The monkey couldn't bear it any longer, laughed loudly and said, "That little Nezha will be mad at you for what you say!"

Yang Chan didn't understand, so she said, "How could it be? What I'm telling is the truth, besides, he's still bouncing around!"

"Forget it, you can't figure out the ups and downs of human feelings... what happened next?"

"I said goodbye to him and entered Huashan again..."

"Why? Are you planning to do it?"

"No, I'm going to see Ye Linlang." She said flatly, "Because I owe her a story."

……

"You... here again..."

When the fox demon saw her again, she was standing in the courtyard of the cave palace. This time, she seemed to be awake and not sick.With the gemstones all over the mountain wall as light, those exotic flowers and plants on the ground, against the faint fluorescent light, are more bewitching and delicate than ordinary things under the sun.

Ye Linlang was not surprised to see her again, nor did she intend to resist at all.

Yang Chan walked to her side with her hands behind her back: "Can't I come? Don't forget, your life is still in my hands!"

Ye Linlang gave her a white look: "If you want to kill me, just do it. Why play this cat and mouse game, I won't run away."

"Why don't you leave Huashan?"

Ye Linlang covered her mouth with her sleeve: "Then why are you willing to kill people everywhere? Everyone has their own story. Some want to tell it, and some don't want to."

Yang Chan answered, "Of course, I'm here to tell you a story. If you don't want to hear it, you have to!"

After speaking, he sat down around a stone table in the courtyard, brushed the stone bench beside him with his sleeve, and said, "Sit."

——It’s like the passing walker is the master here.

Ye Linlang sat down, shook her head, and sighed: "I heard it, is it good?"

"No." Yang Chan thought for a while, "But, I have. Listening to stories is my hobby, and telling stories is also my hobby. Isn't it a good thing to have fun?"

Ye Linlang sighed, "You are really weird..."

……

Yang Chan paused at this point.

There was such a long paragraph that she didn't want to talk about it.

"What?" Monkey was getting excited when he heard it, and hurriedly urged her.Yang Chan was not in a hurry, and chose another paragraph to continue.

The missing paragraph in the middle only exists in her memory.

……

Ye Linlang sighed, "You are really weird..."

"I'm the only one in the Three Realms who lost his mind. Of course it's strange enough, but it's not the strangest."

"Is there anyone weirder than you?"

"Yes," Yang Chan said, "For example, mountains and rocks are ruthless, but they can get sick."

The bitch's winking eyes slanted, revealing half of her cunning.

"You know what I mean!" Yang Chan's eyes pressed tightly, "As soon as I entered the mountain, I saw a group of demons dancing wildly, and there was a Taoist leader. The Taoist covered his face at first, but then I tore it off... ..."

She took a deep breath: "That's my face!""

"Oh... it's just a demon..." the fox said indifferently.

"Yes, the heart demon, now that I think about it, that is my heart demon!" Yang Chan responded, "At that time, he said that it was some evil method that changed into my appearance... I slashed with a sword, and it hurt me in one place. It also hurt one place...until, I cut off Yi's head!"

She tore off the collar around her neck, and there was a slight red mark there, which was almost too faint to see clearly.

"...Then fumbled again and took my head back."

The fox looked away: "Is this your story?"

"Aren't you surprised?" Yang Chan straightened his collar and said quietly, "As an earth immortal, you will enter the path of the devil, and the evil energy will overflow and pollute the earth's veins, causing the surrounding creatures to be full of demons - it's not surprising. But I, a person who has lost his mind, is a demon in his heart! Isn't this a strange thing?"

"What do you want to say?"

"There is something in this mountain that I have never seen before, and I don't know where it came from! You live in this mountain, so it's impossible not to know!"

"Hehehehehe..." Ye Linlang couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that you only came to the mountain for a self-righteous treasure! Telling stories is very hypocritical!"

"Hand over the things, and I can spare your life." Yang Chan didn't hide anymore.

"If I say that this thing is purely non-existent, are you just thinking about it?"

"Then you shall die."

As soon as the words fell, a thin edge of the blade hit the fox's throat, and the cold sword shadow reflected the glinting light on the walls of the cave.

"If you attack, I can't hide." The fox was not afraid, melted a pot of tea, took the jade cup on the stone table and poured himself a cup, "But if you kill me, I can't hand over anything out."

"Really?" The blade of the sword tightened again towards the white and slender neck.

"It's useless for you to force me. If you don't have something, you just don't have it."

"You are hiding it, are you unwilling to say it, or are you afraid?" Yang Chan suddenly retracted her sword and lowered her voice, "Shhh, listen to yourself."

