Chapter 19
"The day after tomorrow is her funeral, if you can still turn into a human form, I will take you there." Naranze said as he helped the fox change the dressing in his head.
Ye Yun wrinkled a fox face when he heard this, but he also knew that Nalan Ze was right, he just wanted to say goodbye, and he didn't want to make trouble at the other party's funeral, so this was the safest way.
It's just that when it comes to the human form, it's also Ye Yun's headache. I think when he was a human before, where did he think that it was so difficult to be a human being. Although the bloodline of this demon beast saved his life, he was also very domineering, and almost destroyed his own humanity. Now, although he has retained his humanity with the help of the fox fairy, he has to start from scratch in this cultivation, and there is no shortcut. The aura is sufficient, and it takes a hundred years for him to transform into a person to cultivate honestly, not to mention Ye Yun, who has been miserable all these years and can't cultivate well at all, has not yet come to the time, so like the half-hung human form last night, it is already his limit.
Ye Yun raised his head and shook his head at Nalan Ze, and then fell back into the quilt and turned himself into a hairball, slightly bald.
There is no way, he has been locked up and injured for the past few days, and the hour last night has exhausted the only remaining spiritual power in his body, and if he wants to recover the day after tomorrow, I am afraid it will be too late anyway.
"I know you ran out of spiritual power yesterday. But as long as you can turn into a human form, I can give you spiritual power to help you maintain it. You take this Qi Gathering Pill first, and you will be able to recuperate today. Seeing Ye Yun's appearance, Nalan Ze knew what he was worried about, but since he already had a human form that did not reject spiritual power, there was a way. Although he wants to maintain a human form for demon cultivation, the spiritual power is not small, but he is already in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and he is already ready to wait for Ye Yun to catch up with his progress, and then cultivate back after consuming it.
Ye Yun glanced at Nalan Ze gratefully, then swallowed the pill, sat upright and grasped the cultivation.
Nalan Ze had never seen the cultivation of spirit beasts, a fox was stretched like a clay puppet, and it looked quite interesting, I wanted to poke and poke it, but I had to hold back.
The day passed quickly, and the little fox was well fed and helped by the elixir, and finally was able to transform into a human form. It's a pity that the ears and tails are still there, so I have to wear a square scarf on my head as a cover.
"Is this really not going to be discovered? The dogs in the village have very smart noses. Although people can't recognize themselves, dogs will still bark at them, and Ye Yun is worried that the villagers will be suspicious because of this.
Nalan Ze stretched out his hand to hold Ye Yun's hand, slowly but steadily injecting spiritual power, feeling Ye Yun's stiffness and subconscious dodging, he frowned and said, "Don't move, otherwise you will have to change back." ”
"Is it really okay to do this?" Although Ye Yun used to go to the Chu Pavilion of the Red Mansion to listen to music and drink, but after all, it was more than fifty years ago, and there was only the master alone in the secret realm, and after ten years of people shouting and beating out of the secret realm, he had not been in contact with people like this for a long time, and his memory seemed to have returned to the moment when he was dependent on this person for life and death many years ago, and the thought of him begging for a hug in shame made him feel embarrassed.
Nalan Ze watched Ye Yun's face change back and forth, sweat was oozing from the tip of his nose, and he just wanted to ask what was uncomfortable, but he suddenly remembered that this was probably the second time they held hands, and the first time was when Nalan Ze forcibly pulled Ye Yun to lose his spiritual power, and as a result, Ye Yun, who was a myeloid eater ant at the time, vomited blood and fell into a coma.
Shaking his head and negating this answer, Nalan Ze felt that the reliable answer was probably that the spiritual power had lost a lot, Ye Yun's body was a little weak, and he had planned to lose more so that Ye Yun could act on his own, but it seemed that he could only take his time, this hand, I am afraid that he would not be able to let go for a while.
The funeral in the countryside is early, and the wind will start before dawn, and the day will begin to send the spirit. So it will definitely not be able to catch up with it, although it is still uncomfortable, but Ye Yun has to let Nalan Ze grab his hand and fly over with his back, the same scene as many years ago, fortunately, this time it is not an escape.
"You're so powerful, what kind of sect are you? When the secret realm collapsed, Master sent me out and said that you would come back to me after a hundred years. But I came out early, and I wanted to look for you, but then I remembered that I didn't know where to look. Lying on Nalan Ze, Ye Yun suddenly had mixed feelings, he wanted to try his luck everywhere, but he was afraid that he would really leave here, and Nalan Ze would not find him when he came. As a result, he waited year after year, sometimes when he was very hungry or uncomfortable, although he didn't know why he never thought that Naranze would lie to him, but he felt that he really couldn't last the remaining fifty or sixty years, and he was a little disheartened.
"Condensing Moon Sect." Nalan Ze's tone did not change, but there were waves in his heart, listening to Ye Yun's meaning, the hundred-year covenant was told by the fox fairy, and he had no impression of life in the Ning Yue Sect, so Ye Yun's memory may still stop at the last night when he became a fox? This doesn't mean that the covenant of the Taoist couple under the cliff of the Xifu Sect has no memory without a doubt.
