. I believe that one day, someone will help you realize it... Goodbye, Shuqing, my good daughter..."
