a school of fox talk

The tide beat against the shore, and the cloud they were walking on finally stopped on the shore.

Bai Ze came down with a white scorpion in his arms, and from a distance, he saw a "hill" swimming slowly on the misty sea. On the top of the hill sat an old woman with a walking stick. She was an immortal on Penglai Island. And behind her is a coiled snake.

Suzaku immediately called out, "Xuanwu!"

The head of the snake on the hill shook, and the white tiger followed suit.

According to legend, the mythical beast Xuanwu was born from the habitat of turtles and snakes, so it has two bodies, both of which can move freely.

In front of the "hill", Xuanwu's other head also raised its head, and when it reached the shore, it stretched out its four legs and thrust it into the sand, and then stopped, letting the waves beat against its thick shell.

The old woman sitting on the tortoise shell stood up and saluted respectfully: "Immortal Suzaku, Immortal Baihu, Immortal Bai Ze." After she finished speaking, she looked at the person in Bai Ze's arms, "Still Yes... this is?"

Bai Ze shook his head at her, and the old woman didn't ask any more questions, and went up to Xuanwu's back to meet them.

Xuanwu's snake head went around to Bai Ze, wanting to see what the person he was holding looked like.

Bai Ze put Bai Po down and let him rest on his lap, Bai Po moved, as if he was about to wake up.

But at this time, Xuanwu had already kicked the water, and swam back to the foggy distant sea again.

Penglai Xiandao can move, floating along a certain trajectory in a illusory manner. Residents who do not belong to the island may not be able to find it even if they turn the whole sea upside down.

However, Xuanwu has lived here for a long time, and knowing the way is as simple as eating for it. While paddling, it whispered to Bai Ze with its snake head: "Shangxian Bai Ze, who is he? The smell is so strange...um...it smells like Lord Qinglong."

Of course he was referring to the white scorpion.

Bai Ze smiled helplessly, it was because Yin Hanting's dragon ball was in Xiaocao's body, but he didn't explain much, but said: "Xiaocao is a little fox, he is sick, you need to take care of him in the future. "

The snake head nodded, and after a while, it couldn't bear the loneliness and went to talk to Suzaku and Baihu.

When Bai Po woke up, they were still floating on the sea, the fog cleared, and he could see the blue water all around him, and he could not see the shadow of Penglai Xiandao. He first returned to his senses for a while, then looked around Sitting next to him was Bai Ze and the old woman with her eyes closed.

Bai Ze noticed that he was awake, patted his hand and asked, "Is Xiaocao thirsty?"

Bai Po sat up, didn't find Yin Hanting, remembered being carried away before falling asleep, his eyes turned red again.

Bai Ze knew that he was going to cry, panicked, and hurriedly searched for the bag of caramel that was left before, but the person leaning on him just sobbed, rubbed his eyes, and said with some sobs: "I To drink water."

Bai Hu leaned over to dislike him and said, "Aren't you crying anymore?"

Bai Po's tears came to his eyes quickly.

"Go, let's play." Bai Ze, with his head as big as a bucket, drove away the unhelpful Bai Hu, took out his hip flask and said, "This is sweet wine, Xiaocao can drink a little at will, it's fine."

Bai Po drank obediently, and then hugged his legs and nestled next to Bai Ze, without saying a word, and did not talk to the few teenagers in front of him who were happily chatting.

Bai Ze touched his cheek and said, "Do you still want to sleep for a while?"

Bai Ke shook his head.

Bai Ze smiled and said, "Okay, then do you want to sit in front and play in the water?"

Bai Po looked at the teenagers who were sitting on the edge of the turtle shell stirring the water, with a trace of longing in his eyes, but he held Bai Ze's hand timidly.

Bai Ze knew that he still couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to have some fun, but since he was separated from Yin Hanting, he didn't have a place in his heart, so he was very scared.

"I'll take you."

Bai Po looked at the person holding his hand, his appearance was very clear, and his smile was extremely gentle, unlike Yin Hanting who was always cold, he hummed lightly, and finally he was willing to take a step cautiously.

Bai Po's attitude changed from crying at the beginning to being cute later on. Bai Ze couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he saw it. After all, Xiaocao lost his mind and could use his instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in a very short period of time. It has been very difficult.

It wasn't until the evening that Penglai's shadow appeared on the originally boundless sea, it was a small green island.

Xuanwu climbed onto the beach of the island, and when everyone got off its back, it turned into a handsome young man in green clothes. With a warm smile, the young man hurriedly led the way.

There is no conflict with the world here, it seems that after arriving on Penglai Xiandao, even the increasingly heavy heart due to the war is relieved a bit.

Suzaku saw that Bai Ze had something to say to the old woman, so he stretched out his hand to lead Bai Ze and said, "I'll show you where to live, and you can choose the one you like." This wasn't his first visit to Penglai. Yes, familiar with the way.