The cave is silent, only a few turbulent water flows.Yang Chan flicked his sleeves suddenly, the flowing water sealed the ice, and the last trace of noise was cut off.So, under this absolute silence, there are some inaudible movements slowly oozing out...

Phew - like the wind.

Woo - like a gasp.

Suddenly near and suddenly far away, far out of reach, the source is underground.

"The fire of the candle dragon stores the earth's veins for a long time, nourished by the earth's energy, and is endless. When I first came here, I didn't find it. When I came again, I explored the earth's veins here, and finally found it," Yang Chan flicked his sleeves again, and the ice After the meltdown subsided, the stream began to flow again, "I have seen records in the ancient books of the Jade Cauldron that the gods in ancient times created man, but man was not satisfied with his destiny and did many rebellions... Among them, there is a dragon that hides fire. I don’t know if it’s true or not. But since then, the candle dragon disappeared in the Three Realms, and I reckon that if this happened in the world, the dragon’s breath must have been hidden.”

"Yuding?" Ye Linlang pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked, "The real Yuding of Jinxia Cave, who are you?"

Yang Chan replied generously: "He is my second brother's master, but not mine."

"You... are Yang Chan?" The fox finally knew the identity of the visitor.

Yang Chan did not shy away: "It seems that the notoriety has spread far and wide, even you who have lived in the mountains for a long time have heard of it."

For some reason, Ye Linlang looked a little surprised.She looked Yang Chan up and down again, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you like this..."

"Is this child in shape?" Yang Chan pointed to herself, "When I was five years old, I was slapped by a heavenly soldier and died of a broken heart. To save me, my second brother took my heart and molded me into a A monster that never grows old or dies. In this way, I was preserved, but my body didn't grow any longer."

"This... is the story you want to tell..." Her expression flickered again.

"Dragon's breath is invisible, hidden in the veins and cannot be obtained. Tell me, is it this dragon's breath hidden in the veins of Huashan—the fire of the candle dragon?"

"What's the use of looking for that..."

"That's right, I don't know either." Yang Chan also took a cup and poured himself a cup of tea, "I only know to search. The process of searching is fun. As for what to do after finding it, let's talk about it after finding it .And you, only choose to say, or die."

Ye Linlang turned her head away: "I have nothing to say. I don't want to die either."

"It's really tough. But it's different from just now. You urged me to do it just now. Why don't you want to die now?"

"Just now I knew that I was bound to die, but now I know there is room for change."

"I didn't say I would let you go."

"I know, but among all the things in this world, which one really wants to die."

"Ordinary people, those who hang themselves, throw themselves into rivers, swallow gold, they all really want to die."

"It's impossible to live," Ye Linlang said with a wry smile. "If there is a change, even at the last moment, people will seize life. What's more... what's more, I am just a greedy mortal. brute."

Yang Chan was puzzled and asked, "You...don't you hate people calling you that?"

"Why do I want to be called like this... I have cultivated for thousands of years, but I have only been greedy for the world of mortals for only a few decades. The child I gave birth to has a human form and human nature, so why is it not a human? But mortals call me a demon! They begged me to do things , build temples for me, offer incense to me... but they don’t know that it is me who worships! Huashan has changed, they only know that there is a demon, and they call me a demon! I have done so many things for them, but they still call me a demon !!"

Ye Linlang's canine teeth are visible, and her nails are so long!In a blink of an eye, the beautiful face was gone, and the demonic form was fully revealed. Ye Linlang's body was full of demonic energy, and it was obvious that she could no longer control the evil nature in her body!

Witnessing the changes, Yang Chan has long been used to the strangeness. She looked normal and asked, "The Temple of the Holy Mother, those mortals built it for you, is this the name?"

"so what!"

Yang Chan said calmly: "I saw a peasant woman at the foot of the mountain. Her child was very ill. Before the child became ill, she was only hugged by a strange woman during the full moon wine. According to her mother's description , that woman is you..."

The fox demon froze, and his evil spirit wavered slightly.

"Do you know where I saw her, Huashan—the Holy Mother?"

"..."

"They don't know that what they worship is a fox. And they don't know that not only people's hearts can change in the world, but also foxes. The mother took the child and was still begging hard in front of your portrait... Her child will soon Sick and dead."

The fox demon regained his evil nature, and looked ashamed: "That child...how is it now?"

"I gave her mother a prescription, and she will be fine after taking a few doses. Don't worry, I didn't expose it, saying that you were the one who harmed the child. When she left, she was still thanking the Holy Mother for protecting her and found a good one." Doctor..."

Ye Linlang was silent for a long time, and finally regained her human form.

"Are you normal?" Yang Chan said.

"Yes……"

"I know you're crazy about remembering your child, but it's too much to harm other people's children."

