This this…
Huai Bai's heart was heavy, it was fine for an old cow to gnaw tender grass, but the tender grass in front of him had been gnawed once three hundred years ago.
Do you prefer this taste
"Alas..." She sighed a long time.
Peiyu was lifted and put on again, and this was repeated several times. She couldn't guess what Master was thinking, but just stood there obediently and let her move, "Master?" She looked over worriedly.
Huai Bo met her eyes and couldn't help raising his hand to caress them. The eyelashes under his hands trembled slightly, like a soft feather scratching.
She shook her head, trying to get rid of this terrible thought, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this conjecture was very possible.
After thinking about it, he sighed again.
Peiyu felt uneasy, "Master, what happened?"
Huai Bo wanted to ask her about her genealogy, and thinking about Peiyu's life experience, she probably didn't have such a thing, so he said with a bitter face: "It's nothing, alas, it's nothing."
Even if Peiyu is Mingluan's descendant, there is more than three hundred years in between, so what can be done? Could she still drive her caring little padded jacket out of the mountain gate
Huai Bai felt a little regretful, it was too rash to form a bond with Ming Luan back then, and he never asked her where she was born and if she had any relatives in her family.
Peiyu glanced at her and put the gauze cap on her head, "Then don't get caught in the rain here."
Huai Bai was dejected, "Okay, alas."
Peiyu held her hand and led her out of Shengren Zhuang.
The palms of both of them were dry and warm, Huai Bai remembered that Ming Luan's hand was always cold, like a piece of ice that couldn't be warmed, Peiyu was different from her, how could Peiyu be the same as her
Probably because of missing Yuanfeng, peach trees were planted near Shengrenzhuang.
Boundless drizzle, flowers like crimson clouds.
A sleepy fox was lying on a flower branch, its fluffy tail swaying in the air.
The corners of Huai Bai's lips turned up, and he walked over with a smile, "Naughty beauty, why are you getting wet here?"
The fox demon lazily raised her eyelids, glanced at her, turned around, and the peach blossoms fell like rain.
Unlike Jiyue, Huai Bo stretched out his hand to touch the fox's tail with lightning speed. The tentacles are silky and smooth, and it feels great in the hand. It's no wonder that a steady person like Jiyue can't forget her.
The fox demon was so angry that his hair exploded, and he stared at her bitterly.
Huai Bai smiled so that his eyes were crooked, his eyebrows were like emerald feathers, and after a drop or two of rainwater, he looked extraordinarily beautiful, "Beauty, beauty, do you still want to stay in Shengrenzhuang in the future?"
The identity of the fox demon is revealed, no matter whether the people of Donghai care about it or not, it is impossible for it to continue to be a saint as Yuanfeng. Giving up to Jiyue at this time is the best result.
"I will leave here." The fox stretched, jumped off the flower tree, and turned into Hu Meiren, "She often said that after reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, when the end of life is approaching, only I regret that I have never traveled all over the world."
Hu Meiren looked up at the rainy sky and showed a relieved smile, "I will take her to see the vast world, the vast rivers and mountains."
Huai Bo shook his head, "How can there be a monster like you in this world?"
Hu Meiren walked on the mountain road, her steps were light, and her peach-colored skirt was like rouge blooming, "When I was a demon, I only knew that all things are born to kill, the weak and the strong prey, and if you don't fight, you will die. what a difference."
Peiyu said: "There is nothing wrong with this."
Hu Meiren nodded, lifted the hem of her skirt, jumped over a small puddle deftly, and drew a scarlet arc in the air, "However, when I was weak, I witnessed my relatives killing humans or powerful monsters with my own eyes. After I grow up, I swallow them in my mouth again, and wait for their children to come to revenge on me, and the cycle repeats, is this also right?"
She smiled, "Is it true that if you are strong, you are entitled to life and death, and if you are weak, you are doomed to fall into the dust forever. Killing and killing, when will it stop? For ignorant grass, trees and beasts, there is nothing wrong with this, but for us There may be another possibility of cultivating for thousands of years to give birth to a demon with spiritual consciousness."
Huai Bai looked at her quietly with a smile on his face.
Hu Meiren said: "She lit up my eyes, just like a sage brought sparks to the world, I also want to do something, maybe it's not right, but born in the world, if you don't try, then you should How boring?"
The peach forest is warm and windy, the rain washes away the floating dust, the flowers on the trees are full of raindrops, the petals are stacked, and the thin leaves are tender green.
The three of them walked through the peach forest, and their sleeves were full of peach fragrance.
Hu Meiren took them to a small pavilion with stone benches and tables.
With a flick of her long sleeve, she held in her hand the centuries-old wine buried under the tree. She was about to sit down, but she caught a glimpse of a red ant crawling around in a panic on the bench with sharp eyes, smiled slightly, bent down and carefully sent it to the green grass outside the pavilion.
After being a saint for so many years, a monster like her actually cherishes the life of an ant.
Knowing that the world is big, I still feel sorry for the green grass and trees. In the first hundred years of practice, she saw that the weak preyed on the strong, nature kills, and all things are ruthless; All have their cuteness.
"Thank you for your help this time." Hu Meiren poured wine for them and raised the glass, "I'm toasting you."
Huaibai drank it down with a smile. The wine is clear, and the fragrance of peach remains between the lips and teeth.
Peiyu brushed off the dust on the stone bench with a spell, let Huaibai sit down, and stood quietly aside, with a very respectful demeanor.
