Mortal practice

"Sister Yuelan!" A clear, crying child's voice came from behind.

Su Jue turned his head to look at the door. A thin girl about seven or eight years old looked anxious, with tears in the corners of her eyes. She rushed into the inn while continuing to shout: "Sister Yuelan!"

Su Jue was taken aback. After the little girl entered, there was no one else behind her.In other words, the strong resonance just now came from this little girl.

Could it be that Su Bai's remaining soul is attached to this little girl?

Before Su Jue could confirm this, the sense of resonance in his body suddenly disappeared like a flash in the pan.

"Ayu, what's the matter?" Yuelan looked down at the girl and asked in surprise.

Su Bai also stared closely at this little girl called Ayu, he believed that the momentary induction just now would not be wrong, even if this girl was not Su Bai's reincarnation, she must have some connection with Su Bai.

"Daddy still wants to send Xiaobai away, and send it to the city lord's house to exchange money... I said no, but Daddy still scolded me...but I don't want Xiaobai to leave..." Ayu burst into tears as she spoke.

Su Jue's eyes changed slightly when he heard the word "Xiaobai" from the other party's mouth.

"Who is Xiaobai?" He suddenly asked.

The little girl was startled when she heard a strange voice at first, and then she noticed Su Jue who had been standing silently at the same place, and timidly hid behind Yue Lan, without answering the other party's question.

Yuelan was surprised, and wondered why the elder was suddenly interested in such a thing, but she still replied: "It's a seriously ill young fox raised by Ayu's family, it seems that it was in Yunxiu Mountain a few years ago..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by Ayu: "I'm not seriously ill! Xiaobai is almost on the mend, and it won't cost the family much money at all! But Dad still wants to sell it to the owner of the city for money. The son of the owner of the city He is a big villain, he will definitely not treat Xiaobai well... I heard that he even put up a list to beg Xuehu before, saying that eating it can increase his cultivation!"

"Ayu!" Yue Lan was taken aback: "Keep your voice down, what is the son of the city lord? You should call him the young city lord! If someone hears this, you and I will die."

"The Xiaobai you are talking about is a snow fox?" Su Jue asked.

Ayu hesitated for a moment, but shook her head: "Xiaobai is just an ordinary fox, what kind of snow fox!"

"Did you distinguish Qingxue foxes from ordinary foxes?" Su Jue squinted his eyes.

Ayu flinched, and then shouted unwillingly: "It's just an ordinary fox! I say it is! Even if you eat it, it won't improve your cultivation at all!"

Facing Ayu's wary eyes, Su made up his mind to understand something, and his eyes became a little complicated.

"Ayu, I know you and Xiaobai are inseparable, but your father did this for your own good." Yuelan knelt down, put her hand on Ayu's shoulder lightly, and said hesitantly, "If you don't do this, where will your family be?" How about the money to take you to move and treat your illness?"

Ayu was stunned, but the tears flowed even more: "I don't want to cure the disease, I want Xiaobai! I can't die, before when I got sick, Xiaobai was with me, but now I want to watch it die... If Xiaobai is sent to the City Lord's Mansion, he will definitely die!"

As soon as the little girl came in, Su Jue felt an indistinct coldness flowing through her body. It seemed that it was a cold syndrome that had dragged on for many years. Although the relatively warm weather like these days is not good for her, It would be too much of a hindrance, but once the weather turns cold, the onset of illness may be unbearable.

This kind of illness is nothing to monks, but to ordinary people, if things go on like this, this little girl will not live to be ten years old.

But Su Jue didn't intend to intervene at that time, everyone has his own destiny, this girl is not related to him, why bother?

What's more, if the other party's family has paid attention to her illness, it is impossible not to know that she suffers from cold and is not suitable for living in a place that is too cold, but they have never moved away from the vicinity of Yunxiu Mountain. Since they themselves do not cherish her life, Su Jue even more I don't feel the need to care about it.

But everything has a cause and effect, Su Jue heard the conversation between the two just now, and then he guessed the whole thing in his heart.

He felt that he probably understood the reason why the strong resonance disappeared in a flash.

"Take me to your house." He looked at the little girl and suddenly said something softly.

Ayu didn't know the indifferent fairy-like person in front of him, but he felt that the other person was a big shot, so he flinched and didn't speak.

"Prince Immortal, what are you going to Ayu's house for? Ayu's family is ordinary, only her father..." Seeing Ayu's appearance, Yue Lan felt a little uneasy about Su Jue's sudden decision.

"I want to meet that fox." Su Jue gave an explanation for the first time.

The two women looked at each other, and Ayu looked at Su Jue with even more vigilance: "What do you see Xiaobai doing?"

