The Golden Crow popped its head completely, dispelling the chill in the early morning and late autumn. Fang Chaozhou looked at the direction where Tubai left. After a long time, he turned his head again and looked at the mountain fog in the distance.
Sitting on the top of the mountain, the wind made his sleeves flutter. He raised his sleeves and cut the long hair that floated to his cheeks behind him. As soon as he raised his hand, he noticed the red hair band still wrapped around his wrist.
This was tied up by Zhongli Yueshui last night.
Fang Chaozhou stared at the hair tie for a moment, then untied it and put it in his arms.
It was not until noon that Fang Chaozhou got up and left the mountaintop. When he returned to his residence, he did not see Tubai. Tubai always followed him on weekdays. This was the first time he looked for Tubai, but he still couldn't find him.
Fang Chaozhou put the hair tie in his arms back into the dressing box. When he turned around, he found a bowl of medicine and an oiled paper bag on the table that was just empty.
This medicine seems to be a little different from the medicine I drank before, and it doesn't have that strong fishy smell.
For the whole day, Tubai didn't show up, neither did Zhongli Yueshui. At night, Fang Chaozhou was lying on the bed after taking a bath. Usually, at this time, he was teasing the other party, either playing with the other party's tail or stroking the other party's soft belly.
Tubai snores when he doesn't touch it, and when he touches it, he takes the initiative to lick Fang Chaozhou's fingers.
He stared at the bed curtain for a long time, finally turned over and closed his eyes.
He didn't sleep well that night. He woke up and fell asleep from time to time. When it was almost dawn, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing into the bed curtains. Before he opened his eyes, he felt the weight on the bed.
Afterwards, he felt his hand on the quilt being rubbed lightly by something, followed by the familiar itching.
It's Tubai.
Fang Chaozhou's fingers were licked, and afterward, his cheeks felt warm. Opening his eyes slightly, he saw white hair.
Tubai curled up next to Fang Chaozhou's face, just like it did before.
Fang Chaozhou pursed his lower lip and closed his eyes again.
The next few days seemed to be the same as before. Tubai was still by Fang Chaozhou's side, but it stopped snoring, and Fang Chaozhou never saw Zhongli Yueshui again.
Although the medicine is delivered every day, including the medicinal bath, it is still going on.
It seems that only Fang Chaozhou and the cat Tu Bai are left on this mountain.
It was so boring, Fang Chaozhou found some paper and pens in the study, and drew according to Tubai, but his drawing skills were too bad, the cat he drew was so ugly, Tubai saw it for the first time, and directly tore the painting with his paws up.
Fang Chaozhou: "..."
He coughed, "Don't be angry, I'll draw another one."
The second one was torn up again.
The same goes for the third one.
After painting the fourth painting, Fang Chaozhou hugged Tubai in his arms ahead of time, "Don't tear it up this time, just watch it."
Tubai, who was held in his arms, glanced at the painting that could not be seen as a cat at all, and meowed angrily, then turned his head and buried his face in Fang Chaozhou's arms, as if he really didn't want to see that painting painting.
Fang Chaozhou was amused by Tubai's actions, and couldn't help but took Tubai's little paw, dipped it in ink, and covered the painting.
A cute cat paw print pops out on the paper.
After stamping the cat's paw, he performed a cleansing technique on Tubai's paw to wash off the ink on it. Because he was afraid that the ink would be licked into his mouth if he didn't wash it clean, Fang Chaozhou used a towel to wipe the cat's paws carefully several times behind him, and the nails were also wiped clean.
Only then did Fang Chaozhou let go of Tubai, turned around to get the painting on the table, and said while taking it: "This is the first time I draw a painting, frame it, and hang it on the wall, Tubai, you can't..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "bang dang", and when he looked back, he saw Tu Bai running out of the door in a flash.
The one that made the "bang-dang" sound was the muzi on the ground, and Tubai knocked the muzi over.
Because Tubai left too hastily, Fang Chaozhou was afraid that something would happen to it, so he couldn't help chasing it out, but Tubai had disappeared. Worried, he couldn't help but perform a breath-seeking technique to chase after Tubai.
