I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

When Pei Xiang saw that King Duan began to think about her story seriously, he knew that most of the things were done.The remaining small part, after Wang Duan's investigation and verification, can probably develop in the direction she expected.

The study was quiet, only the green bamboo outside the window rustling softly in the breeze. After sitting with her for a while, she turned her head and glanced at the Western carved clock on the multi-treasure shelf, and found that it was almost noon, so she got up and turned to King Duan bowed and said goodbye.

Because Wang Duan had something on his mind, he no longer had any romantic thoughts, so he nodded and let Pei Xiang leave.

He thought, the future will be long.

When Duan Wang was the only one left in the study, he slightly closed his phoenix eyes, recalling the details of the dream described by Pei Xiang. The more he thought about it, the more believable the content of the dream became.

——The matter of Lin Ruhai's complete dedication to me is very secretive, and it is not something that Pei Xiang can know.

——I heard a little about the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion when I was in the imperial capital. Although it is not true, some details are indeed closed.

Duan Wang thought of the words of Fairy Jing Huan again, she said that Pei Xiang's fate should not be contaminated with love in the world, otherwise he would harm others and himself, so he couldn't help frowning.

"Come on."

A guard came in and clasped his fists: "My lord?"

"Go to Jinling, contact the people we have placed in the Zhen family, and ask them about the Jia family in the imperial capital. At the same time, send an urgent letter to the imperial capital, conveying the order to investigate the second residence of Ningrong, etc. After I return, I will see the detailed investigation content."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

The bodyguard who has been working with King Duan all year round promised in a deep voice, turned around and left quickly.

Duan Wang thought to himself, the imperial capital is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, and it would take too long for the news to come and go, so it is better to inquire about the situation from inside the Zhen family, the old relative of the Jia family.If some details can be matched, it means that the content of the dream that Pei Xiang said is basically accurate. As for the more specific ones, you can wait for him to return to the imperial capital and then explore it in detail.

He was thinking about the affairs of Lin's House and Jia's House, and his hands were not idle.

While writing a letter to Taoist Ziyang, Mingzhao wondered to himself, since the daughter of the Lin family can change his fate, doesn't Pei Xiang have to go home to practice Taoism?

——If that kind of appearance and talent were real, it would be a pity that Qingdeng Ancient Buddha lived his life.

After a while, Mingzhao put away his pen, scanned the content on the paper, pondered for a while, and added a few more sentences.

He euphemistically asked Taoist Ziyang, if Pei Xiang's destiny is doomed, she must stay away from the world of mortals and cultivate for a lifetime, then is it possible for her to really understand the mystery of the world, become a real practitioner of Fangwai, or understand The art of exorcising evil and avoiding evil?

After writing the doubts in his heart, Mingzhao pondered for a while, and then sealed the letter himself.Then, he summoned another subordinate and ordered him to find Taoist Ziyang and hand over the letter to the other party.

After finishing this matter, Mingzhao sighed softly.

He rubbed his forehead and felt a little tired, so he no longer stayed in the study of the Lin family, but quietly left the Lin family with people, and returned to the current hidden residence.

Ming Zhao left, but Pei Xiang was having lunch with the little white fox.

"King Duan will definitely ask Taoist Priest Ziyang, whether my fate can be changed, whether I am suitable for cultivating Taoism, um, and probably also secretly ask about the luck of the Lin family."

Pei Xiang filled a bowl of fish soup for the little white fox, and said with a light smile:

"However, with my previous letter, I believe Taoist Priest Ziyang will know how to answer Duan Wang.

That person is a genius, he neither wants to offend the fox clan seniors, nor does he want to get involved in emotional disputes.In the end, it probably pushed me out, saying that fate is hard to change, I am suitable for cultivation and have great potential, and I will definitely succeed in cultivation in the future. "

The little white fox looked up at Pei Xiang and moved his ears.

Pei Xiang tried the temperature of the fish soup, and then pushed the soup to the little white fox:

"It's a good thing you're not an ordinary fox, otherwise I wouldn't know what to feed you. It's said that small animals can't always eat cooked food prepared by humans, they will lose their hair and become bald."

The little white fox grunted dissatisfiedly, as if saying that he was healthy.

