This is how the nine-tails were taken to a temple by the white clothes, and when they saw the big monk Sui Mian inside, the white clothes explained a few words to the monk Sui Mian, turned around and looked at the nine tails, touched his head, and went out again.

Seeing that the white clothes were gone, the Nine-Tails wanted to follow, but because they were not suitable for this body, they fell to the ground as soon as they raised their legs.

"This little doll is indeed dull and abnormal. With this kind of qualification, it is a great fortune to be able to come back alive in Buzhou Mountain. "The monk said.

If the Nine-Tails could understand human speech at that time, he would definitely be very angry!

It's a pity he didn't understand at the time...

Moreover, the eyebrows and eyes of the monk were much softer than those in white clothes, and it seemed that people wanted to get close, so the nine-tails let him carry himself and step out of the door.

"Shi Lu, come here," Sui Mian entered the classroom and called the older Shi Lu from the little monk who was sitting quietly in a room, "This new doll, although he is a little dull, but he can be regarded as half of your junior brother, and it is good for you to take care of him as a teacher." ”

"Yes Master," Shi Lu replied.

After the monk left, Shi Lu went back to the classroom to collect the scriptures, came out to lead the nine tails, and walked to the residence. Nine-Tails was pulled by the hand, and carefully took steps to learn to walk on two legs, but now it looked like it was limping.

Seeing this, Shi Lu thought that the Nine-Tails was suffering from a leg disease, so he didn't say anything, but just slowed down quietly.

The nine-tails stayed in the temple like this, shuttling between the big monk and the small monk every day, and the nine-tails with thick and long hair became fresh. Everyone knows that this seven or eight-year-old child was brought back by the monk when he went to Buzhou Mountain to ask questions, and what happened to this child on the mountain, although he was dressed as a monk, but he was extremely stupid, he didn't know anything about this world, and he couldn't even speak, so everyone sympathized with him and took care of him more.

Shi Lu is the personal disciple of the monk of the old monk, he is very friendly, cautious and thoughtful, these years, the nine tails have been taken care of by this senior brother, he was born smart, and he learned things a lot faster than ordinary people.

Everyone in the Xuan Temple thought that he would not be able to remember the past when he was in danger on Buzhou Mountain. I don't know his name, so Sui Mian gave him a name, followed by the word of the time, called Shi Yue, but this name is not a serious legal name after all, so when everyone calls him, add a small character in front of it.

After staying in the Xuan Temple for five years, the Nine-Tails gradually grew into a smart and clever young man. There are countless Xuanmen families, and the monk has the heart to help him, but the immortal cultivator and the divine cultivator have always had little communication, and the monk thinks that the Taoist priest does not pursue a low realm, and the Taoist priest thinks that the monk pretends to be high and dead...

So the Nine-Tails have been staying in the Xuan Temple.

During the day, he followed Shi Lu to practice martial arts and sword, meditated and recited books, and at night, he would still climb to the highest roof to spit out and practice, but this was a temple in the end, and he did not dare to incarnate the original body to worship the moon, so he had to meditate and cultivate his mind.

During his time in the temple, the Nine Tails followed Shi Lu and read most of the scriptures and books in the library cabinet.

He figured out what he should know and what he shouldn't know.

When a living being reaches a certain state of cultivation, it can transform into its original body. Transformation does not necessarily have to be a human body, it is recorded in the book, the transformation of demons has no limitations, only by what you think in your heart, there are many people who are willing to turn into creatures next to you, or other types of demons, but more are willing to turn into human appearances.

After the Father of God returned to heaven and earth, the gods created all living beings, and only human beings were created based on the appearance of God, so in a sense, human beings are also the creatures closest to God.

As for why the Nine-Tails is such a monk, there is also a reason. The living creatures he has seen since he was a child are only a few white clothes that have been on Buzhou Mountain, so when he transforms, he can only become like this. Nine-Tails secretly sighed to himself, at that time, he often thought about the food that the white clothes gave him, but fortunately he didn't change into the appearance of the steamed bread and dry cakes according to his heart.

It is recorded in the history that at the beginning of heaven and earth, it was the father of God who split the chaos with a battle axe, and only then did he divide the three worlds of heaven, earth and man. The heavenly one is the yang as the top, the gods and the immortals, the god level is above the nine heavens, and the immortal level is the ten thousand spirits in the mortal world who have attained the Tao and ascended and lived below the nine heavens.

The heavenly realm is in charge of the affairs of the world.

The earth is the yin, the underworld, or the hell of Mount Tai, which governs the cycle of life and death of all things.

The human world is mortal. The fox clan lives in the Qingqiu of the demon world, and the so-called demon world is actually a boundary that exists in the four seas and nine states in the world.

The Father of God opened Hongmeng, sacrificed himself to heaven and earth, and laid the peace of the Three Realms.