Feeling that Ayu spoke disrespectfully to the immortal, Yue Lan had no time to stop her, so she could only pull Ayu and carefully look at Su Jue, but there was no anger on the other side, and she still said calmly: "I'm missing a Spiritual pet, if it fits my eyes, I want to buy it."

Soul pet?

Yue Lan subconsciously looked at the elegant and fairy-like white gazelle behind Su Jue.

Su Jue saw the meaning of the opponent's actions, raised his eyebrows and said: "The mount belongs to the mount, and the soul pet belongs to the soul pet."

"You...why do you want to find my Xiaobai? If you also want to use it to increase your cultivation, then you should give up on it!" Ayu still didn't quite believe Su Jue's explanation, and encouraged said courageously.

Su Jue squinted his eyes, a little impatient: "There are thousands of ways to increase your cultivation. Compared with my methods, feeding on snow foxes is the most useless one. Why should I bother? I can guarantee that, Absolutely no harm to it."

"How do I know if what you said is true..." Ayu muttered in a low voice, but for some reason, she believed most of it in her heart.

"Take me there, or wait here for your father to send it to the City Lord's Mansion?" Su Jue looked at the little girl in front of him expressionlessly, with a hint of mockery in his tone, as if he was sure that the other party would not choose the latter.

These words really worked. Compared with the young city lord who had done many bad things and had a hideous face, the fairy elder in front of him was obviously more reliable.

Although Ayu is young, but due to the relatively precocious family environment, after living in Qiyang City for so many years, she can still distinguish right from wrong and good from evil. She can see that although the person in front of her speaks indifferently and even a bit toughly, she is not serious about herself. malicious.

She hesitated for a while, but decided to take a gamble, and said, "Well... I'll take you there."

After she finished speaking, she led Su Jue out of the inn, crossed several roads and walked towards a hut closer to the city gate. On the way, some people saw Ayu and greeted her with smiles, but then they saw Su Jue again with a look on their faces. With a flash of fear, he took a long way to escape.

Su made up his mind and frowned slightly, only then did he realize that the people in this city seemed to have a feeling of fear and rejection towards practitioners.

After thinking about it for a while, it becomes clear that the city lord and his son here are probably also practitioners, and they often domineering in the city on weekdays.

He recalled that in the illusion, the Qiyang City where he and Su Bai returned, the situation didn't seem to be much different from now.

It's just that the Liang family is missing.

Not long after, the two arrived at the hut, and Ayu walked in first. Before Su Jue had time to enter the room, he heard a crisp applause, accompanied by a burst of anger: "You damn girl, where are you going?" Going into the wild? Do you want to freeze yourself to death outside and let me collect the body for you?"

The slap was not heavy, and Ayu knew that the other party was just worried about him, but the tears still couldn't stop streaming down: "I'm sorry, Dad..."

After the man slapped her, after hearing her daughter's aggrieved apology, her anger subsided a lot, and she continued, "Hurry up and go back to the house and stay by the stove."

Ayu didn't move, and looked at his Orion father cautiously and asked, "Father, can you not send Xiaobai to the City Lord's Mansion?"

"It's that fox again!" The other party frowned tightly, and said angrily, "You shouldn't have picked it up in the first place, and you still sleep with a sick and unlucky thing all day long, and you can't cure it even if it hurts." I'm so sick, what's the use of coming?"

"No, it has been with me all the time. It helped me fight the cold. Without it, I would have died a long time ago!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are still resistant to cold, if you are really so capable, you will be cured sooner."

Only knowing that her daughter said this was just an excuse to prevent him from selling Xiaobai, Orion said coldly, and then shattered all of Ayu's hopes with another sentence: "Besides, I have sent it to the City Lord's Mansion just now, what do you say? It doesn't make sense anymore."

"Where is the City Lord's Mansion?" A strange and cold voice suddenly came.

It was only then that Orion noticed that the young man who had just followed him in was dressed in white and had a dusty temperament, but his expression was extremely cold.

After living for so many years, he certainly knew that the person who came was a man of cultivation that he couldn't afford to mess with. He was startled, and when he met the cold gaze of the other party, he thought that the other party was displeased because of his ignorance. Seeing Ayu knelt down: "The Immortal Elder forgives the sin, the Immortal Elder forgives the sin, the little one just didn't notice the Immortal Elder."

"Where is the City Lord's Mansion?" Su Jue asked again.

Orion hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not far, just a few miles away, the largest and most conspicuous house in the east."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a cold wind blowing in front of him, and the place where Su Jue was standing was empty in the blink of an eye.

He was still stunned by the miracle just happened in front of him, when his daughter took the opportunity to run out at a fast speed, he hurriedly said angrily: "Girl! Come back to me!"