Bai Po looked at Bai Ze, and Bai Ze patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to follow boldly, and he let Suzaku run away holding hands.

When the young men walked a little farther with white scorpions, the old woman said slowly: "They are so carefree, I really don't know if it's good or bad."

Bai Ze said lightly: "When it's time to grow up, you will naturally grow up. There is nothing wrong with being happier now. It would be pitiful to be like Qinglong and the others. They entered the battlefield prematurely and held the power of life and death. I can't even laugh anymore."

It was precisely because they escaped death that year that Suzaku and the others were allowed to hide in Penglai this time, so as not to let blood and fighting erode their innocence prematurely.

The old woman shook her head. She always felt that this would make people coquettish. She said: "The sooner you know about the impermanence of fate, the better you can prepare for it. This Penglai... is not a place where there is no worry."

"How to say?" Bai Ze frowned suddenly, he was keenly aware that the old woman was faintly worried that Penglai might also be involved in the battle with the demons.

The old woman said: "A few days ago, I found that there were many omissions in the restrictions on the island. Some of them have been old for a long time and it is difficult to repair them. If you encounter monsters, at least you will disturb the gods."

Bai Ze himself was not good at fighting, so he suddenly had a headache and said, "Where is there any omission, take me to see it tomorrow." Wouldn't it be okay for him to set up a few more restrictions?

"The labyrinth on the island should also be changed."

"Change, change!"

When Bai Ze walked away from the smiling old woman with a drained expression on his face, Bai Ze was already sitting in Suzaku's room.

The tallest tree on the hillside of the island, Suzaku built a wooden house here last time. Although it was simple, it had a bed and a table and looked very comfortable.

He couldn't hide his pride and said, "You can live with me."

"It's okay to live with me, that's the one!" Xuanwu pointed out the window of the hut, and saw that there was also a wooden hut on the beach not far away.

Bai Hu stood at the door, looking left and right, envious, "I can also build a house, and it will be my own!"

Bai Po stammered, "I...I want to build a house myself!"

Just at this time, Bai Ze jumped onto the big tree, and after hearing the conversation of several people, he stood in front of the door crying and laughing: "Xiaocao lives with me, your house will collapse when it rains."

Suzaku's face flushed immediately, his lips parted, and he didn't dare to refute.

Xuanwu scratched his head and said, "Isn't it not raining?"

Immediately Baihu saw the wind and said: "Then I will live with Shangxian."

"Okay, I'll live in the cave." Bai Ze didn't care much about the half-grown teenagers. In his opinion, as long as they play well, it's fine. He just stepped forward to hold Xiaocao's hand and said, "No way." Leave Penglai, the rest is up to you."

Bai Ze led the white scorpion to a serious place where people could live. It was a mountain cave, and it was unique to walk into it.

Bai Po stared blankly at the scenery here, the cave, the water, the big trees, and the place where Xiao Hei lived seemed to be...

He thought he had really returned to the snake cave on Shiwanda Mountain, so he suddenly shook off Bai Ze's hand and ran into the depths of the cave, shouting as he ran, "Little... Xiaohei..."

"Xiao Hei?" Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him, "Little Fox, who are you looking for?"

Bai Po stood at the innermost end of the cave. The layout here was different from the cave where Xiao Hei lived. He seemed to understand that he had misidentified the place, and silently lowered his head.

Bai Ze thought he was thinking about Yin Hanting, so he coaxed: "Mr. Long will pick you up soon, and there are many interesting places here. I'm afraid you won't be willing to leave when the time comes."

Bai Ke nodded with pretending to be relaxed.

Bai Ze touched his forehead just like Yin Hanting did.

Because they were exhausted after traveling all day, they went to bed and lay down after a simple wash.

Bai Ze looked at Bai Po, who kept leaning towards him, and thought a little funnyly of Yin Hanting's stingy appearance on the Kunlun Mountains, where the grass would not be touched here or seen there. I really didn't expect that, in the end, he fell into his arms inside.

Speaking of which, he also drank the wine brewed by Xiaocao. At that time, he felt that Xiaocao's wine had a hint of sweetness, and after the mellow aroma, it returned to sweetness. This shows that Xiaocao is not a gloomy person. The look and feel has always been good.

Later, I heard some things, although I don't know too many details, about Yin Hanting, about Chongyan, most of them are hearsay.But even so, he was able to piece together the truth—Yin Hanting seemed to have told him that Chongyan's original body was a mirror.

It is really impossible to sort out the twists and turns here, and I can only blame Yin Hanting for being too sharp. He reminded him, but he didn't expect that the cause and effect would fall on Xiaocao in the end.

Probably Yin Hanting himself regretted it very much. After all, even he, an outsider, could feel that Dragon Lord Yin Hanting's liking for Xiaocao was overflowing, melting the frozen snow.
