Chapter 9: My Name
"Ah~" I couldn't control my scream, and I raised my paw and slapped the thing on my face away. But before I could see what it was, it stuck up again, and looked at me face to face.
In the light of the Night Pearl, I saw a hairy face and two bony eyes. I was so frightened that I slammed the thing away again, and jumped to the ground in a hurry.
The room suddenly went dark, and the thing took the only pearl of the night and jumped out of the open window. I wanted to cry without tears, my whole body was shaking, the room was dark, and I didn't know if the thing would come back.
"Chihiro, help me!" I instinctively shouted, my voice shaking.
The wooden door slammed open, and a figure came in with a faint light outside the door.
"What's the matter, where's the Night Pearl in the house?" The figure spoke, it was Chiman.
Like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw, I hurriedly ran to Chihiro's feet, and then I felt a sense of security.
"Just now...... Yes...... There's something running into my house, it's it...... Took away the pearl of the night. I raised my head and said to Chihiro, moved, and pressed hard against his feet.
Qian Fan bent down and picked me up, who was still trembling, put me on the bed, and said in a flat tone, "What kind of thing is it?"
"It's furry, I can't see it clearly." I said.
Qian Fan didn't speak, probably thinking about what it was, and said later, "Maybe it's a monkey!" It's so high that ordinary animals don't climb up. Why didn't you close the window when you slept. With that, he went to the window and closed it.
"I didn't expect animals to come in." I said aggrievedly, I don't remember that I was also an animal.
"Okay, go to bed early, I'll go get you a night pearl again."
Qian Fan went out, took a night pearl at the staircase at the door, came in and put it in the tray on the table, and then went back downstairs to sleep.
And I, after the scare just now, soberly even remember what I ate tonight. When I think of the dark window, I don't feel sleepy, and I don't know what is hidden in the dark......
I lay in bed for a long time, and I didn't dare to sleep, but I had to sleep well tonight, and at dinner, Chihiro said that from tomorrow onwards, he would start teaching me the basics of cultivation. If I don't sleep well, how will I practice what he taught tomorrow!
So I counted the stars, but I couldn't help but look at the window that had been closed by Qianfan.
When I didn't know how to pick up the next number I counted, the window finally lit up, and I was finally sleepy, and just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a shout from Qianfan downstairs.
"Little fox, get up, I'll get it all done soon."
I opened my two lead-filled eyelids, and reluctantly climbed up, realizing that I had now become human.
Stumbled downstairs and staggered to the dining room, where he saw Chihiro drinking porridge.
"Morning!" I greeted him and took another bowl of porridge on the table and drank it.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, I felt less sleepy, and when I put down the bowl, Chihiro had already finished drinking it, and at this time I was holding a cup of tea and drinking it in my hand.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Chishiro asked me.
"Not good!" I said it truthfully.
Qian Fan didn't answer again, but changed the topic: "From today, I will start to teach you some cultivation methods, if you want to maintain your human form in the future, you can learn from me."
I nodded, it doesn't get any more seductive than this.
After dinner, Chihiro took me to a small waterfall that was right behind the hill where we lived. Since the hill was much taller than where we lived, it was a bit far from the waterfall, so we couldn't hear the waterfall in the same mountain.
We sat cross-legged by the waterhole where the waterfall fell, and Qian Fan said that the first thing to do in practicing immortal arts is to meditate, and only by having no other things can we achieve the unity of heaven and man.
This reminds me of the monks in Mingjing Temple, who knew that practicing immortal arts should also meditate like monks, and then it was time to practice with those monks, so that now I can save a lot of time.
The waterfall crashed into the pool with a "bang" in our ears, and the splash hit us, but we didn't feel cold at all.
After only sitting for a while, I began to be a little unable to sit still, and my eyelids secretly opened a slit to look at Qianfan opposite, and saw that he was sitting there upright, as if he was settled, and my hand secretly reached into the water.
This water is so comfortable and warm, but I'm still not sure if Qianfan has really settled down. Withdrawing my hand, I shook it twice in front of Qianfan's eyes, and a drop of water flew to Qianfan's face.
I gasped, he was teaching me how hard he was, if he knew that I was so bad, he would definitely scold me, maybe he wouldn't teach me in the future. This is not going to work, so I quickly sit upright and calm down.
However, a new problem came again, and when I calmed down, I felt sleepy again. At this time, I remembered that the monks in Mingjing Temple sometimes sleep by sitting, or I will try it too.
My heart is getting more and more confused, and I think it won't be long before I fall asleep. Suddenly, I crooked, a mouthful of water choked into my lungs, and almost immediately I woke up, and I fell into the pool. But I can't swim!
I wanted to shout to Qianfan to save me, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I poured down a mouthful of water. I fluttered, and suddenly my body lightened, and when I came back to my senses, I was already on the shore.
A huge cough hit, and I bent over and coughed breathlessly, and the fox fur clothes on my body were soaked.
A hand patted me lightly on the back a few times, and then I heard Qianfan say, "Why can you fall into the water even if you meditate, what are you doing?"
I was extremely aggrieved, stopped coughing, and said, "Can you blame me, I didn't sleep in the second half of the night last night."
"So what are you doing?" Chiho frowned.
"I just can't sleep!" After saying that, I coughed again.
"Then forget it for today, you go to sleep." Qian Fan said helplessly.
"Brother Fairy, you are so good!" I was so excited that I jumped up, put my arms around Chihiro's neck and kissed him on the cheek.
Qian Fan quietly let me do whatever I wanted, and as soon as I let go of my hand, he said, "Good spirits, you don't have to sleep, do you?"
I immediately quieted down, rubbed my eyes, and said, "I'm still going to sleep."
After finishing speaking, he walked the way he came, and Qian Fan behind him suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
I felt a sigh in my heart, is this to recall that I won't let me sleep? It didn't work, I was really sleepy, so I pretended I didn't hear and kept walking.
The figure in front of him flickered, and a voice came down: "Little fox, I told you not to hear?"
I stopped, looked up at Qianfan, who was a head taller than me, and pretended to be innocent and said, "No." After finishing it, he remembered a stalk and said, "Can you not call me a little fox?" I have a name, my name is Qin Yan. ”
"Qin Yan? A name from a past life? Chihiro said.
I nodded earnestly. Qian Fan shook his head and said, "I think you have to change your name, Qin Yan no longer exists, and now it's your new life."
Now I was worried, and said, "Then what is my name, I don't want to hear you call me a little fox again."
Qian Fan stared at me with his eyes as clear as a lake, staring at me in a trance for a while, these eyes are really the same as Qiao Wenqing and General Lu? I'm a little unsure.
"You are a white fox, so take Bai as your surname, and change the fox's raccoon dog to the dawn of dawn."
Chihiro's voice pulled my consciousness back. I nodded, in agreement. I couldn't help but sneeze, Qianfan raised his hand and waved it in front of me, and I was as dry as ever.
"Go to sleep!" The soft voice of a thousand times came to my ears.
