How To Die As Heavy As Mount Tai
Chapter 30
A baby's cry sounded in the small courtyard, but the cry was very weak.Bai finished cleaning the baby with spells, and then wrapped it in a brocade quilt. He looked at the baby carefully.As a father for the first time, the expression on his white face was extremely sad, because he knew that this child's life was gone, and he might not live long.
"It's a daughter." Bai whispered to Yunniang.
"Come here and show me." Yunniang said weakly.
Bai hesitated for a moment, he didn't want to show the child to Yunniang, so as not to increase his sadness.But seeing Yunniang's expectant look, he couldn't bear to reject her after all.
Yunniang hugged the child, her face showed the happiness and love of a first-time mother: "I met your father when the pear blossoms were in full bloom, so your name is Baili, okay?"
She lowered her head and gently kissed the baby's cheek: "I wish you a happy life, safe and worry-free."
Immediately, she saw Yunniang spit out something from her lips and put it into the mouth of the baby in her arms, she didn't swallow the Qianyelian liquid, but secretly hid it under her tongue.
The incident happened so fast that Bai at the side didn't have time to stop her.The baby instinctively swallowed the liquid in her mouth. Visible to the naked eye, her pale face turned rosy, and her crying became louder and louder.
But Yun Niang, as if her wish had come true, her complexion immediately turned gray, it seemed that it was just a flashback.
"Yunniang, why are you so stupid!" Yunniang's passing was a foregone conclusion, Bai was deeply saddened, and knelt beside her, weeping uncontrollably.
Yun Niang smiled softly, and raised her hand to touch her husband's face: "No mother will give up her child. Knowing you is the best thing in my life, but I have to go first... "
Bai firmly grasped Yunniang's hand, shaking his head feebly.
Yunniang kissed the child in her arms again, showing reluctance: "Bai, with you and Xiaoli, I have no regrets in my life, so don't embarrass yourself too much. What my family has done...you are not worth it. They ruined your practice... Also, take good care of Xiaoli..."
After finishing speaking, Yunniang finally exhausted her last strength and closed her beautiful and gentle eyes, but there was still a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.
a few days later.
Bai finally recovered a little from the grief of losing his wife.Only then did Lu Heng learn what happened that day.
Embrace the guilt.
Some time ago, Bai went out to find the auxiliary elixir needed to sacrifice Qianyelian.Yunniang's parents and elder brother suddenly came to the door, claiming that since the matter between Yunniang and Bai was a foregone conclusion, they were willing to admit the marriage between Yunniang and Bai for the sake of their children.
Although Yunniang never regretted leaving her family and elope with Bai back then.But she still misses her family when she wakes up in the middle of the night.
Yun Niang was originally a girl in the boudoir, and she was overjoyed by the initiative of her close relatives.Without too much suspicion, they were left to live in the small courtyard.But I never thought that they did not come with good intentions.
Yunniang's elder brother had contacts with a disciple of a sect, and accidentally learned that a demon clan had obtained a treasure, and saw the appearance of that monster clan in the photo bead.He was pleasantly surprised to find that this Yaozu turned out to be the poor boy who abducted his sister and ran away.
Over the years, Yunniang has been sending letters to her family, hoping to return to her hometown to visit relatives and ease the relationship with her family.However, Yunniang's parents lost face in front of the magistrate because of her escape from marriage, and they always regarded her as a shame for the family.
They still know where Yunniang is now.Her elder brother has always wanted to step into the road of cultivating immortals, but due to his aptitude, he couldn't join any sect.The moment he heard about it, he knew his chance had come.He hit it off with that sect disciple, and after the sect disciple reported to the sect, he promised Yunniang's brother that as long as he could cooperate to get the treasure, he would be accepted as a disciple.
This led to the parting of life and death that night.
That day, Bai searched for medicinal materials and returned to the small courtyard, where he saw his wife with a happy face.Knowing that his wife was reconciled with his family, Bai was also very happy for her, because he also knew that this matter had always been a problem for Yunniang.That night, Bai hosted a banquet for Yunniang's family, but when he was relaxing, Yunniang's elder brother attacked him with a powerful magic weapon.
At the critical moment, it was Yun Niang who blocked the attack with her body.Yunniang, who was seriously injured, moved her fetus, and the fetus in her womb couldn't wait to be born.The small courtyard was also surrounded by cultivators who came from nowhere, and then, it was what Lu Heng saw that day.
"I'm going to take Yunniang's body back to the clan's place for burial. Let's go to the clan's place someday." Bai held a small ball of snow rabbit in his arms, and when he saw Lu Heng looking at the snow rabbit in his arms, he explained again : "The child of the Yaozu will be transformed into its original form one day after its birth."
After finishing speaking, Bai bid farewell to the two, and returned to the small courtyard to deal with the follow-up matters.
Looking at Bai's thin back like a ghost, think about Zhongmin's bones in the storage bag.Lu Heng couldn't help feeling emotional: "Is this how people and monsters fall in love?"
"This has nothing to do with humans or demons. Greed, hatred, and ignorance, the three roots of evil, each leads to bitter fruit." Shi Kong still looked calm, and Bai's encounter did not leave a trace of disturbance in his eyes. .
Lu Heng looked at Shi Kong steadfastly, and couldn't help thinking, what kind of things happened to make his immobile face change color.
"Don't get distracted by these foreign things, it's not good for your practice."
"Practice and practice. Hey, Shikong, do you raise me as your son? I'm hundreds of years older than you, so you can't mess up your seniority." Lu Heng blinked his eyes and made a joke, thinking Sweep away the heavy atmosphere in the air.
"Stop lying."
Lu Heng felt a pain in his forehead, and only then realized that Shi Kong flicked his forehead.This monk has such a serious expression on his face when he flicks his forehead.Lu Heng complained silently in his heart, but he only dared to show a begging expression on his face, and went to practice obediently.
The method of entering the Yaozu tribe is unexpectedly simple.
Bai gave Lu Heng two shriveled fruits: "This is the fruit of the Migu tree. If you eat it, you will not be fascinated by the miasma."
"Isn't that as long as they get this fruit, anyone can enter the Yaozu clan?" Lu Heng asked.
"The fruit of the Migu tree needs to be stimulated by the demonic energy. If the human race is not accompanied by the demonic tribe, it cannot be used." Bai added, "And it needs to be the demonic energy of practicing the righteous way, and those monsters who follow the evil way will not work. of."
Lu Heng nodded, trying to inject monster energy into a fruit.I saw that the shriveled fruit that looked like bark suddenly became plump, emerald green, and looked very appetizing.Lu Heng handed the fruit in his hand to Shi Kong, and did the same to activate another fruit.
The fruit of the Migu tree turned into a clear and sweet liquid in the mouth. After swallowing it, Lu Heng felt that his eyes and ears seemed to be much clearer.
After the three demons ate all the fruits, they crossed the stop stone and walked towards the demon clan.
Turning around a lush forest, the eyes suddenly opened up.Unlike the human race who like to use stone to build cities, the towns of the monster race are built directly among the trees.There are houses built on the ground, and wooden houses hanging on the branches. Lu Heng even saw a door suddenly opened on the ground, and then a thin monster jumped out of it.
Seeing Lu Heng's surprised face, Bai finally smiled for the first time in these days: "That's the Fenjin Rat Clan, and their clan lives underground happily."
After finishing speaking, Bai was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "When I told Yun Niang about the customs of these monster races, she was also very yearning..."
Lu Heng patted Bai on the shoulder, the pain of losing his wife could only be healed slowly by himself.Lu Heng looked at the chubby little snow rabbit in his arms, and thought that with the company of such a cute child, Bai should be able to recover quickly.
"Let's stay in Quelai City for the time being. The territory of the Fox Clan is in Qingqiu. Let me find a friend of the Fox Clan to guide you." Bai cheered up and said.
A group of three stayed in an inn run by the Feather Monster Clan.Feathered monsters like to live on trees. This inn is integrated with a towering ancient tree. The rooms are hung on the thick branches like bird's nests. This peculiar building opened Lu Heng's eyes from the modern society.