"Abai, if I go to ask the immortals, can you still follow me? Will those people with cultivation base hurt you or hate you?"

The little white fox drank the fish soup seriously with his head down. Hearing Pei Xiang's question, he flicked his tail without raising his head.

So Pei Xiang knew that Abai could leave with her.

"That would be great, Ah Bai! I wrote to Taoist Priest Ziyang earlier, asking him where he can seek immortality and learn Taoism, and get a famous teacher.

He recommended a few places to me. I thought about it for a few days, and I think Laoshan is good. What do you think? "

A Bai raised his head and glanced at Pei Xiang, his eyes were lazy, and he didn't raise any objections. It seemed that he didn't have any dissatisfaction with the Laoshan place.

However, Pei Xiang still saw a little dislike in his green fox eyes, and thought, this means that Laoshan can go, but it is not as good as the fox clan from which Ah Bai was born?

"Ah Bai, I'm a human being, so of course I have to learn spells from people."

Pei Xiang patted Ah Bai's little head: "I know, your fox clan is very powerful, but we are of different races, no matter how powerful the fox clan is, I can't learn your inheritance."

For some reason, these words made Ah Bai yell.Afterwards, he stopped eating, but jumped off the chair, waved his front paw towards Pei Xiang, as if saying "goodbye", turned around and left Pei Xiang's room.

Regarding the sudden departure of her little friend, Pei Xiang was not flustered or surprised, because these days, she has become accustomed to Ah Bai's elusive presence.

She always felt that A-Bai was a fox with a story, and sometimes, she even secretly wondered if this A-Bai had a good vixen outside, that's why he often came and went in such a hurry.

——However, even if Ah Bai has a lover outside, it is probably not a formal relationship.Otherwise, why would he have to come back to bed when there are soft and furry companions to cuddle with?

Pei Xiang now treats the little white fox as an alien friend who can communicate, and occasionally adds a bit of indulgence and intimacy to his beloved pet.

Even though she knew that Abai was a male vixen, as a human being, she had deep-rooted cognitive habits, which prevented her from treating the little fox as a male.

In her heart, Abai is just Abai, a very special existence, very different from human men like Duan Wang.

Therefore, she can indulge Ah Bai to sleep next to her pillow, and cuddle and hug him as much as she wants, but she won't feel that such behavior is inappropriate.And Ah Bai, who was touched and rubbed, never showed discomfort or rejection, so Pei Xiang felt that the other party had the same idea as him.

——Maybe in Ah Bai's heart, I am also his little friend and cute pet.

——It feels like my childhood wish has finally come true, and I have a little partner like Doraemon.However, Doraemon can stretch out a round hand, while Ah Bai can only stretch out his fluffy little paws.

——Of course, Doraemon is definitely not as delicate and beautiful as Ah Bai.As long as I see Ah Bai now, I feel like a super fan. I feel that every little bit of fox fur on him is shining with starlight, which makes people unable to take their eyes off...

Bai Jin who left the Lin's mansion didn't know what was going on in Pei Xiang's mind. He jumped lightly a few times before disappearing into the air.

When he showed his figure again, he had already reached the foot of Mount Lao.

However, at this time, he is no longer the little white fox in front of Pei Xiang, but has transformed into an adult human man.That face and facial features are exactly the beautiful demeanor that she had when she taught Fairy Jing Huan, and it was also the original appearance of Bai Jin, the young master of the Fox Clan, after transforming into a human form.

Bai Jin stood quietly at the foot of Laoshan Mountain for a while, and suddenly saw the majestic and steep mountains, rivers and lush forests suddenly full of rays of light, and fairy mist and auspicious smoke floated up, surging and gathering.

After a while, strange birds such as white-feathered cranes, golden-crowned black eagles, and red-tailed bluebirds came, shuttled between the clouds and mists, and sang happily.The mountains under the colorful clouds are full of flowers, and the fragrance is permeating, as dreamy and beautiful as a sea of ​​fragrant snow.

But the strange thing is that such a wonder of the fairy family did not attract the attention of the humans near Laoshan Mountain, and everyone was still doing their own things, looking as usual.Only Bai Jin standing with his hands behind his back can see such a grand and beautiful scene.

However, he was not happy.