At first, there were only the Divine Rank within the Three Realms, which at that time were called the Divine Race. The Protoss came out of the mountains and rivers, and they inherited the will of their fathers, created living beings in the mountains and rivers, and created this world.

After the manifestation of all spirits, the gods returned to the heavenly realm, and no longer asked about the affairs of the world.

From the beginning of heaven and earth to today, thousands of years have passed. The gods were also reborn at the time of a chaotic collapse of the heavens and the earth, and in order to save the common people, they finally returned to heaven and earth, and since then, there are only immortals in the heavenly realm, and there are no gods.

After the death of the god rank, the Three Realms were able to be happy, and the fairy rank took charge of the overall situation of the world.

All things have spirits, and all living beings in the world have their own methods of cultivation, and only those who have the recognition of the way of heaven and those who have great merit and great opportunities can they soar up, be included in the immortal class, have a long life, and live above the sky.

In the four seas and nine states of the human world, except for people who have embarked on the path of cultivation and are called monks, other living beings who have cultivated the path are called demons, and demons and humans coexist in the human world. For thousands of years, the two worlds fought endlessly, and finally one day, the head of the monk of the human race and several bosses of the demon world reached an agreement, which included the East China Sea and the adjacent two states of Dongzhao and the North Underworld under the scope of the demon world, with Mount Tai as the boundary.

The demon world agreed very happily, although human nature is not open, but after all, dare to say that Mount Tai is the dividing line between the two worlds, just out of the reverence of the creatures of the Three Realms for the King of Mount Tai, the boss of the fox clan Xuanyi concluded that these mortals would not dare to go back on their word. After worshipping the king of Mount Tai Mansion, he officially drew a clear boundary between the human world and the demon world, and restricted the human race from entering the demon world without permission, and the demon must not cause chaos in the world. Therefore, it is rumored in the world that if you see Mount Tai, you must not go east, otherwise you will strayed into the hell of Mount Tai and will never recover.

What is this rumor about the existence of this Tarzan Hell?

Mount Tai Hell is the place where all souls will go when they die and die, there is a way for the soul to return to the Liang father, and the soul to the artemisia, which is also a saying of Mount Tai Hell. Because of the difference between the two are the soul and the soul that make up the mind and intellect of the human being, the soul and the spirit need to be judged separately after death, and if the sin is committed, it must be repaid in the eight hells before the soul can be one. Only after obtaining a complete soul can one find the path to death. Walk to the platform of forgetting, drink the Mengpo soup, step over the Nannai He Bridge, cross the Lethe River overflowing with three thousand weak water and grievances, throw away everything in this life, and re-enter the reincarnation cycle.

And who is Taishan Fujun?

Since the beginning of Hongmeng, he has been in charge of Mount Tai Hell, and he is also the last god in the three realms.

"So my hometown, it should be, in the Northeast?"

Nine-tails chewed grass stalks and lay on the roof in a daze.

"Shiyue, it's time to rest, come down quickly. "It was Shi Lu who called him in the courtyard, and he looked like a handsome twenty-eight-year-old boy in plain cloth.

"Oh, here it comes. ”

Shi Lu put the wooden basin that helped the Nine Tails make clean water in the outhouse, sat on the edge of the couch in his middle clothes, and read the scriptures with half-squinted eyes. After the Nine-Tails cleaned and covered the door of the outhouse, he walked into the inner room with only a robe wrapped casually outside his inner coat, and sat down on the footstool on the collapsed edge of Shilu.

Shi Lu chuckled, "Why are you sitting, don't bring the grate yet." ”

The Nine-Tails responded in a daze, and took the grate.

"How many times have you said that you can't only wear your underwear before you go to bed, so that people will see you and you will be punished. Shi Lu carefully combed his hair and whispered in his mouth.

Nine-Tails didn't make a sound, only squinted his eyes comfortably, and his head was originally leaning obliquely on the edge of the couch, but then he thought the wood was too hard and leaned on Shi Lu's legs.

Because of his poor sleeping position, Nine-Tails' hair is always messy, so in addition to helping him tie his hair in the morning, Shilu will help him comb his hair neatly before going to bed every night.

The comb grate is made by Shi Lu himself, and most of the comb grates in the mountain market will be carved with butterfly peonies or some affectionate verses, Shi Lu feels that such a comb grate is inappropriate for a man to use, so he made it himself, and engraved the words time and moon on it.

The little nine-tails who got the grate were very happy, held it in his hand and played with it for a long time, and cautiously took the carving knife and drew a bend next to the name, Shi Lu asked him why with some puzzlement.

"I'm drawing my name, it's the moon~" Nine-Tails explained seriously.

"When the moon is in the sky, shouldn't it be round?" Shi Lu said.

"In your heart, it is a circle full of sunshine in the sky, and in my heart it is a bend of silver hook and food shortage, both of which are moons, what are the two meanings?" Nine-Tails grinned and handed the carving knife to Shi Lu, "Come, senior brother, you can help me engrave your name as well, and it will be engraved here, I am clumsy, and it will not be good if I break it." ”

This grate has become the most precious thing of the Nine-Tails, hidden under the pillow, and no one can touch it except Shilu.