Lu Heng and Shi Kong still share the same room. Before, it was because Lu Heng looked young, but now they are used to this way of getting along.Anyway, I was meditating and practicing at night, so I didn't have to worry about not having enough beds.
As night fell, the moonlight was extraordinarily bright tonight.
Lu Heng leaned against the window and looked at the scenery that was completely different from that of the human town.I saw that the monster race below seemed to be rushing in one direction, and in that direction, various lights were dotted with stars, which looked like neon lights in the modern world.
"Eh? It looks like something big is going on." Lu Heng leaned out his upper body curiously and looked around.
"Tonight is the Moon Worship Festival of the Monster Race." Shi Kong grabbed Lu Heng's collar and pulled him back into the room. The room is quite high from the ground. With Lu Heng's half-baked cultivation base, he might fall if he fell down. Nose and face are swollen.
"Worshiping the Moon Festival? I really want to see it. Can I not practice tonight?"
Looking at Lu Heng's eyes that were almost shining, Shi Kong nodded: "The poor monk will go with you."
The Moon Worship Festival is an important annual festival for the Yaozu.The residents of Quelai City gathered in a huge open space by the lake.The bright lake water reflected the bright moon the size of a millstone, and the pure essence of the moon even caused many monster races to unconsciously reveal part of their true colors.
In the center of the open space, a tall platform was erected.The beautiful woman on the stage dragged her long feathers and danced with flying steps, her dancing posture was soft and vigorous with a hint of vigor.Lu Heng, who had never seen this kind of dance before, was a little stunned, but the dancer's expression was a little strange, his eyebrows and eyes were full of affection when he moved, and his whole body exuded endless youthfulness, and the hearts of those who watched the dance were soaring. stand up.
"This is a male demon." Shi Kong said.
What?It turned out to be a male demon!These words stunned Lu Heng like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, but he immediately recovered, and it was normal to think about it. The courtship dance of birds is originally performed by males for females.
Lu Heng quickly accepted the fact that he was watching this dance with pure appreciation anyway.
Let's dance.The surrounding atmosphere suddenly boiled up.
Lu Heng saw a male demon who was as tall as an iron tower beside him, and took out a flower as red as a flame, with an extremely inappropriate shy expression on his ferocious face, and turned towards a man who was about as tall as his chest. The girl goes.
The girl was slender and beautiful, and the two stood together like a beauty and a beast.Lu Heng originally thought that the girl would be frightened, because this tall male demon, even sending flowers, was aggressive as if he was going to kill someone.Unexpectedly, the girl took the flower generously and said, "You idiot, you finally got your wits about you!"
Then the girl grabbed the tall male monster by the collar, forced him to bend down, and kissed him on the lips.The demons around all cheered for the lovers, and the demon of good deeds took out a handful of flower petals and sprinkled them on their heads.
Such situations abound.This is probably the part of the festival where lovers confess to each other, Lu Heng thought so.
A pink flower appeared under Lu Heng's nose, holding the flower with slender fingers, she looked like a beauty at first glance.Lu Heng looked up, and sure enough, he saw a beautiful face.
Seeing Lu Heng looking at him, the beauty gave him a wink without any shyness: "Young gentleman, does my family still suit your wishes?"
"This girl, we are strangers, how can we give such an important token at will..." Lu Heng was embarrassed, and took a step back. He guessed that these flowers with the same shape should be tokens to express his love to his sweetheart on this festival .
The woman was taken aback, then laughed, her posture was extremely unrestrained, and Lu Heng laughed so hard that his face turned red: "Which clan do you belong to? You sneaked out before finishing your clan studies. My sister told you, this pink moon The meaning of seeing flowers is not the same as that of red moon flowers. That red is forever, and this pink is dewy love."
Then the woman blinked again: "Xiao Langjun is very suitable for me, how about my sister taking you to adulthood?"
Lu Heng was about to refuse, but he felt someone gently pinch the back of his neck, and a gentle but firm force pushed him back.Lu Heng couldn't help but took two steps back and bumped into the familiar chest.
"He's still young." Shi Kong saluted the woman and took Lu Heng away from the place of right and wrong.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Lu Heng felt a weird sense of guilt.But Shi Kong led Lu Heng to the high platform with a normal expression: "I heard that this last part of the Moon Worship Festival will be of great benefit to the cultivation of the monster race. Just wait here."
As the night darkened, the bright moon rose above everyone's heads.The interaction of those lovers seemed to have come to an end, and the noisy atmosphere gradually quieted down. Everyone looked at the direction of the high platform devoutly, as if waiting for an important ceremony.
The male demon who had just danced on the stage came up again, holding a bud-shaped magic weapon in his hand.After reciting a mysterious incantation, the male demon raised the magic weapon to the bright moon: "Please the moon god bless us."
Immediately, the flower buds bloomed layer by layer, and a small crescent moon rose out of it, getting higher and higher until it reached the top of everyone's heads.I saw the crescent moon whizzing around in the air a few times, and then suddenly flew towards Lu Heng and Shi Kong.
Before Lu Heng could react, the crescent moon split into two, sinking into his body and Shi Kong's respectively.Strange to say, after the new moon entered, Lu Heng didn't feel anything strange.Xinyue has already chosen someone, and the monster races around burst into cheers, rushing towards them enthusiastically.
On the high platform, the male demon shouted excitedly: "Bless the loving couple, the moon god will always protect you!"
Loving lover?What happened, Lu Heng was shocked.He saw that the Yaozu who surrounded him seemed to want to welcome him and Shi Kong onto the stage, but before he could think about it, Lu Heng grabbed Shi Kong and rushed out of the crowd.
Lu Heng flung away those overly enthusiastic monsters with twists and turns. After finally returning to the inn, Lu Heng found that he was still holding Shi Kong's hand tightly.
"You go back first, I have something to ask Bai." Lu Heng shook off Shi Kong's hand, and rushed into Bai's room without looking back.
Bai was guiding Baili to absorb the moonlight by the window, and was startled by Lu Heng's voice barging in: "What's wrong? So panicked?"
Lu Heng sat down at the table and poured a full glass of water down, but his mouth was still dry.After drinking three cups in a row, he felt that the flushed face was much better, so he explained what happened just now in detail.
"What kind of weird thing is that new moon? It's so strange. At the beginning, I didn't feel anything. After a while, I felt that my whole body was going to burn. It couldn't be some powerful evil method Right?" Lu Heng had some lingering fears.
Bai understood something in an instant, but he didn't know whether he should point it out or not.Master Shikong seemed to be pure-hearted and ascetic, and he was a monk.Bai, who realized the pain of love, didn't want Lu Heng to follow in his footsteps.
Bai thought for a while, and said: "That's the blessing of the moon god, not some evil method. Every year on the moon worship festival, there will be two... people who are close to each other will receive the blessing of the moon god. From now on, you two will practice together When it is time, it will get twice the result with half the effort.”
After receiving Bai's answer, Lu Heng finally felt at ease, and then went back to his room in peace.Shi Kong was already practicing meditation, and Lu Heng honestly changed back to his original shape, coiled on Shi Kong's shoulder.
It's just that Lu Heng is not stupid. The more he thinks about what happened just now, the more wrong it becomes. The male monster said clearly that he is a lover with deep affection.Reminiscent of Bai's weird expression and his subsequent ambiguity, Lu Heng figured out some key points.The blessing of the moon god is probably given to those who love each other.
love?Lu Heng couldn't help but think of the scenes he got along with Shi Kong, and he found that he really felt a little different about Shi Kong.
Shi Kong's unintentional approach always makes him a little nervous.And in the month when Shi Kong left, no matter what he did, he always thought about what would happen if Shi Kong was there.He even remembered the uncomfortable feeling in his heart that was ignored by him when he saw the scene where Princess Linyang seduced Shi Kong in Prince Gong's Mansion.
Lu Heng couldn't help laughing, he was so stupid, he had fallen in love with Shi Kong a long time ago, but he didn't realize it, and he always thought that his dependence on him was just a fledgling plot.