"Wei Zhu Dao grows up in such a big way, and he is so solemn when he comes out to meet old friends. He is almost catching up with Dongting Dragon Lord's extravagance. Why, I haven't seen you for many years. You are not going to cultivate your heart and Taoism, but change to join Dragon Clan Suicune?"

"Young Master is an honored guest. How can a poor man dare to neglect you when an honored guest comes?"

A handsome Taoist priest with a face like a crown of jade came from the clouds. He was dressed in a bright blue and silver embroidered Taoist robe with Fuluxiang pattern, and a small crown inlaid with coral and shell beads. :

"I had a meeting with fellow Taoist Xuanqing the day before yesterday, and he said that his great-disciple, Sun Ziyang, saw the phantom of a seven-tailed white fox. Let's speculate, maybe it's Young Master, you have achieved success in cultivation, and after many years of retreat, you finally broke through the bottleneck. Unexpectedly, just now Having mentioned your name, you have come to my Laoshan territory, what a great honor, what a great honor."

Bai Jin raised her eyebrows: "So, with your flamboyant welcome posture, are you congratulating me?"

Taoist Master Weizhu smiled slightly: "It is not only to congratulate the young master, but also to show the poor Dao's cultivation of Taoism in recent years. Although this magnificent scene looks flashy, but young master, let's be honest, how is this illusion? Can it be returned?" Got Shaojun's eyes?"

Bai Jin swept across the mountains and plains, and glanced at the glittering golden light behind Taoist Wei Zhu, and couldn't help but close his eyes: "Your aesthetics really haven't changed for many years."

"Thanks for the prize, it's just such a hobby."

"You really shouldn't have rejected Lord Long's invitation back then. The styles you both like are really similar. Being a Taoist priest 'wronged' you."

"Young Master, don't mention Lord Long again. If Lord Long hadn't insisted on marrying the dragon girl to me, I wouldn't have been hiding on this mountain all day long."

Taoist Weizhu smiled and said, lightly raised his wide robe sleeves, and sent an auspicious cloud to Bai Jin's feet:

"Since the young master came here, I think he is looking for the poor Taoist for something. In that case, I invite the young master to come into my Weizhu Cave and taste the newly picked tea this year."

"I really miss Daochang's tea-making skills."

Bai Jin stepped on the clouds, followed Taoist Wei Zhu to fly into the depths of Mount Lao, and visited the aura-filled cave of Wei Zhu.

The two sat facing each other in front of the square table carved out of cold jade. Bai Jin didn't exchange many greetings, but said directly:

"After a while, a junior from our clan will come to Laoshan to seek immortality and Taoism, and he will probably find you, Weizhu Cave, as a teacher. At that time, please be more tolerant, don't expose her real body, just treat her as a mortal It’s good for women to be accepted as apprentices.”

Taoist Weizhu was puzzled by these words: "The descendants of the fox clan come to me to seek advice from teachers? Shaojun, is there something hidden in this? How can I guide Shaojun's people with my little magic skills? Besides, you fox clan Don't the three branches all have their own inheritance?"

Bai Jin and this Taoist Master Weizhu are considered old friends. They have known each other's character for many years, so they did not hide the details and introduced Pei Xiang's situation to him.

"The junior of my family is in a special situation. When she just got two tails, she secretly ran to play in the human world. Unluckily, she met that guy Jing Huan, and she was fooled into falling in love with the world.

In the end, her two tails and inner alchemy were gone, and Jing Huan almost took the opportunity to arrest her soul, and entered her illusory realm to do things.

Fortunately, at a critical juncture, my fox clan junior suddenly woke up and used the secret method of inheritance.She escaped the perception of Jing Huan, but because of this, she lost her memory of being a fox, and became an ordinary three- or four-year-old human child.Fortunately, he was adopted by a kind family and grew up slowly, until now he is no different from ordinary people. "

Taoist Master Weizhu has known a few friends from the fox tribe because he has been with Shaojun Baijin for many years. Naturally, he has heard of the situation of the fox tribe who loses inner alchemy and loses memory and becomes a mortal, so his brows are slightly frowned:

"I've heard from your clansmen that this situation is God's mercy on the fox clan and left you the last hope.