Chasing and chasing, he chased to the top of the mountain.
There is not only Tubai, but also Zhongli Yueshui standing there.
Zhongli Yueshui seemed to have noticed the movement behind him, turned his head, and frowned when his eyes fell on Fang Chaozhou, "What are you doing out here? Go back."
Just as Fang Chaozhou was about to say something, he noticed that Tu Bai beside Zhongli Yueshui had grown in size several times. To be exact, he watched Tu Bai transform from a white cat into a white tiger.
The white tiger stomped heavily on the ground with its paws, growled lowly, and stared into the distance with murderous mandarin duck eyes.
Zhongli Yueshui frowned even tighter, he reached out and patted Baihu's head beside him, "Send him back."
Hearing this, Baihu yelled at Zhongli Yueshui, then turned his head to look at Fang Chaozhou. After a while, it walked towards Fang Chaozhou, and Fang Chaozhou was stunned when he saw Tu Bai turned into a white tiger with his own eyes. He didn't react until the other party walked up to him.
But at this time, a figure approached from far away, the man was dressed in black, the mole between the eyebrows on the snow-white skin was as red as red crane blood, and the phoenix eyes under the long eyelashes like butterfly wings were like stagnant water.
He sat on the unicorn, stopped in mid-air, his eyes fixed on Fang Chaozhou first, and then he heard the roar of a tiger, and then moved his eyes to Zhongli Yueshui.
"Disciple Xue Danrong has met the master." He said.
Zhongli Yueshui saw Xue Danrong's sudden appearance, his expression remained unchanged, as if he had already guessed it, but his voice was very cold, "Who told you to come here?"
Xue Danrong said calmly, "What I want to come has nothing to do with others, let alone my master."
Zhongli Yueshui's eyes turned cold, "Do you know what crime it is to go to Mount Huali privately without being summoned by your lord?"
As soon as the words fell, Xue Danrong had already got off Qilin's body, landed on the ground, lifted his robe, and knelt straight on the ground, his knees touched the ground, making a dull sound.
He lowered his head slightly, and his voice was also very low, "I know I made a mistake, but not only one. One mistake, I disobeyed my lord and went to Huali Mountain privately; the second mistake, I failed the teacher's expectations, my heart was uncertain, and my behavior was wrong. One wrong step, and now I have reached an irreversible point; three wrong steps, I have already violated my childhood oath... "
Speaking of this, Xue Danrong raised his head, and his eyes fell on Fang Chaozhou again, "I can't tell which one is my heart's desire, the avenue or the personal relationship."
Following his voice, Zhongli Yueshui's face obviously became ugly, especially when he found that Xue Danrong had been looking at Fang Chaozhou.
"Since you know that you are wrong, you should know how to choose, Xue Danrong, the road is the way you must go."
Xue Danrong's eyes slowly turned to Zhongli Yueshui's body, those phoenix eyes were too calm at this time, as if nothing could make waves, "If I insist on choosing an affair, will the master wash my love again? memory?"
Zhongli Yueshui's eyes flashed, "When did it happen?"
His question was weird, but Xue Danrong understood.
"Five years ago." Xue Danrong said, "When I was locked up in the Zhichunzhou Cave Mansion and couldn't go anywhere, I looked at the names all over the wall and finally remembered why I wrote down these names."
Having said that, he actually laughed softly.
"I used to follow my master as an example in everything. Back then, my master told me not to repeat the same mistakes and followed my father's path. I listened, so I sent my brother to Huali Mountain. I hope that with my teacher's teachings, my brother will be determined." If I can practice diligently, I will form a Taoist partner with him in the future, and the master will not object too much. But I never thought that the master would seal my memory, hold the senior brother by his side, and even turn him into a puppet, a devil It is a thing of obscenity for people to play with, and senior brother doesn’t know, don’t you, master ancestor, also know?”
He looked at Zhongli Yueshui, "The master asked me to choose the Dao, what did the master choose?"