Just thinking of Shi Kong's never-ending appearance, Lu Heng became depressed again.It was the first time he liked someone, and this relationship seemed to be dying.Shikong is a Buddhist practitioner, so how could I let him break the precepts for his own selfish desires.
"Your mind is quite complicated, but what's bothering you?" Shi Kong asked suddenly.
Lu Heng, who was immersed in his own mood, was taken aback.Then he climbed down from Shikong's shoulder listlessly, and turned into a human form at the side: "I feel that with my current cultivation level, I can practice alone. During the time you returned to the sect, nothing happened to me."
Shi Kong looked at Lu Heng in silence for a moment, until he felt a little flustered, and then said, "That's fine, the way of cultivation depends on oneself after all."
Hearing Shi Kong's words, Lu Heng felt even more depressed.For the first time, he had dull thoughts about cultivation.
"You're restless, it's better to rest tonight." Shi Kong said again.
Lu Heng nodded, and went to bed with heavy steps.It was destined to not sleep well that night, Lu Heng only felt that he was dreaming all night, strange and bizarre, and a large amount of information seemed to squeeze his brain out.
After finally breaking free from the mess, Lu Heng realized that it was already noon.This is the first time he has been so slack since he embarked on the road of cultivation.Strangely, Shi Kong, who has always been quite strict in practice, did not urge him to get up.
The room was empty.Lu Heng sniffled and smelled the residual sanskrit sandalwood in the room.Fanyin sandalwood is not a special thing, only the eminent monks of Fanyin Temple can refine it, and the output is very small.This sandalwood is used during cultivation, which can increase the chance of entering enlightenment.
Did Shi Kong use Sanskrit sandalwood to practice last night?No, Shi Kong said that he never used external objects in his cultivation.Thinking of another function of sanskrit sandalwood, Lu Heng thought again.Could it be to help me sleep and drive away my nightmares? Impossible, this hard-to-find Sanskrit sandalwood is used to help me sleep. If I tell it, I am afraid that I will be chased and killed by those cultivators.
Lu Heng couldn't figure out the joints, and he didn't bother to think about it.Facing the mirror, he looked at his long hair that was messed up because of tossing and turning last night, and fell into distress.
The appearance of Bai saved Lu Heng.
Seeing that Lu Heng looked like he had seen a savior, Bai had no choice but to take a cushion and put it on the square table, put the white pear in his arms on it, then picked up the comb in Lu Heng's hand, and prepared to comb for him .
Before it started, Shi Kong opened the door and came in. His eyes fell on Bai's hand holding the comb, and he paused for a few seconds.
"Today, I won't bother you." Lu Heng stared at the mirror, not daring to look at Shi Kong, for fear that he would see something wrong with him.
Shi Kong didn't say much, just walked to the square table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea.Seeing Shi Kong's appearance, Lu Heng felt a little depressed again.He was really fed up with his appearance of worrying about gains and losses. Why is this emotional matter so troublesome, and his mood is completely out of control.
The comb fell gently on Lu Heng's hair, and Bai was about to start when the little snow rabbit on the square table snorted.Bai looked back, and saw that Bai Li, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up for some reason, trying to find a familiar smell.
Bai Xin wondered, his daughter had always been a deep sleeper, she hadn't slept for two hours, and it was difficult to wake up even in a noisy place.Today, I just fell asleep not long ago, why did I wake up.But Bai didn't care about thinking too much, and said sorry to Lu Heng, then put down the comb and walked over to coax his child.
Looking at his messy hair in the mirror, Lu Heng could only turn to Shi Kong for help: "Shi Kong, I still have to trouble you."
Shi Kong put down the teacup in his hand, and picked up the comb as he did every morning.It's just that Lu Heng felt that the force of falling regularly, not only fell on his hair, but also seemed to fall into his heart.
After Lu Heng finished combing his hair, Bai also coaxed the child.This is the time to talk about business.
Bai said: "My friend from the fox tribe sent a message, saying that today I just want to visit the Hui tribe."
"What about you?" Seeing Bai, Lu Heng seemed to want to say goodbye.
"I want to take Yunniang back to the Rabbit Clan, and then I will stay in the Clan and concentrate on raising Xiaoli. You can come to the Clan to find me after the matter is over."
no party last forever.
After introducing friends from the fox tribe to Lu Heng and the two, Bai embarked on a journey to the clan land alone.The passing wind swept by, and the white clothes were blown away.It was only then that Lu Heng suddenly realized that Bai was already in shape, and the clothes that were supposed to fit him now looked extremely loose on him.
Thinking back to the youthful appearance when he saw Bai, Lu Heng couldn't help but feel lost.The word love is a blessing or a curse for humans and monsters.
"It's time for me to leave."
Lu Heng heard what Shi Kong said, and then felt his hand fall into the warm palm.
"I'm not a child anymore, no, don't hold me." Lu Heng pulled his hand out, feeling a little hot on his face.
Qingqiu Mountain.Headed by the Nine-Tailed Fox King, it is the place where all the fox clans live.Bai's friends of the fox clan introduced them to the elders of the fox clan.
After hearing what Lu Heng said about Min, the elder of the clan frowned, and his expression was quite solemn: "This Min is the big monster in the clan, and he is too old to make decisions about his affairs. He has to wait for the Fox King to leave the customs."
"When will the Fox King leave the customs?" Lu Heng asked.
"It should be in these few days. You two will stay in our clan for a few days. When the Fox King leaves the customs, I will report the matter immediately." The clan elder said.
Lu Heng and the two had no choice but to stay in Qingqiu for the time being.The folk customs in Qingqiu have always been lively and unrestrained, and the fox girls who come and go are dressed very coolly.Although Lu Heng comes from a modern society, he has almost gotten used to the layers of tightly wrapped clothes in this world.Suddenly seeing this dress similar to that in the midsummer of modern society, he couldn't help but dare not look directly.
Lu Heng couldn't help but glanced at Shi Kong beside him, and looked forward, without avoiding his gaze at all.
"Don't monks pay attention to seeing no evil?" Lu Heng tugged Shi Kong's monk robe angrily.
Shi Kong turned his head sideways, looking a bit puzzled.Seeing this, Lu Heng made a subtle gesture and compared those beautiful and unrestrained fox girls.
"Your face is dry, it's just a superficial appearance." Shi Kong said, "Your Dao heart is not stable, and you need to step up tempering."
Lu Heng was choked to death by Shi Kong's words, so he had to imitate Shi Kong's unflappable attitude, and regarded those fox girls as grass and clouds on the side of the road.After a while, I found that it really had some effect, and I didn't move my mind, so I wouldn't be affected by any foreign objects.
For the two of them who devoted themselves to practicing, the days passed in a flash.
The Fox King leaves the customs.
Ruyue, the clan elder, introduced the Nine-Tailed Fox King to Lu Heng and the two of them.The place where the fox king practiced is at the source of Yingshui.The valley is rich in water veins. Under the sunlight, the water vapor rises into the air, and it looks like clouds and mist, which is quite like a fairyland.
In this ink-stained valley, a woman in a bright red dress is about to come out of the cave.This fox king's eyebrows are thicker than those of ordinary women, with a pair of red phoenix eyes, which look like lacquer spots, there is no trace of charm, and the whole body is full of heroism.
Clan veterans Lu Heng and two introduced to the Fox King, the Fox King listened, and waved the clan elders to retreat.
As soon as the elder of the clan retreated from the valley, the proud fox king in front of him saluted Lu Heng respectfully: "The king is here in Qingqiu this time, but something important happened?"
It's no wonder that the Fox King asks this question. The current king of the Yaozu is a complete cultivator, and has always been a dragon who sees the head and sees the end.If there is no major event, it will never happen. This has also led to the fact that among the monster clan, except for the kings of various clans, almost no monster has ever seen the face of the monster king.
This room, Lu Heng was so startled by the Fox King's gift that he almost lost his mind.king?She is calling me, what is the situation?Lu Heng couldn't help grabbing Shi Kong's arm, feeling a little panicked.
"Let's listen to what she has to say." Shi Kong said via voice transmission.