But once he loses his memory and turns into an out-and-out mortal body, only through his own efforts to solve various crises can it be possible to grow a tail again, condense the inner alchemy, and restore his previous cultivation.

However, during this period, the amnesiac fox clan could not get reminders and help from the same clan, and could only survive by groping for their own.From ancient times to the present, among the foxes who have used this method to save their lives, only three have regained the cultivation level before the broken alchemy, and most of the rest are like ordinary people, born, aged, sick and died normally. "

Bai Jin sighed softly: "You're right, so I came here specifically to ask you not to touch that girl's real body before she recovers. Let her think that she is an out-and-out human being.

In the future, if she is lucky enough to return to the group, then everyone will be happy.If she hadn't re-condensed the inner alchemy, she wouldn't feel regretful, and it would be good to live happily for a lifetime. "

Taoist Wei Zhu squinted at Bai Jin: "I don't believe you can really stand by and watch."

Bai Jin leaned back in the chair, lazily picked up the tea cup and sipped slowly, and said after a while:

"How can it be regarded as standing by? If she saved me and took care of me, I have to thank her, right? That is not a reminder and help between the same race. After all, what she thinks is from the perspective of an ordinary human being." departed."

"You asked her to save you on purpose?" Taoist Wei Zhu shook his head disapprovingly.

Bai Jin sneered: "How is that possible, how could I do something stupid? To be honest, before she saved me, I really didn't notice that she was a junior of my clan.

I went to fulfill a promise I made in the early years, and when I caught up with the breakthrough in my cultivation, I was seriously injured.If she hadn't been busy taking care of me and finding a doctor for me, my breakthrough this time would definitely have failed. "

Taoist Wei Zhu was surprised: "What a coincidence? Is the other party also one of your white foxes?"

"No, it belongs to the red fox branch in the clan field. There are no elders in the family, so it has been missing for a long time, and no other foxes are interested in looking for it."

Bai Jin told Taoist Wei Zhu about Pei Xiang and the Painted Skin Ghost. Hearing Taoist Wei Zhu sighed again and again, he felt that the things in this world were really wonderful. vitality.

"If she pays all her attention to that nobleman's injury and ignores you, or, um, even if she is worried, but she is not very dedicated, you will be suspended this time."

For Wei Zhu's emotion, how could Bai Jin not feel it?Moreover, because he was the person involved, he knew more details and felt more deeply, which made his newly broken cultivation level suddenly stabilize a lot, which shows the great opportunity that Pei Xiang brought him.

When Pei Xiang was forced by the Painted Skin Ghost to save Mingzhao, Bai Jin was waiting to be struck by lightning in the Holy Land of the Fox Clan.

However, just before the first thunderbolt landed, Bai Jin suddenly felt something in his heart. A voice in the dark told him that a promise he owed in the early years should be fulfilled.

A bloodline descendant of a deceased person encountered a life-and-death crisis, and he had to save the person, and because that person's identity was very special, if he was late in rescuing, the trouble would be even greater.

So, at the critical moment when he was about to cross the catastrophe, Bai Jin had no choice but to split a tail and turn into a clone, leaving the Holy Land in an instant, and running thousands of miles to block the fatal sword for someone.When his avatar, the little fox, was dying, the main body was resisting ninety-nine and 81 thunderstorms, and it was impossible to rush to treat or take back the avatar.

When the avatar dies, one tail will dissipate.

Bai Jin understood at the time that it was Tiandao who didn't want him to break through the bottleneck of the six-tailed white fox, and set up an almost insoluble dilemma for the birth of the seven-tailed white fox, and tried every means to make him lose one.

However, everything has a lifeline.

Bai Jin also didn't expect that the younger generation in the clan who had lost track of him in the early years would appear near his clone, and even found someone to rescue him, and took good care of him all the time.

Then things get interesting.Pei Xiang rescued and took care of him at the critical moment, and in return, he could give her a certain degree of protection.So, he protected her from Painted Skin Ghost's ultimate move and broke her precarious situation, which can be regarded as fate.

Now that the avatar was rescued by Pei Xiang, Bai Jin was not in a hurry to take it back. While repairing the injury struck by the sky thunder and consolidating his cultivation, he observed the amnesiac little fox Pei Xiang through the avatar's eyes and ears.