"Senior brother, are you going to Kunlun Xu, what are you going to do in those Taoist priests' territory?" asked the Nine-Tails lazily leaning on Shi Lu's lap.

Shi Lu's hand suddenly paused, frowned and asked, "How do you know?"

"You told me when you were talking in your sleep," Nine-Tails curled the corners of her lips.

"Are you secretly looking at my things again," Shi Lu frowned slightly, and when he heard Nine-Tails' insincere explanation, the anger between his eyebrows turned to helplessness, and he sighed, "You, "

As a personal disciple of the great monk in the temple, Shi Lu has always been strict and polite in front of people, and his joy and anger are not revealed. The Nine-Tails have lived with Shilu since they entered the temple, and they can hear Shilu talking in their dreams every night, sometimes muttering, sometimes screaming fiercely, and sometimes secretly sobbing.

Nine-tails thought, senior brother must be a sensitive and delicate person, so later Nine-Tails would seal his hearing every night before sleeping, but one night Nine-Tails woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, and went to the roof to meditate, because of the abnormal hearing, Nine-Tails heard clearly through the eaves, Shi Lu muttered:

"If there is no way to ask for it, why not try it? If there is a way to ask for it, why not try it?"

"Do you know Wuda?" Shi Lu put away the grate and said softly.

Nine-Tails shook his head.

"A long time ago, I flipped through an ancient book in the corner of the book pavilion, talking about the difference between the way of cultivating gods and the way of cultivating immortals, most of the books in it talked about the way of cultivating immortals, and only the last page mentioned the way of cultivating gods. There is only one sentence, created in heaven and earth, there is no door and no way. ”

"No more?" asked Nine-Tails.

"On the back of that page it is written, the southwest of the big tree, as for the Wuda. "The rhythm of the times is down.

"Where is that?"

"A river, Kunlun Xuan is its source, I think, go and see," Shi Lu said, "I don't understand what this means, if there is no way to really cultivate God, why do we still have to insist on it? If it is useful, why has no one achieved positive results in these tens of millions of years?"

"It's just a miscellaneous book, why care?" said the Nine-Tails.

"No, since the demise of the god rank, for tens of millions of years now, there has never been a god in the heavenly realm, although the road of cultivating immortals is difficult, they can see hope, and the road we are stepping on seems to be full of light, but in fact, it is dark and can't be seen clearly. I'm scared, maybe," Shi Lu's eyes were a little dim,

"There can be no more God in this world. ”

"Senior brother," Nine-Tails opened his mouth, not knowing what words to use to persuade him.

In the world, you can see many temples and Taoist temples, all of which are honored as monks, but the techniques practiced by the two are very different. The Taoist priest is practicing the way of cultivating immortals, and one day if he inherits great merits, he can soar to become an immortal.

Although it is said that it is the way to become a god, no one has ever succeeded in cultivating oneself. Because of this, the number of cultivators has greatly decreased, and it is also very common for monks to give up halfway and escape into Taoist temples.

Shilu combed the Nine-Tails' hair neatly, took plain cotton ribbons from under the pillow, and tied them loosely into a bunch.

"Go to sleep. ”

"Senior brother, can I sleep with you today?" Nine-Tails looked up at him.

"Why?"

"I'm worried that you will have to go for a long time before you can come back, and I want to get closer to my senior brother~" Nine-Tails said with a grin.

Seeing that Shi Lu did not object, he quickly got on Shi Lu's couch, tore off his robe and threw it on the edge of the couch, got into the quilt, poked his head out to look at Shi Lu, and immediately pretended to lie down.

"How many times have you said that you have to fold your clothes neatly, and if you do this, you will definitely live in a confinement room when I go down the mountain. Shi Lu took off his middle clothes, folded them with the outer robe of the nine tails and put them on the stage, raised his hand to cover the candlelight, and went to the couch with his underwear.

"Senior brother, why did you cultivate the Tao like this?" asked Nine-Tails with his eyes closed and one of his arms on his pillow.

"I don't know. Shi Lu replied, "I have been in this Xuan Temple since I was born, and I was told that I have great cause and effect in my life, and I need to concentrate on practicing in the Xuan Temple in this life, and ignore the world." What about you, Shiyue, do you remember something?"

"No," Nine-Tails was silent for a while, and then replied, "Senior brother, if you leave, I will also go down the mountain." I want to see what the world is like. ”

"It's okay," Shi Lu smiled, "down the mountain, no matter how unruly you are, no one will punish you." It's night, go to sleep. ”

"Hmm. The Nine-Tails replied softly.

Half a month later, Shilu went down the mountain.

Half a month later, the Nine-Tails also resigned and left at the same age.