Seeing that Lu Heng didn't make a sound for a long time, the fox king raised his head, only to realize that there seemed to be something wrong with the demon king in front of him.
"My lord, what's wrong with your cultivation? How could you have such a young man's figure?" Fox King looked puzzled.
Before parting, he remembered the customs of the Yaozu that Bai Shuo and he heard, and some things mentioned in the inheritance.This member of the Yao clan has always been straightforward and straightforward, and there are not many intrigues.The kings of all clans are also dedicated to the affairs of the clan, so Lu Heng is not too defensive against the Fox King.Besides, at the worst, there is Shikong. He has advanced cultivation, so it is not a problem to protect himself.
Thinking of this, Lu Heng no longer concealed it, and told Fox King about his current situation.
After listening to Lu Heng, after asking his permission, the Fox King penetrated his consciousness into Lu Heng's body and checked his condition carefully.
"The demon pill has suffered such heavy damage, which may be related to your amnesia." Fox King also couldn't figure it out, "I'm not good at this, you can recruit that to diagnose it for you .”
Seeing that Lu Heng lost his memory, the Fox King reintroduced himself. Her name is Xi, and she is a five thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox.
Afterwards, Lu Heng explained his purpose of coming here.
"Is there a Bizong fox named Min among the fox clan?"
"Min, I haven't seen that bastard for a long time, and I don't know how to hide in that human town to play in the world again." Speaking of Min, Xi felt a little headache.Obviously talented, he has cultivated into a great demon in hundreds of years, but he doesn't care about cultivation.
"Min, he has fallen." Lu Heng finally said this somewhat cruel sentence.There has always been a deep feeling among members of the Yao clan.
"What!" Xi accidentally smashed the teacup in his hand.
"How is it possible! He was murdered by a cultivator? I will definitely kill him! Even their sect will have to pay the price!" Xi was startled and furious, lost the air of a fox king, and cursed repeatedly.
When Xi's mood calmed down a little, Lu Heng had the opportunity to tell the ins and outs of the matter.
listen.Xi was also silent for a while, and finally sighed: "I also know about the matter between Min and that girl back then. When he was almost possessed, I was the one who brought him back to the clan."
"After so many years, I thought he had given up. Unexpectedly, he still did not give up looking for the girl's reincarnation. Being too persistent is not a good thing." Xi murmured again, "The word love..."
Looking at Xi's expression, it seems that some memories have been brought back.After a while, she laughed at herself again, and said, "You keep Min's bones?"
Lu Heng said: "At that time, he said that his life was dead, and he gave me the demon pill, just to bring his bones back to the clan."
"The vitality is gone?" Xi raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid he has lost the will to live. This guy who doesn't live up to expectations, it's amazing to practice from scratch!"
Seeing that the fiery fox king seemed about to get angry again, Lu Heng hurriedly asked, "How will Min's bones be buried?"
"All the bones of the fallen monsters must be buried in the forbidden area. Only the demon king can enter the forbidden area. It happens that you are here, so we will set off for the forbidden area tomorrow." Xi added, "The forbidden area has been passed down for thousands of years. I don't know the mystery, but maybe there will be a chance to solve your current situation."
Now that the next day was scheduled to go to the forbidden area of the Yaozu, Lu Heng thought about leaving, so he decided to take a good look around Qingqiu.
"The scenery of Qingqiu is quite interesting, I'll go out for a walk." Lu Heng said to Shi Kong who was about to practice.
"The poor monk will go with you."
"No, no, I'll just look around and come back." After finishing speaking, before Shi Kong could answer, Lu Heng rushed out of the room.
At sunset on the west mountain, the golden red sunset renders Qingqiu City like a picture scroll.Lu Heng let out a long breath, and he admitted that he had been avoiding Shikong for the past few days.After understanding his own mind, he has been in entanglement, worrying about gains and losses.
Lu Heng could see that Shi Kong treated him differently from others, and this difference sometimes made Lu Heng feel somewhat delusional, thinking that Shi Kong also had intentions for him.But putting this emotional matter on Shi Kong's body made Lu Heng feel that it was a kind of blasphemy.
In his troubles, a banner with the word "wine" broke into Lu Heng's sight.
How to relieve worries, only Du Kang.Lu Heng immediately decided to go in for a drink.
Xu Shicai was approaching dusk, and the tavern was very deserted, so Lu Heng picked a table at random and sat down.
The owner of the tavern is a banshee, graceful and graceful.It's just that face, I seem to have seen it somewhere.
"Young gentleman, we meet again." The proprietress recognized Lu Henglai first.
"You are?" Lu Heng still didn't remember.
"Oh, Mr. Xiao Lang is really a nobleman who forgets things so much, and my family is very sad." The proprietress blinked her eyes, "Worshiping the Moon Festival."
It turned out to be the banshee who gave him flowers that night. Lu Heng was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, too many things happened in the past few days, so I can't remember them for a while."
The banshee smiled indifferently: "Meeting is fate, not to mention you and I meeting twice by chance. My family name is Hongxie."
Although this red robe seemed to behave frivolously, in fact, her eyes were clear and her temperament was bright, so Lu Heng also informed her of her name.According to the practice of the Yaozu, once you know the names and taboos, you are friends.
Hong Mei also changed her tooth-losing way of speaking, and became more open-minded.She brought out two jars of wine from the back kitchen: "You are lucky today, the fox fairy who just came out of the cellar is drunk, my sister invites you to drink."
The two were relatively speechless and drank in silence.That red coat is quite understanding, perhaps seeing Lu Heng's preoccupied appearance.When Lu Heng didn't open his mouth, she didn't bother, but just drank one cup after another with Lu Heng.
When he was slightly drunk, Lu Heng finally couldn't hold back anymore: "How about listening to me talk about troubles."
Hong Mei raised her wine glass and signaled Lu Heng to continue.
Lu Heng slightly mentioned Ti and Shi Kong's acquaintance, but concealed Shi Kong's identity as a monk, and focused on his own entanglement during the period after he discovered his heart.
"Listen to your description, the other party is not unintentional towards you, since the heart is connected, just tell the other party, there is nothing worth worrying about." Hongxie, who has always been straightforward, can't understand.In her opinion, if they are interested in each other, it is simply a matter of hit it off.
"I'm afraid I'll miss his path to practice."
Hongxie suddenly realized: "Your sweetheart, is the master who took you away that day?"
Lu Hengben's face was a little hot because of the alcohol, and instantly became red: "Yes, yes."
Hongxie clapped her palms and laughed loudly: "Not bad, not bad, my sister admires you very much, you are very courageous!"
Speaking of Xingtou, Hongxie patted Lu Heng's shoulder vigorously, with a look of relief on his face.Seeing that she seemed to have fallen into some unknown emotion and couldn't extricate herself, Lu Heng had to wait quietly for her to calm down.
"Have you asked him what he thinks?" Hong Mei poured herself another glass of wine, finally calming down a little.
Lu Heng smiled bitterly: "How dare I ask."
"Then why do you make decisions for him?" Hongxie said bluntly, "If the master has no intentions for you, then there is no saying that he will miss his practice path. If he also has intentions for you, will he miss the practice for you? The road, and only he can make his own choice."
One word awakened the dreamer, and Hong Mei's words pulled Lu Heng out of the mess of the past few days.
After drinking for three rounds, Lu Heng felt a little tipsy.As the night darkened, Lu Heng saw this, bid farewell to Hong Mei, and returned to the inn.
When entering the door, Lu Heng performed a cleansing technique to remove the alcohol smell from his body.
After pushing open the door, Lu Heng saw that Shi Kong was still practicing cross-legged meditation just like when he left.
Lu Heng kept his movements light, for fear of disturbing Shi Kong.He had just sat down cross-legged by the window and was about to start practicing when Shi Kong asked.
"Have you ever taken a bath?"
"Ah?" Lu Heng froze for a moment, not understanding what this meant.
"It's difficult for you to calm your mind, and the complicated breath on your body can easily affect your state of mind." Shi Kong explained.
