"Was it to save him?"

The fox demon ignored me, only blinked and turned to drink yogurt. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I lay on the couch and looked at it, and gradually I felt a little sleepy.

In a daze, I felt like I had arrived in a mountain forest. The fog on the mountain is very large, but the air is fresh. There was a nice bird call, mixed with the sound of people talking.

"It's really an unintentional fox, don't move, don't move, if you move, the blood will flow more."

Someone whispered.

It was a man in a coarse green coat, sitting on the ground, tending to the wounds of the wounded fox in his arms.

He first washed the wound with water from a kettle, then tore off a clean cloth from the corner of his coat and tied it to the fox's injured leg.

When he had done all this, the man took up the basket with the firewood on his back and left, leaving only the wounded little fox and a bloodstained trap beside him.

The fox watched for a while, then followed, but was repeatedly chased away by the man.

Later, the little fox stopped following. It's just that every morning, when a man goes up the mountain to chop firewood, he will find the firewood that has been cut in the same place.

I don't know how long it lasted, until the man changed from a strong young man to a gray-haired old man, and when he was in the ground, the little fox appeared with a wreath.

Day after day, the little fox stood by the grave, until it was elongated and tall, and nine tails grew behind it, and then it disappeared into the darkness in the dead of night, and never reappeared.

Over time, history spanned into the Tang Dynasty. Under the city walls, on the battlefield, among thousands of horses, a man armed with a spear and wearing armor drove his horse straight into the enemy army. He swept several people with a single shot, and few people on the battlefield could match him.

Although the man was brave, he was wounded by the intrigues of the enemy. His left chest was pierced, blood poured into him, and he fell under the horse's hooves, and as he was about to be surrounded by the swarming enemy troops, a white shadow flashed, shaking the eyes of the enemy soldiers, and causing the man to bounce up.

As if he had not been wounded, the man killed several enemy soldiers with a single shot, turned on his horse and successfully joined his own side and escaped from the trap.

In the same year, the man led the army to attack the enemy, but he was plotted by the thieves, and he was about to be captured.

I don't know how many times this happened, and the man was stupid, but he never got an explanation. Until Tang Taizong Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, it was the heyday of the era, but the man withdrew from the political stage and retired to the mountains and forests with his wife.

That year, the man rescued a little fox and carried it home. Later, the man discovered his abnormality, and when he looked directly at others, he could easily bewitch them.

On this day, he was cornered by his neighbors, who said that he was possessed by a monster and threatened to burn him to death.

The little fox rushed forward and stood in front of the man. Seeing that the sticks were about to fall on the little fox, the man picked up the little fox, held it in his arms, and used his body to protect the little fox's safety.

The man escaped from the hut and hid in the forest.

"I took you home on a whim, and I have no kindness to you. It's not worth sacrificing your life to save me again and again. ”

The man made a fire and snuggled up to the little fox to keep warm. He stroked the little fox's hair, gentle and delicate.

"I often wonder if you are really as described in the book, you are the incarnation of a fox demon, and you have come to repay your kindness in this life. I have been fighting horses for half my life, and I have escaped death several times, and I thought it was a gift from God, and I was lucky. Now that I think about it, maybe it's because of someone's blessing. ”

"There have been several times when I have seen a fox in times of life and death, and I have never told outsiders about this. Now, my wife has fallen into my injustice, and only if you and I depend on each other for my life, I will tell you as much as I can, and I should relieve my boredom. ”

"I think that when I killed the enemy on the battlefield, I was happy and unbridled, and now I ended up like this, which can be regarded as atonement for the souls who died under my hands......"

The man's voice grew quieter until he fell into a deep sleep. The little fox came out of his bosom and transformed into a beautiful young woman.

She snuggled up to the man, drawing the man's facial features over and over again, her eyes gentle and affectionate. Finally she took the man by the arm, leaned on his shoulder, and fell asleep.

When it was daylight, the fire had burned out, and the beautiful young woman had become a beautiful white fox again, but the man who often held it in his arms was nowhere to be seen.

The white fox searched the mountains and finally found him in the village where the man had lived in the past.

At this time, the man had been set up on a high fire, and the surrounding neighbors all clapped their hands and applauded, only an ordinary woman hidden in the corner, holding a child, with a complicated expression.

The man was engulfed in tongues of fire, but he couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth raw, and didn't even let out a snort of pain.

At the moment when the white fox flew in, its size suddenly increased, its body was elongated, the red lotus mark on its forehead swayed and shone brightly, and the nine big tails behind it swept the leaves like the autumn wind, knocking everyone to the ground.

It rushed headlong into the fire, picked up the man, and rushed out of the crowd. During this period, everyone was stunned, but no one dared to stop them.

Fleeing to the mountains and forests, the man was already dying. His skin was charred black, and one of his legs had been reduced to ashes.

He stared at the nine-tailed white fox in front of him, his eyes were clear, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

"I knew, I should have known...... It's a pity that everything was too late. ”

After saying this, the man closed his eyes forever.

The nine-tailed white fox raised its head and let out a terrible scream, which shook the sky, and the trees of the entire mountain forest were cut off from the waist. Hundreds of miles of land were affected and turned black, and the crops in the land were not spared.

The white fox's body shook, and its four tails were cut off in unison. The severed tail hovered above the man, connecting in a circle, emitting a dazzling white light that completely enveloped the man.

The man's spirit was wrapped in a soft light, so that it was not burned by the scorching sun.

As the light grew, the tail faded away. Until a soft ball of light appeared on the mountain forest, enveloping the man's spirit and disappearing between heaven and earth. At the same moment, the white fox also followed, and was never found again.

This is the end of this story, which spans two planes.

When I woke up, the white fox was curled up beside me, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Because the white fox touched the memory gem on my body, its memories flowed into my dreams along the gem.

Thinking back to what I saw in my dream just now, I felt as if I had watched a movie, poignant and sad but also heartfelt.

Whether this love that spans thousands of years can be cultivated or not, it doesn't matter, but I later checked the information and learned that the male protagonist in the dream is Liang Jianwen, who is drowned in the torrent of history and rarely recorded in historical books.