No wonder Ye Yun saw him this time and returned to his previous appearance.
But finding this person again is more important than anything else.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and soon arrived at Luoxia Village, where Lin Gu was already waiting for them at the entrance of the village.
There were a few people sitting in the mourning hall of the eldest lady, and although her gambler's son was dressed in linen and filial piety, he was shy and looked for the man who was going to carry the coffin for a while. When Nalan Ze and Ye Yun entered, although they attracted attention, Lin Gu said that he was here to get rid of the demonic qi, so no one paid attention to them anymore, not even tea.
Nalan Ze took Ye Yun's hand, and was clenched hard by Ye Yun, who was extremely uncalm in his heart, and solemnly thanked the old man lying on the mourning hall in his heart.
Soon the sky was already bright, and when it was time to send the spirit, it was inconvenient for the two to appear again, so they had to follow secretly.
It is said that it is a blowing and sending the spirit, but it is just a suona hand in the village to lead the way in front, all the way to the mountain grave outside the village, the shabby thin wooden coffin was carried by two villagers, one of whom did not seem to have woken up, and was almost slipped by the rocks.
Seeing this, Ye Yun almost rushed over, but fortunately he was stopped by Nalan Ze in time. Of course, Nalanze would not let the coffin fall to the ground, and sent a spiritual wind to straighten the villager, which frightened the originally sleepy villager, and suddenly woke up and couldn't wake up again.
A group of people hastily buried the coffin and went down the mountain, and the son who looked filial and wanted to break the fox demon into pieces did not look at the old man's grave.
Nalan Ze let Ye Yun lead him over, watched Ye Yun kneel down, took out a withered yellow straw grasshopper from his arms, and gently placed it in front of the old man's grave, without saying a word.
"I only know that her surname is Li, and the people in the village call her Aunt Li, her husband died when she was young, and the remaining orphans and widows make a living by weaving some baskets and dustpans, how much is that thing worth? I don't know how she came over when she was young, when I met her, she was already very old, but she still made it up day and night, wanting to save some money for her son to marry a daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect to neglect discipline, and my son became addicted to gambling. After a long time, Ye Yun finally spoke, as if he was talking to Nalan Ze, but it was more like talking to himself, "The villagers are right, there are jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain, I had to steal chickens and dogs at the bottom of the mountain to survive, but every family has a dog, which is very fierce and painful, and finally found her house for me, and there are often food leftovers in the kitchen without dogs." Later, I learned that her food was reserved for the gambler's son who returned late, and she didn't keep a dog because she couldn't afford it. I ate those things, and when my son came home hungry, I lost my temper with her. I felt guilty and always made up my mind not to hurt her again, but after ten days and half a month, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to go again. I peeked at her weaving baskets many times, and I wanted to secretly weave some for her while she was asleep, but it was too difficult and wasted her materials. Later, I followed her and identified the place where she picked the grass, and I often picked it and sent it to her. After a long time, I knew that she had discovered that the extra materials could not have been prepared by the unfilial son, but she never said anything, but would prepare more food for me. “
Nalan Ze saw Ye Yun kneeling on the ground looking at the old man's tombstone with blank eyes, and listened to him talk about his life in the past ten years, and his heart was so distressed.
"Ten years have passed, I am afraid that she has never been transformed in front of her, she only raised me as a self-cooked fox, talked to me, told me not to always send grass over, let me take the grass back in the nest on snowy days, and make some grasshoppers and butterflies for me to play with. I think if I had a mother, I would be like her. “
Worried that Ye Yun's legs would be unbearable after kneeling for a long time, Nalan Ze gently lifted the person up, hugged him in his arms, and patted his back gently. Speaking of his mother, his mother-in-law comforted him like this when he was a child.
Xu is legs stiffened, Ye Yun, who was still immersed in memories, did not dodge as usual, his chin slammed on Nalan Ze's shoulder and continued: "She is too old, she can't weave the basket, and she fell ill before spring, I picked ginseng and wanted to treat her, but I didn't expect to be seen by his son, not only did he not give her food, but also sold the ginseng for gambling money, I didn't have the ability to find a second root, I wanted her son to redeem the ginseng, but I was treated as a murderous monster and arrested." ”
Nalan Ze patiently listened to Ye Yun's words, let go of the hand he had been holding, took out the bald little fox in a pile of clothes, held it in his arms and rubbed his head Shunshun hair, felt the placket on his chest gradually wet, and only sighed and left here.
It's not that he doesn't have enough spiritual power and can't support Ye Yun's human form, but that Ye Yun in human form is probably used to patience and likes to hold everything in his heart, but it is the form of a fox, probably influenced by the nature of beasts, and his self-control ability is not so strong.
When you're sad, it's better to cry out than to hold it in your heart.
Ye Yun's words stopped when he was caught by the villagers, he didn't say what he would do if Nalan Ze didn't appear, and he didn't explain why he didn't recognize Nalan Ze, but sneaked away.
But Naranze knew in his heart that the things that were not explained were that he almost missed this person again.