Lu Heng was very surprised. Although he was not proficient in techniques, he still had confidence in such a simple technique as cleansing.But when Shi Kong said that, Lu Heng lowered his head and sniffed his clothes and cuffs carefully. There was indeed no smell of alcohol.
"It's a daughter." Bai whispered to Yunniang.
"Come here and show me." Yunniang said weakly.
Bai hesitated for a moment, he didn't want to show the child to Yunniang, so as not to increase his sadness.But seeing Yunniang's expectant look, he couldn't bear to reject her after all.
Yunniang hugged the child, her face showed the happiness and love of a first-time mother: "I met your father when the pear blossoms were in full bloom, so your name is Baili, okay?"
She lowered her head and gently kissed the baby's cheek: "I wish you a happy life, safe and worry-free."
Immediately, she saw Yunniang spit out something from her lips and put it into the mouth of the baby in her arms, she didn't swallow the Qianyelian liquid, but secretly hid it under her tongue.
The incident happened so fast that Bai at the side didn't have time to stop her.The baby instinctively swallowed the liquid in her mouth. Visible to the naked eye, her pale face turned rosy, and her crying became louder and louder.
But Yun Niang, as if her wish had come true, her complexion immediately turned gray, it seemed that it was just a flashback.
"Yunniang, why are you so stupid!" Yunniang's passing was a foregone conclusion, Bai was deeply saddened, and knelt beside her, weeping uncontrollably.
Yun Niang smiled softly, and raised her hand to touch her husband's face: "No mother will give up her child. Knowing you is the best thing in my life, but I have to go first... "
Bai firmly grasped Yunniang's hand, shaking his head feebly.
Yunniang kissed the child in her arms again, showing reluctance: "Bai, with you and Xiaoli, I have no regrets in my life, so don't embarrass yourself too much. What my family has done...you are not worth it. They ruined your practice... Also, take good care of Xiaoli..."
After finishing speaking, Yunniang finally exhausted her last strength and closed her beautiful and gentle eyes, but there was still a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.
a few days later.
Bai finally recovered a little from the grief of losing his wife.Only then did Lu Heng learn what happened that day.
Embrace the guilt.
Some time ago, Bai went out to find the auxiliary elixir needed to sacrifice Qianyelian.Yunniang's parents and elder brother suddenly came to the door, claiming that since the matter between Yunniang and Bai was a foregone conclusion, they were willing to admit the marriage between Yunniang and Bai for the sake of their children.
Although Yunniang never regretted leaving her family and elope with Bai back then.But she still misses her family when she wakes up in the middle of the night.
Yun Niang was originally a girl in the boudoir, and she was overjoyed by the initiative of her close relatives.Without too much suspicion, they were left to live in the small courtyard.But I never thought that they did not come with good intentions.
Yunniang's elder brother had contacts with a disciple of a sect, and accidentally learned that a demon clan had obtained a treasure, and saw the appearance of that monster clan in the photo bead.He was pleasantly surprised to find that this Yaozu turned out to be the poor boy who abducted his sister and ran away.
Over the years, Yunniang has been sending letters to her family, hoping to return to her hometown to visit relatives and ease the relationship with her family.However, Yunniang's parents lost face in front of the magistrate because of her escape from marriage, and they always regarded her as a shame for the family.
They still know where Yunniang is now.Her elder brother has always wanted to step into the road of cultivating immortals, but due to his aptitude, he couldn't join any sect.The moment he heard about it, he knew his chance had come.He hit it off with that sect disciple, and after the sect disciple reported to the sect, he promised Yunniang's brother that as long as he could cooperate to get the treasure, he would be accepted as a disciple.
This led to the parting of life and death that night.
That day, Bai searched for medicinal materials and returned to the small courtyard, where he saw his wife with a happy face.Knowing that his wife was reconciled with his family, Bai was also very happy for her, because he also knew that this matter had always been a problem for Yunniang.That night, Bai hosted a banquet for Yunniang's family, but when he was relaxing, Yunniang's elder brother attacked him with a powerful magic weapon.
At the critical moment, it was Yun Niang who blocked the attack with her body.Yunniang, who was seriously injured, moved her fetus, and the fetus in her womb couldn't wait to be born.The small courtyard was also surrounded by cultivators who came from nowhere, and then, it was what Lu Heng saw that day.
"I'm going to take Yunniang's body back to the clan's place for burial. Let's go to the clan's place someday." Bai held a small ball of snow rabbit in his arms, and when he saw Lu Heng looking at the snow rabbit in his arms, he explained again : "The child of the Yaozu will be transformed into its original form one day after its birth."
After finishing speaking, Bai bid farewell to the two, and returned to the small courtyard to deal with the follow-up matters.
Looking at Bai's thin back like a ghost, think about Zhongmin's bones in the storage bag.Lu Heng couldn't help feeling emotional: "Is this how people and monsters fall in love?"
"This has nothing to do with humans or demons. Greed, hatred, and ignorance, the three roots of evil, each leads to bitter fruit." Shi Kong still looked calm, and Bai's encounter did not leave a trace of disturbance in his eyes. .
Lu Heng looked at Shi Kong steadfastly, and couldn't help thinking, what kind of things happened to make his immobile face change color.
"Don't get distracted by these foreign things, it's not good for your practice."
"Practice and practice. Hey, Shikong, do you raise me as your son? I'm hundreds of years older than you, so you can't mess up your seniority." Lu Heng blinked his eyes and made a joke, thinking Sweep away the heavy atmosphere in the air.
"Stop lying."
Lu Heng felt a pain in his forehead, and only then realized that Shi Kong flicked his forehead.This monk has such a serious expression on his face when he flicks his forehead.Lu Heng complained silently in his heart, but he only dared to show a begging expression on his face, and went to practice obediently.
The method of entering the Yaozu tribe is unexpectedly simple.
Bai gave Lu Heng two shriveled fruits: "This is the fruit of the Migu tree. If you eat it, you will not be fascinated by the miasma."
"Isn't that as long as they get this fruit, anyone can enter the Yaozu clan?" Lu Heng asked.
"The fruit of the Migu tree needs to be stimulated by the demonic energy. If the human race is not accompanied by the demonic tribe, it cannot be used." Bai added, "And it needs to be the demonic energy of practicing the righteous way, and those monsters who follow the evil way will not work. of."
Lu Heng nodded, trying to inject monster energy into a fruit.I saw that the shriveled fruit that looked like bark suddenly became plump, emerald green, and looked very appetizing.Lu Heng handed the fruit in his hand to Shi Kong, and did the same to activate another fruit.
The fruit of the Migu tree turned into a clear and sweet liquid in the mouth. After swallowing it, Lu Heng felt that his eyes and ears seemed to be much clearer.
After the three demons ate all the fruits, they crossed the stop stone and walked towards the demon clan.
Turning around a lush forest, the eyes suddenly opened up.Unlike the human race who like to use stone to build cities, the towns of the monster race are built directly among the trees.There are houses built on the ground, and wooden houses hanging on the branches. Lu Heng even saw a door suddenly opened on the ground, and then a thin monster jumped out of it.
Seeing Lu Heng's surprised face, Bai finally smiled for the first time in these days: "That's the Fenjin Rat Clan, and their clan lives underground happily."
After finishing speaking, Bai was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "When I told Yun Niang about the customs of these monster races, she was also very yearning..."
Lu Heng patted Bai on the shoulder, the pain of losing his wife could only be healed slowly by himself.Lu Heng looked at the chubby little snow rabbit in his arms, and thought that with the company of such a cute child, Bai should be able to recover quickly.
"Let's stay in Quelai City for the time being. The territory of the Fox Clan is in Qingqiu. Let me find a friend of the Fox Clan to guide you." Bai cheered up and said.
A group of three stayed in an inn run by the Feather Monster Clan.Feathered monsters like to live on trees. This inn is integrated with a towering ancient tree. The rooms are hung on the thick branches like bird's nests. This peculiar building opened Lu Heng's eyes from the modern society.
Lu Heng and Shi Kong still share the same room. Before, it was because Lu Heng looked young, but now they are used to this way of getting along.Anyway, I was meditating and practicing at night, so I didn't have to worry about not having enough beds.