"Heh..." Ye Linlang was half laughing at herself, half guilty, "Over the years, I have gradually lost control of myself. Sometimes when I wake up, I find myself at the foot of a mountain or in a grave, just like that. The place where I live is getting closer and closer, and the hostility is getting stronger day by day. When the blood is surging, I wish I could kill a few people and eat their souls... Actually, I know that these are my demons."

Yang Chan interrupted her and said, "You haven't been possessed yet, maybe you can be saved."

"Save? Are you a rescuer?" the fox sneered.

"Heavenly Court wants me to exterminate the demon head. If I saved you, the demon head will no longer exist. What else do I need to exterminate." Yang Chan paused, and continued, "As long as you are willing to tell me how to obtain the dragon's breath, I will help you." It's easy to save you."

"How do you want to save me?"

"Shanren has his own tricks, you don't have to worry about it."

The fox shook his head: "Why bother, what you asked for is in vain. I want to say, but I can't say it."

Yang Chan scratched her ears: "It's the same sentence I've been talking about, I'm tired of hearing it."

Ye Linlang said seriously: "You might as well kill me with a sword, and then find a way to find your non-existent dragon's breath!"

"It's so boring to snatch it. What I want is the pleasure of others submitting to me," Yang Chan said coldly, "No hurry, we have seven days, so we can wait slowly. I have already made an agreement with the third prince of the Li family. , if you don’t have an answer within seven days, I will bring your head to him. You should be lucky, I am very interested in controlling a person’s life and death, so you still have room for change.”

She stood up and planned to leave: "You can think about it again, seven days is enough for you to think about how to turn around. Think about the child you haven't seen for a long time, think about the man who owes you a lot. Even the chance to see them again If you want to lose, are you willing?"

"Then, let me make a bet with you," Ye Linlang said from behind her, "Just bet, you can't cure me, and you won't kill me either."

"It's not good to bet, but this is what I want to bet on." Yang Chan didn't want to comment on Ye Linlang's words.

"Because he... swallowed half of my demon pill," Ye Linlang picked up the cup of tea on the table again, "So, you can't cure me."

Yang Chan frowned and turned to look at her.

"Everyone in their family was cursed, and they all lived short lives. In his generation, he was the only one left. He asked me for the method of longevity, but I couldn't break the curse, so I had to give him half a demon pill. How many times have I lived?" For thousands of years, the demon pill has a lifespan of thousands of years. If I give him half of it, he will live long enough to kill his enemy... He promised me that before he left, he would marry me and give me a piece from the Long family. Fame, but... On the wedding night, I was sitting in the red tent, but he took my newborn child and ran away."

Yang Chan thought of the unpicked red tents in the palace, clean and tidy, just like 50 years ago...

"You're right, I hate him. But I hope he can live in peace. I've been waiting here for 50 years, waiting and waiting... until half of my remaining life was wasted," she said. He raised his head and looked at the glittering luminous stones in the cave, "However, seven days, anyway, there are still seven days..."

"Seven days, he won't come back."

"Just let me wait, didn't you make an appointment with someone else? Just let me wait... Anyway, I have been waiting for 50 years, and it's not a few days away, ahem..." She clutched her chest tightly, scarlet Black air spewed out from the lips again, "Damn...Damn...Maybe I can wait for him to come in seven days, but I'm going to die, I'm going to die! Ah——!"

She suddenly hugged her head, looked up and yelled, and then her face was full of fear: "I don't want to be a demon! I don't want to be a demon! I want to see him well, and my child, my child! He is still so young, he will not be by Mother's side ! My God——!”

There was another howl, and the mountain was shaken by the monster force, and the rocks on the top of the cave rustled down.The miasma in her mouth melted into the belly of the mountain in an instant, and the mountain let out a mournful cry——

hum-

Shan felt sympathy for the woman, the wife who had been abandoned by her husband, the mother who had lost her child.The mountain was polluted by her miasma, yet this cave was left peaceful.

Ye Linlang's face was ferociously distorted, showing the appearance of an animal from time to time, with exposed fangs and pupils like date pits.Two lines of blood and tears flowed down slowly, it was a woman's accusation against this heaven.

"Hahahaha! Monster monster! It turns out that a thousand years of cultivation is nothing more than a falsehood! Is this my retribution? Is it the retribution of being greedy for the world of mortals?! If the world of mortals is really guilty, why should they use the true feelings of the mortal world?! I don't accept it, I don't accept it— —!!!”

With the last howl, Ye Linlang's body softened and she collapsed to the ground.

Finally, Shan returned to calm, and her appearance changed back to that of an ordinary woman.

……

Yang Chan turned to look at the monkey.

——This is the part she doesn't want to talk about.
