The child to a shiver of fear, turned around to slip, anxious between the feet tripped next to the stone steps, two large tails from the hem revealed. The young Taoist priest was quick to grab one of them, and I do not know what law was cast, the child instantly turned back into a small fox, was grabbed with one hand a tail hanging upside down in the air, four small paws in the air desperately shaved, but also tried to open his mouth to bite people, but all in vain. The Taoist priest waited for the little fox to shake himself dizzy to stop before he said: "Demon, dare to come to the city to do evil, but the courage is not small." Listen to that voice, is obviously holding back a laugh. Although the little fox is a little dizzy, but the temper is still there, angry retort: "Who is a demon! I did not do bad things! Not doing bad things is good demon, no one can touch me!" This is a world where people and demons coexist, the heavens have the virtue of good life, even if they are demons, as long as they do not do harm to mortals, people who are capable of catching demons have to follow the rules, they can not be touched. "How dare you argue." The young man grabbed two big tails, a pair of translucent eyes are because of that comfortable feel and smile narrowed, "I can see with my own eyes you do bad things." "You nonsense! You stinky Taoist priest blood mouth spitting!" The little fox has not given up the struggle, the mouth is not idle, "Oh, no, blood mouth spitting demon!" The young man finally couldn't help himself and laughed out loud, "Then who just tried to steal the chicken leg?" Being punctured by the crime, the little fox immediately wilted, nor speak, nor struggle, resignation like closed eyes, hanging in mid-air to play dead. This miserable look triggered the sympathy of the young Taoist priest. In fact, he sneaked out of the Daoist temple on Lianhe Mountain tonight behind the back of his master, just want to get together this Tanabata Festival, not at all hold any serious thoughts of subduing demons, but happened to see this little fox demon trying to steal food, just to catch a little. Now the little guy put on this pathetic look, he also can not bear to be difficult. Just himself in the city alone for half a day, also quite boring, this little fox looks fun, since they are wandering, but can be a companion. I thought I was going to be unlucky, but the little fox felt like he was put back on the ground. It rolled sensitively, stood up and looked up at the young Taoist priest, his slithery eyes full of confusion. "This is a holiday, I also have a holiday, too lazy to take you." The young man bent down, still want to reach out and touch the little fox's head, was forced back by its exposed small fangs. Seeing that the little guy was still wary of himself, he pointed to the eatery next to him and laughed, "Want to eat a chicken leg?" The little fox proudly turned its head to the side. It had a backbone. But it is so much less tempting than a chicken leg. See the little guy while straining his posture, and at the same time can not help but sneak out little paws to grind their heels, the young man laughed more happily: "All right, do not end the stand, want to eat, come with me." The young man then tentatively took two steps forward, and sure enough, the little fox followed closely. He looked up at the street, thinking, stopping his steps: "You can not follow me in this way, or change back to a child." While talking, the young Taoist priest just saw a young boy with a young boy walking across the water street, the older cool, the younger lively, looks like two brothers.