As night fell, the moonlight was extraordinarily bright tonight.
Lu Heng leaned against the window and looked at the scenery that was completely different from that of the human town.I saw that the monster race below seemed to be rushing in one direction, and in that direction, various lights were dotted with stars, which looked like neon lights in the modern world.
"Eh? It looks like something big is going on." Lu Heng leaned out his upper body curiously and looked around.
"Tonight is the Moon Worship Festival of the Monster Race." Shi Kong grabbed Lu Heng's collar and pulled him back into the room. The room is quite high from the ground. With Lu Heng's half-baked cultivation base, he might fall if he fell down. Nose and face are swollen.
"Worshiping the Moon Festival? I really want to see it. Can I not practice tonight?"
Looking at Lu Heng's eyes that were almost shining, Shi Kong nodded: "The poor monk will go with you."
The Moon Worship Festival is an important annual festival for the Yaozu.The residents of Quelai City gathered in a huge open space by the lake.The bright lake water reflected the bright moon the size of a millstone, and the pure essence of the moon even caused many monster races to unconsciously reveal part of their true colors.
In the center of the open space, a tall platform was erected.The beautiful woman on the stage dragged her long feathers and danced with flying steps, her dancing posture was soft and vigorous with a hint of vigor.Lu Heng, who had never seen this kind of dance before, was a little stunned, but the dancer's expression was a little strange, his eyebrows and eyes were full of affection when he moved, and his whole body exuded endless youthfulness, and the hearts of those who watched the dance were soaring. stand up.
"This is a male demon." Shi Kong said.
What?It turned out to be a male demon!These words stunned Lu Heng like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, but he immediately recovered, and it was normal to think about it. The courtship dance of birds is originally performed by males for females.
Lu Heng quickly accepted the fact that he was watching this dance with pure appreciation anyway.
Let's dance.The surrounding atmosphere suddenly boiled up.
Lu Heng saw a male demon who was as tall as an iron tower beside him, and took out a flower as red as a flame, with an extremely inappropriate shy expression on his ferocious face, and turned towards a man who was about as tall as his chest. The girl goes.
The girl was slender and beautiful, and the two stood together like a beauty and a beast.Lu Heng originally thought that the girl would be frightened, because this tall male demon, even sending flowers, was aggressive as if he was going to kill someone.Unexpectedly, the girl took the flower generously and said, "You idiot, you finally got your wits about you!"
Then the girl grabbed the tall male monster by the collar, forced him to bend down, and kissed him on the lips.The demons around all cheered for the lovers, and the demon of good deeds took out a handful of flower petals and sprinkled them on their heads.
Such situations abound.This is probably the part of the festival where lovers confess to each other, Lu Heng thought so.
A pink flower appeared under Lu Heng's nose, holding the flower with slender fingers, she looked like a beauty at first glance.Lu Heng looked up, and sure enough, he saw a beautiful face.
Seeing Lu Heng looking at him, the beauty gave him a wink without any shyness: "Young gentleman, does my family still suit your wishes?"
"This girl, we are strangers, how can we give such an important token at will..." Lu Heng was embarrassed, and took a step back. He guessed that these flowers with the same shape should be tokens to express his love to his sweetheart on this festival .
The woman was taken aback, then laughed, her posture was extremely unrestrained, and Lu Heng laughed so hard that his face turned red: "Which clan do you belong to? You sneaked out before finishing your clan studies. My sister told you, this pink moon The meaning of seeing flowers is not the same as that of red moon flowers. That red is forever, and this pink is dewy love."
Then the woman blinked again: "Xiao Langjun is very suitable for me, how about my sister taking you to adulthood?"
Lu Heng was about to refuse, but he felt someone gently pinch the back of his neck, and a gentle but firm force pushed him back.Lu Heng couldn't help but took two steps back and bumped into the familiar chest.
"He's still young." Shi Kong saluted the woman and took Lu Heng away from the place of right and wrong.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Lu Heng felt a weird sense of guilt.But Shi Kong led Lu Heng to the high platform with a normal expression: "I heard that this last part of the Moon Worship Festival will be of great benefit to the cultivation of the monster race. Just wait here."
As the night darkened, the bright moon rose above everyone's heads.The interaction of those lovers seemed to have come to an end, and the noisy atmosphere gradually quieted down. Everyone looked at the direction of the high platform devoutly, as if waiting for an important ceremony.
The male demon who had just danced on the stage came up again, holding a bud-shaped magic weapon in his hand.After reciting a mysterious incantation, the male demon raised the magic weapon to the bright moon: "Please the moon god bless us."
Immediately, the flower buds bloomed layer by layer, and a small crescent moon rose out of it, getting higher and higher until it reached the top of everyone's heads.I saw the crescent moon whizzing around in the air a few times, and then suddenly flew towards Lu Heng and Shi Kong.
Before Lu Heng could react, the crescent moon split into two, sinking into his body and Shi Kong's respectively.Strange to say, after the new moon entered, Lu Heng didn't feel anything strange.Xinyue has already chosen someone, and the monster races around burst into cheers, rushing towards them enthusiastically.
On the high platform, the male demon shouted excitedly: "Bless the loving couple, the moon god will always protect you!"
Loving lover?What happened, Lu Heng was shocked.He saw that the Yaozu who surrounded him seemed to want to welcome him and Shi Kong onto the stage, but before he could think about it, Lu Heng grabbed Shi Kong and rushed out of the crowd.
Lu Heng flung away those overly enthusiastic monsters with twists and turns. After finally returning to the inn, Lu Heng found that he was still holding Shi Kong's hand tightly.
"You go back first, I have something to ask Bai." Lu Heng shook off Shi Kong's hand, and rushed into Bai's room without looking back.
Bai was guiding Baili to absorb the moonlight by the window, and was startled by Lu Heng's voice barging in: "What's wrong? So panicked?"
Lu Heng sat down at the table and poured a full glass of water down, but his mouth was still dry.After drinking three cups in a row, he felt that the flushed face was much better, so he explained what happened just now in detail.
"What kind of weird thing is that new moon? It's so strange. At the beginning, I didn't feel anything. After a while, I felt that my whole body was going to burn. It couldn't be some powerful evil method Right?" Lu Heng had some lingering fears.
Bai understood something in an instant, but he didn't know whether he should point it out or not.Master Shikong seemed to be pure-hearted and ascetic, and he was a monk.Bai, who realized the pain of love, didn't want Lu Heng to follow in his footsteps.
Bai thought for a while, and said: "That's the blessing of the moon god, not some evil method. Every year on the moon worship festival, there will be two... people who are close to each other will receive the blessing of the moon god. From now on, you two will practice together When it is time, it will get twice the result with half the effort.”
After receiving Bai's answer, Lu Heng finally felt at ease, and then went back to his room in peace.Shi Kong was already practicing meditation, and Lu Heng honestly changed back to his original shape, coiled on Shi Kong's shoulder.
It's just that Lu Heng is not stupid. The more he thinks about what happened just now, the more wrong it becomes. The male monster said clearly that he is a lover with deep affection.Reminiscent of Bai's weird expression and his subsequent ambiguity, Lu Heng figured out some key points.The blessing of the moon god is probably given to those who love each other.
love?Lu Heng couldn't help but think of the scenes he got along with Shi Kong, and he found that he really felt a little different about Shi Kong.
Shi Kong's unintentional approach always makes him a little nervous.And in the month when Shi Kong left, no matter what he did, he always thought about what would happen if Shi Kong was there.He even remembered the uncomfortable feeling in his heart that was ignored by him when he saw the scene where Princess Linyang seduced Shi Kong in Prince Gong's Mansion.
Lu Heng couldn't help laughing, he was so stupid, he had fallen in love with Shi Kong a long time ago, but he didn't realize it, and he always thought that his dependence on him was just a fledgling plot.
Just thinking of Shi Kong's never-ending appearance, Lu Heng became depressed again.It was the first time he liked someone, and this relationship seemed to be dying.Shikong is a Buddhist practitioner, so how could I let him break the precepts for his own selfish desires.