When Hu Meiren saw her, she couldn't help boasting: "Your apprentice is really filial, just like my Yue'er."
Huai Bo smiled and said, "That's that." Apart from thinking about going up the mountain all day long, the apprentice couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Thinking of Jiyue, Hu Meiren sighed again, her brows were a little sad.
Huai Bo persuaded: "Although she lost her arm, she got the Promising Sword. It can be said that misfortune and blessing depend on it. In the future, I will ask Jian Yi to make her a armor. Although it is not as good as flesh and blood, it can still act as usual. She said: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so we don't have to worry about it so much."
Peiyu frowned, children and grandchildren have their own blessings
Hu Meiren put down her wine glass and said: "That's not the case. There are many elders in the East China Sea who have vegetarian meals in place of their corpses. You saw them this time, and they didn't make much effort. But if I leave, Jiyue only has Jindan, I wonder if I can hold back this Group of people."
Huai Bai nodded, "Yes, isn't Zhang Li the same?"
Hu Meiren's face was gloomy, "I have been dealing with people for so many years, but I still don't understand. I am a demon, and although I am powerless, I have been working hard to fulfill what I promised her. People keep saying benevolence, righteousness and morality, but they do unrighteous things. I can't tell, just like the person who cut off Yue'er's arm this time..."
Hu Meiren tried her best to suppress the killing intent in her heart, but in the end she just felt sad, "She taught me benevolence, but she didn't teach me human heart."
The only thing to blame is that Yuan Feng died too early, but the longevity is fixed, so what
Hu Meiren drank the wine, and a hazy watery light appeared in her eyes, "Sometimes, even if you give birth to Nine Tails, cultivate to the sky, and be omnipotent, you can't change your fate, and you can't save the person you want to save."
Hearing her talk about fate, Peiyu's heart shuddered, and her eyes were fixed on Huai Bai.
Since her rebirth, she has been particularly afraid of the word fate.
Huai Bai seemed to notice her gaze, raised his head, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?"
Peiyu squatted down, leaned her head on her lap, and said in a low voice, "I want to protect Master, no matter what happens, I also want to protect Master."
Hu Meiren lay on the stone table, closed her eyes, probably drunk.
Huai Bai stroked Peiyu's hair, feeling that his apprentice's hair was as soft as satin, easier to touch than a fox's tail, "I want to protect you too."
Feeling Master's warmth, Peiyu's heart gradually settled down, she curled her lips, and whispered, "I'm afraid of fate..."
Huaibai comforted: "I'm not Yuanfeng, you're not Nine Tails, we are much stronger than them, when we are strong enough to compete with the Dao of Heaven, what else in this world can do anything against you and me?"
She remembered that Shi Ling was miserable, but she attributed the reason to her own weakness. He couldn't be strong enough to see through Mingluan's disguise early on, and he couldn't lead his friends out of Shiling, so he was trampled on like an ant so pitifully.
Huai Bai silently made up his mind, and after returning to Gushan, he began to practice hard, for Peiyu, and for all the people she wanted to cherish.
…
When Jiyue sent the fox demon away, the sun was setting thousands of miles away.
The sunset is as bright as a brocade, and the sky and the earth are dyed with a layer of gold, like a dream.
The fox demon cannot be a saint, even if the people of Donghai approve it, the elders in the saint's village will not give up.
Jiyue put the fox demon down and stroked her soft fur for the last time. The fox demon obediently fell on the ground without jumping away.
You Yancui's eyes were full of tears, and he choked up and said: "Master, I'm sorry, I was self-willed in the past."
The fox demon smiled inwardly, "I never blamed you. You are a teacher for one day and a father for life. How can parents in this world hate their children for such a trivial matter?"
When You Yancui heard this, the tears fell even more fiercely.
The fox demon's eyes moved to Liu Huangu, and his tone was somewhat apologetic, "In the past, it was Saint Zhuang who betrayed you."
Liu Huan looked at his tense body, forced a smile and said: "Master, Saint Zhuang raised me, and he has a great kindness to me. I..."
The fox demon sighed, "You have demonic blood on your body, and you are destined to go on a more difficult journey than others. Over the years, you have tried hard to accept the approval of others, but have you ever really liked them? If you don't like them, don't force yourself , things that have been painstakingly managed will not make you really happy."
Liu Huan frowned, looking thoughtful.
The fox demon said: "Let's send it here."
Its figure is as fast as lightning, rushing like a mountain forest, only to see a bright light passing by, and it reaches the mountain in the blink of an eye.
You Yancui sprinted for a few steps, and reluctantly shouted: "Master, don't leave us behind!"
The fox demon looked back at them, and remembered the time when he parted from Yuanfeng eight hundred years ago.
At that time, it was also such a twilight hour, Yuan Feng's lifespan was almost exhausted, and he decided to die alone.
It chased after Yuanfeng, crying and shouting: "Yuanfeng, don't abandon me, please, don't abandon me!"
Yuan Feng waved her hand, "I will travel alone in Qianshan, so there is no need to send each other off."
Did not look back.
The fox demon whispered: "There is no need to send each other off."
She turned her head and turned over the mountains, her figure was hidden in the sky, and she could no longer be seen.
The fox should belong to the mountains and forests, but it has been against the sky for eight hundred years, its cultivation base has regressed, and he has never been happy, so it is the best ending to pass the torch to the juniors and watch them go down this road silently .
I'm traveling alone in Qianshan, so I don't have to see you off.
Where in life do not meet.