The other party was most afraid of his loud voice, usually he only yelled to keep him obedient, but at this time he seemed to ignore him and ran out at a faster speed, which was a hint of anger.

Orion could guess where the other party was going, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran over.

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion is guarded by two mortals who have no cultivation base. The two of them looked straight ahead and yawned occasionally. Something flashed in front of my eyes, accompanied by a gust of wind, but everything returned to normal in the next second.

The two only thought they were dazzled and didn't care too much.

It didn't take long for Orion and Ayu to arrive, and they stopped him outside with a stern shout.

While pulling his daughter back, Orion repeatedly apologized to the gatekeeper: "Forgive me, the two officials. The little girl was confused for a while, and was confused for a while."

The young city lord inside is thinking about what tricks to use to deal with this newly bought toy. He has tried all the new ways of playing before, so this time he is a little out of ideas. He squinted at the guard next to him: "Do you have any ideas?" I think this fox is a rare snow fox, but its sickly appearance is really unbearable to tease. If I really eat it, maybe it will infect me with some disease... Now I feel that I just gave it to that fox. The guy has a lot of money, and I will find someone to get the money back later, if he doesn't give it back, I'll just kill him."

The guard first responded, and then glanced at the white-haired fox who was lying curled up in a cage not far away, breathing more air than exhaling, and felt that the other party's previous question was a bit difficult to solve.

"Why don't you go and bring in that snow wolf you hunted a few days ago and lock it in? It's probably a good show for a sick wolf to meet a sick fox." The young city lord's eyes lit up.

The guards took the order to leave, and the young city lord leaned back on the chair behind him leisurely, looked at the little fox with gray eyes not far away, and said with a smile: "Don't blame me, the weak and the strong prey on the strong in this world, that's all."

"Then I'll kill you now, so you shouldn't complain." Just as the young city lord finished speaking, he heard such a voice behind him.

Being able to enter the city lord's mansion without a sound, without even noticing it behind his back, this level of cultivation is really terrifying, he immediately felt something was wrong, but before he had time to make a seal in his hand, he suddenly felt a pang on his neck. Liang, actually just fell down with his eyes wide open like this.

Because it was so sudden, all he had left in his heart before he died was disbelief.

------

Ayu stood outside the gate of the city lord's mansion and refused to leave no matter what, Orion wanted to reprimand him as usual and take him away forcibly, but when he touched the stubborn and tearful eyes of the other party, he couldn't help but couldn't bear it.

"Ayu, there is no money in the family. It is not enough to rely on what your father earned from hunting outside to make a living. We are not like those rich children who have everything from birth. We are just mortals. In order to get something, we have to give up Something." He had no choice but to persuade his daughter gently.

"It's really Xiaobai who saved me..." Ayu wiped away her tears: "Before, when I held it at night, its body seemed to be getting hot, and I really didn't feel cold anymore, but Daddy, you just Do not believe!"

"Even if what you said is true, it's only for a while," Orion said, "Your body is still getting worse day by day, don't you think so? The family still has to provide for the ancestors to eat and drink, and even find the doctor's money for you." It's all gone!"

Ayu was silent, she knew that she really couldn't refute this sentence.

Suddenly, she was taken aback and looked straight ahead.

Seeing her suddenly bright eyes, Orion followed her gaze suspiciously, and saw that the young immortal who had asked him the direction of the City Lord's Mansion had already walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, and no one was guarding the gate of the City Lord's Mansion— —They didn't know when, they seemed to have received an emergency order and rushed into the mansion, and ran towards the place where the young city lord was.

Su Jue held a little fox curled up quietly in his arms.

"Xiaobai!" Ayu ran up quickly, and Orion stood there stunned and unable to speak.

Ayu wanted to reach out to take the snow fox in Su Jue's arms, but the other party avoided it without a trace. Su Jue's eyes were cold, and he even looked at the two with a trace of anger.

A sudden cold killing intent made them stand there in fear, at a loss for what to do.

"In the past few years, what you mean by taking care of it is taking care of it like it is now?"

When he hugged the little fox in the city lord's mansion, the resonance in the depths of his soul resounded very naturally, and the spiritual power uncontrollably converged and merged in the opponent's body and his own.At that time, Su Jue felt that something in his mind was being pulled away, and he knew that it was probably the other party's mind, so the other party must be the Xuehu he was looking for.

But then the touch in his hand gave him a chill in his heart.

He had no doubts that even if the Orion hadn't sent it to the City Lord's Mansion, with its scrawny body and the little spiritual power left in its body, it would have truly lost its soul within a year.

This fact had to scare him.