"Your mind is quite complicated, but what's bothering you?" Shi Kong asked suddenly.
Lu Heng, who was immersed in his own mood, was taken aback.Then he climbed down from Shikong's shoulder listlessly, and turned into a human form at the side: "I feel that with my current cultivation level, I can practice alone. During the time you returned to the sect, nothing happened to me."
Shi Kong looked at Lu Heng in silence for a moment, until he felt a little flustered, and then said, "That's fine, the way of cultivation depends on oneself after all."
Hearing Shi Kong's words, Lu Heng felt even more depressed.For the first time, he had dull thoughts about cultivation.
"You're restless, it's better to rest tonight." Shi Kong said again.
Lu Heng nodded, and went to bed with heavy steps.It was destined to not sleep well that night, Lu Heng only felt that he was dreaming all night, strange and bizarre, and a large amount of information seemed to squeeze his brain out.
After finally breaking free from the mess, Lu Heng realized that it was already noon.This is the first time he has been so slack since he embarked on the road of cultivation.Strangely, Shi Kong, who has always been quite strict in practice, did not urge him to get up.
The room was empty.Lu Heng sniffled and smelled the residual sanskrit sandalwood in the room.Fanyin sandalwood is not a special thing, only the eminent monks of Fanyin Temple can refine it, and the output is very small.This sandalwood is used during cultivation, which can increase the chance of entering enlightenment.
Did Shi Kong use Sanskrit sandalwood to practice last night?No, Shi Kong said that he never used external objects in his cultivation.Thinking of another function of sanskrit sandalwood, Lu Heng thought again.Could it be to help me sleep and drive away my nightmares? Impossible, this hard-to-find Sanskrit sandalwood is used to help me sleep. If I tell it, I am afraid that I will be chased and killed by those cultivators.
Lu Heng couldn't figure out the joints, and he didn't bother to think about it.Facing the mirror, he looked at his long hair that was messed up because of tossing and turning last night, and fell into distress.
The appearance of Bai saved Lu Heng.
Seeing that Lu Heng looked like he had seen a savior, Bai had no choice but to take a cushion and put it on the square table, put the white pear in his arms on it, then picked up the comb in Lu Heng's hand, and prepared to comb for him .
Before it started, Shi Kong opened the door and came in. His eyes fell on Bai's hand holding the comb, and he paused for a few seconds.
"Today, I won't bother you." Lu Heng stared at the mirror, not daring to look at Shi Kong, for fear that he would see something wrong with him.
Shi Kong didn't say much, just walked to the square table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea.Seeing Shi Kong's appearance, Lu Heng felt a little depressed again.He was really fed up with his appearance of worrying about gains and losses. Why is this emotional matter so troublesome, and his mood is completely out of control.
The comb fell gently on Lu Heng's hair, and Bai was about to start when the little snow rabbit on the square table snorted.Bai looked back, and saw that Bai Li, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up for some reason, trying to find a familiar smell.
Bai Xin wondered, his daughter had always been a deep sleeper, she hadn't slept for two hours, and it was difficult to wake up even in a noisy place.Today, I just fell asleep not long ago, why did I wake up.But Bai didn't care about thinking too much, and said sorry to Lu Heng, then put down the comb and walked over to coax his child.
Looking at his messy hair in the mirror, Lu Heng could only turn to Shi Kong for help: "Shi Kong, I still have to trouble you."
Shi Kong put down the teacup in his hand, and picked up the comb as he did every morning.It's just that Lu Heng felt that the force of falling regularly, not only fell on his hair, but also seemed to fall into his heart.
After Lu Heng finished combing his hair, Bai also coaxed the child.This is the time to talk about business.
Bai said: "My friend from the fox tribe sent a message, saying that today I just want to visit the Hui tribe."
"What about you?" Seeing Bai, Lu Heng seemed to want to say goodbye.
"I want to take Yunniang back to the Rabbit Clan, and then I will stay in the Clan and concentrate on raising Xiaoli. You can come to the Clan to find me after the matter is over."
no party last forever.
After introducing friends from the fox tribe to Lu Heng and the two, Bai embarked on a journey to the clan land alone.The passing wind swept by, and the white clothes were blown away.It was only then that Lu Heng suddenly realized that Bai was already in shape, and the clothes that were supposed to fit him now looked extremely loose on him.
Thinking back to the youthful appearance when he saw Bai, Lu Heng couldn't help but feel lost.The word love is a blessing or a curse for humans and monsters.
"It's time for me to leave."
Lu Heng heard what Shi Kong said, and then felt his hand fall into the warm palm.
"I'm not a child anymore, no, don't hold me." Lu Heng pulled his hand out, feeling a little hot on his face.
Qingqiu Mountain.Headed by the Nine-Tailed Fox King, it is the place where all the fox clans live.Bai's friends of the fox clan introduced them to the elders of the fox clan.
After hearing what Lu Heng said about Min, the elder of the clan frowned, and his expression was quite solemn: "This Min is the big monster in the clan, and he is too old to make decisions about his affairs. He has to wait for the Fox King to leave the customs."
"When will the Fox King leave the customs?" Lu Heng asked.
"It should be in these few days. You two will stay in our clan for a few days. When the Fox King leaves the customs, I will report the matter immediately." The clan elder said.
Lu Heng and the two had no choice but to stay in Qingqiu for the time being.The folk customs in Qingqiu have always been lively and unrestrained, and the fox girls who come and go are dressed very coolly.Although Lu Heng comes from a modern society, he has almost gotten used to the layers of tightly wrapped clothes in this world.Suddenly seeing this dress similar to that in the midsummer of modern society, he couldn't help but dare not look directly.
Lu Heng couldn't help but glanced at Shi Kong beside him, and looked forward, without avoiding his gaze at all.
"Don't monks pay attention to seeing no evil?" Lu Heng tugged Shi Kong's monk robe angrily.
Shi Kong turned his head sideways, looking a bit puzzled.Seeing this, Lu Heng made a subtle gesture and compared those beautiful and unrestrained fox girls.
"Your face is dry, it's just a superficial appearance." Shi Kong said, "Your Dao heart is not stable, and you need to step up tempering."
Lu Heng was choked to death by Shi Kong's words, so he had to imitate Shi Kong's unflappable attitude, and regarded those fox girls as grass and clouds on the side of the road.After a while, I found that it really had some effect, and I didn't move my mind, so I wouldn't be affected by any foreign objects.
For the two of them who devoted themselves to practicing, the days passed in a flash.
The Fox King leaves the customs.
Ruyue, the clan elder, introduced the Nine-Tailed Fox King to Lu Heng and the two of them.The place where the fox king practiced is at the source of Yingshui.The valley is rich in water veins. Under the sunlight, the water vapor rises into the air, and it looks like clouds and mist, which is quite like a fairyland.
In this ink-stained valley, a woman in a bright red dress is about to come out of the cave.This fox king's eyebrows are thicker than those of ordinary women, with a pair of red phoenix eyes, which look like lacquer spots, there is no trace of charm, and the whole body is full of heroism.
Clan veterans Lu Heng and two introduced to the Fox King, the Fox King listened, and waved the clan elders to retreat.
As soon as the elder of the clan retreated from the valley, the proud fox king in front of him saluted Lu Heng respectfully: "The king is here in Qingqiu this time, but something important happened?"
It's no wonder that the Fox King asks this question. The current king of the Yaozu is a complete cultivator, and has always been a dragon who sees the head and sees the end.If there is no major event, it will never happen. This has also led to the fact that among the monster clan, except for the kings of various clans, almost no monster has ever seen the face of the monster king.
This room, Lu Heng was so startled by the Fox King's gift that he almost lost his mind.king?She is calling me, what is the situation?Lu Heng couldn't help grabbing Shi Kong's arm, feeling a little panicked.
"Let's listen to what she has to say." Shi Kong said via voice transmission.
Seeing that Lu Heng didn't make a sound for a long time, the fox king raised his head, only to realize that there seemed to be something wrong with the demon king in front of him.