At the same time, Bai Jin also began to investigate what happened to Pei Xiang before. He had to figure out how this junior got himself into such a miserable situation.

However, things seem to have gone a little off.

The little white fox who followed Pei Xiang was transformed from his first tail, which somewhat retained his childhood habits, like being coquettish, clingy and squeamish.Before he knew it, he let a junior from the fox tribe cuddle and rub him all over his body, until later he "shared the same bed"!

Bai Jin, who stays in the holy place of the clan, can feel being pulled by the tail, rua, and pinched every day.The avatar, Ah Bai, was very happy, but the main body, grown up, Bai Jin didn't feel very honored. He was a dignified young master who was rua to rua, didn't he want to lose face?

So, as soon as he consolidated his cultivation, he hurriedly left the closed fox cave and rushed to Pei Xiang and A Bai.

At that time, Ah Bai was sleeping next to the little girl's pillow, surrounded by a big tail, and looked very comfortable. The little girl's sleeping face was also very cute, with a delicate and charming appearance. At first glance, it was the beauty that only the fox clan should have.

Looking at it, Bai Jin, who was on his way in a hurry, suddenly felt tired. These days, he has gone through tribulations, healed his wounds, and strengthened his cultivation. He hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Therefore, after taking back Yiwei's clone, Bai Jin did not, as he had planned before, stop occupying the little girl's pillow and become a mature, glamorous, majestic big fox.Instead, using the original sleeping position, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep.

However, just when Bai Jin Shaojun gave up his face and planned to take a good rest, Jing Huan suddenly appeared again, disturbing fox Qingmeng.

Thinking of the survey content he had received before, Bai Jin was very disgusted with Jing Huan, so he followed Pei Xiang to the outside of the illusion and watched the confrontation between Jing Huan and Pei Xiang.

Because Pei Xiang was in a special stage, Bai Jin didn't directly show up to help her solve the trouble.

He knew that the more troubles Pei Xiang solved with his own abilities, the greater the chances of recondensing his pills and restoring his memory in the future, so he would not act until the moment of real crisis.

Of course, this did not prevent him from privately teaching Jing Huan after Pei Xiang left safely.

Now, Pei Xiangsheng has the idea of ​​seeking immortals and asking questions, and Bai Jin also thinks this idea is good.He thought that embarking on the road of practice, clarifying his state of mind, and understanding the world would definitely be beneficial for Pei Xiang to congeal his alchemy and restore his two-tail cultivation base, so he rushed to Laoshan in advance to make arrangements.

"I can't meddle in her affairs too much, so you accept her normally and treat her as an ordinary disciple without special treatment.

Don't you guys have that kind of test?People who come to seek immortality are asked to work every day, cut trees and carry water, and have various psychic tests. Only after passing the pass can they enter the inner door, right? "

Taoist Weizhu nodded: "Young Master, what you mean is that before entering the inner sect, let me treat her equally and carefully examine her aptitude and understanding, right?"

"Yes, don't let this investigation go unnoticed, let her enter the inner door with her own efforts."

"However, human beings' Taoism practice mostly depends on their understanding and mind, while the abilities of monster races mostly rely on their bloodlines and bodies. These are two different cultivation concepts.

The practice method I taught is definitely not suitable for the fox clan. Even if she is in this situation, um, she is almost a mortal. I guess, her practice will be half the effort with half the effort, and it is difficult to achieve great achievements. "

Bai Jin raised her eyebrows and smiled proudly: "Then you underestimate the juniors of my clan. She must have been cheated miserably before, but after losing her memory, she has a lot of heart. I see, she has become quite smart." .You human Taoist priests may be more suitable for her with your supernatural and superficial things."

This comment made Taoist Weizhu's eyes widen unexpectedly: "I am really looking forward to being able to be praised by Shaojun so much."

Bai Jin snorted and announced one more thing: "You can have more expectations, for example, there is a powerful person named Bai Jin in Laoshan Taoist priests, and it just so happens that your senior brother lives in Weizhu Cave nearby."

Taoist Wei Zhu coughed in surprise, and looked at Bai Jin in disbelief.

Bai Jin nodded reservedly, smiled and gave his old friend a positive look.