"My lord, what's wrong with your cultivation? How could you have such a young man's figure?" Fox King looked puzzled.
Before parting, he remembered the customs of the Yaozu that Bai Shuo and he heard, and some things mentioned in the inheritance.This member of the Yao clan has always been straightforward and straightforward, and there are not many intrigues.The kings of all clans are also dedicated to the affairs of the clan, so Lu Heng is not too defensive against the Fox King.Besides, at the worst, there is Shikong. He has advanced cultivation, so it is not a problem to protect himself.
Thinking of this, Lu Heng no longer concealed it, and told Fox King about his current situation.
After listening to Lu Heng, after asking his permission, the Fox King penetrated his consciousness into Lu Heng's body and checked his condition carefully.
"The demon pill has suffered such heavy damage, which may be related to your amnesia." Fox King also couldn't figure it out, "I'm not good at this, you can recruit that to diagnose it for you .”
Seeing that Lu Heng lost his memory, the Fox King reintroduced himself. Her name is Xi, and she is a five thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox.
Afterwards, Lu Heng explained his purpose of coming here.
"Is there a Bizong fox named Min among the fox clan?"
"Min, I haven't seen that bastard for a long time, and I don't know how to hide in that human town to play in the world again." Speaking of Min, Xi felt a little headache.Obviously talented, he has cultivated into a great demon in hundreds of years, but he doesn't care about cultivation.
"Min, he has fallen." Lu Heng finally said this somewhat cruel sentence.There has always been a deep feeling among members of the Yao clan.
"What!" Xi accidentally smashed the teacup in his hand.
"How is it possible! He was murdered by a cultivator? I will definitely kill him! Even their sect will have to pay the price!" Xi was startled and furious, lost the air of a fox king, and cursed repeatedly.
When Xi's mood calmed down a little, Lu Heng had the opportunity to tell the ins and outs of the matter.
listen.Xi was also silent for a while, and finally sighed: "I also know about the matter between Min and that girl back then. When he was almost possessed, I was the one who brought him back to the clan."
"After so many years, I thought he had given up. Unexpectedly, he still did not give up looking for the girl's reincarnation. Being too persistent is not a good thing." Xi murmured again, "The word love..."
Looking at Xi's expression, it seems that some memories have been brought back.After a while, she laughed at herself again, and said, "You keep Min's bones?"
Lu Heng said: "At that time, he said that his life was dead, and he gave me the demon pill, just to bring his bones back to the clan."
"The vitality is gone?" Xi raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid he has lost the will to live. This guy who doesn't live up to expectations, it's amazing to practice from scratch!"
Seeing that the fiery fox king seemed about to get angry again, Lu Heng hurriedly asked, "How will Min's bones be buried?"
"All the bones of the fallen monsters must be buried in the forbidden area. Only the demon king can enter the forbidden area. It happens that you are here, so we will set off for the forbidden area tomorrow." Xi added, "The forbidden area has been passed down for thousands of years. I don't know the mystery, but maybe there will be a chance to solve your current situation."
Now that the next day was scheduled to go to the forbidden area of the Yaozu, Lu Heng thought about leaving, so he decided to take a good look around Qingqiu.
"The scenery of Qingqiu is quite interesting, I'll go out for a walk." Lu Heng said to Shi Kong who was about to practice.
"The poor monk will go with you."
"No, no, I'll just look around and come back." After finishing speaking, before Shi Kong could answer, Lu Heng rushed out of the room.
At sunset on the west mountain, the golden red sunset renders Qingqiu City like a picture scroll.Lu Heng let out a long breath, and he admitted that he had been avoiding Shikong for the past few days.After understanding his own mind, he has been in entanglement, worrying about gains and losses.
Lu Heng could see that Shi Kong treated him differently from others, and this difference sometimes made Lu Heng feel somewhat delusional, thinking that Shi Kong also had intentions for him.But putting this emotional matter on Shi Kong's body made Lu Heng feel that it was a kind of blasphemy.
In his troubles, a banner with the word "wine" broke into Lu Heng's sight.
How to relieve worries, only Du Kang.Lu Heng immediately decided to go in for a drink.
Xu Shicai was approaching dusk, and the tavern was very deserted, so Lu Heng picked a table at random and sat down.
The owner of the tavern is a banshee, graceful and graceful.It's just that face, I seem to have seen it somewhere.
"Young gentleman, we meet again." The proprietress recognized Lu Henglai first.
"You are?" Lu Heng still didn't remember.
"Oh, Mr. Xiao Lang is really a nobleman who forgets things so much, and my family is very sad." The proprietress blinked her eyes, "Worshiping the Moon Festival."
It turned out to be the banshee who gave him flowers that night. Lu Heng was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, too many things happened in the past few days, so I can't remember them for a while."
The banshee smiled indifferently: "Meeting is fate, not to mention you and I meeting twice by chance. My family name is Hongxie."
Although this red robe seemed to behave frivolously, in fact, her eyes were clear and her temperament was bright, so Lu Heng also informed her of her name.According to the practice of the Yaozu, once you know the names and taboos, you are friends.
Hong Mei also changed her tooth-losing way of speaking, and became more open-minded.She brought out two jars of wine from the back kitchen: "You are lucky today, the fox fairy who just came out of the cellar is drunk, my sister invites you to drink."
The two were relatively speechless and drank in silence.That red coat is quite understanding, perhaps seeing Lu Heng's preoccupied appearance.When Lu Heng didn't open his mouth, she didn't bother, but just drank one cup after another with Lu Heng.
When he was slightly drunk, Lu Heng finally couldn't hold back anymore: "How about listening to me talk about troubles."
Hong Mei raised her wine glass and signaled Lu Heng to continue.
Lu Heng slightly mentioned Ti and Shi Kong's acquaintance, but concealed Shi Kong's identity as a monk, and focused on his own entanglement during the period after he discovered his heart.
"Listen to your description, the other party is not unintentional towards you, since the heart is connected, just tell the other party, there is nothing worth worrying about." Hongxie, who has always been straightforward, can't understand.In her opinion, if they are interested in each other, it is simply a matter of hit it off.
"I'm afraid I'll miss his path to practice."
Hongxie suddenly realized: "Your sweetheart, is the master who took you away that day?"
Lu Hengben's face was a little hot because of the alcohol, and instantly became red: "Yes, yes."
Hongxie clapped her palms and laughed loudly: "Not bad, not bad, my sister admires you very much, you are very courageous!"
Speaking of Xingtou, Hongxie patted Lu Heng's shoulder vigorously, with a look of relief on his face.Seeing that she seemed to have fallen into some unknown emotion and couldn't extricate herself, Lu Heng had to wait quietly for her to calm down.
"Have you asked him what he thinks?" Hong Mei poured herself another glass of wine, finally calming down a little.
Lu Heng smiled bitterly: "How dare I ask."
"Then why do you make decisions for him?" Hongxie said bluntly, "If the master has no intentions for you, then there is no saying that he will miss his practice path. If he also has intentions for you, will he miss the practice for you? The road, and only he can make his own choice."
One word awakened the dreamer, and Hong Mei's words pulled Lu Heng out of the mess of the past few days.
After drinking for three rounds, Lu Heng felt a little tipsy.As the night darkened, Lu Heng saw this, bid farewell to Hong Mei, and returned to the inn.
When entering the door, Lu Heng performed a cleansing technique to remove the alcohol smell from his body.
After pushing open the door, Lu Heng saw that Shi Kong was still practicing cross-legged meditation just like when he left.
Lu Heng kept his movements light, for fear of disturbing Shi Kong.He had just sat down cross-legged by the window and was about to start practicing when Shi Kong asked.
"Have you ever taken a bath?"
"Ah?" Lu Heng froze for a moment, not understanding what this meant.
"It's difficult for you to calm your mind, and the complicated breath on your body can easily affect your state of mind." Shi Kong explained.
Lu Heng was very surprised. Although he was not proficient in techniques, he still had confidence in such a simple technique as cleansing.But when Shi Kong said that, Lu Heng lowered his head and sniffed his clothes and cuffs carefully. There was indeed no smell of alcohol.
