In a headache that became more intense than a while, Tang Lin slowly closed his eyes. It was like a glass covered with a layer of mist gradually being wiped transparent, and the memories that had sunk in the depths of his mind slowly emerged, becoming clear little by little.

…… He remembered that they really shouldn't have met at this time.

The meeting between him and Xiao Zibai should have been earlier, earlier, when he had just broken out of his shell, Xiao Zibai was six and a half years old, in an unknown cave, a person and a bird, and met for the first time.

As vivid memories came back to his mind, there was a soft "bang" in his ears, as if something had shattered.

Tang Lin opened his eyes suddenly, a little sad and a little abruptly watching as the surrounding Qiē gradually turned into a hazy mist. Computers, mobile phones, bookshelves, beds, ...... The familiar room spilled open like ink under his gaze, tumbling into a chaotic dust.

"Original...... It's just a demon on my mind. Tang Lin muttered, watching the gray fog disappear in front of his eyes, and suddenly smiled to himself.

Back in the modern era, back in time when nothing happened yet, back in time before the time travel...... He didn't expect that he would have such a deep obsession with "returning to the beginning" in his heart.

After all, he has lived in the 21st century for a full twenty-two years. The fried dumplings with bean brains in the small shop downstairs, the traffic on the street in front of the door, the shade of the trees in front of the library, and the chirping of cicadas outside the window in summer...... This familiar trace of qiē has been quietly engraved in his bones, and it is not so easy to let go completely.

But Tang Lin still let go now, he had to let go: in the 21st century that he was familiar with, there was no child named Xiao Zibai.

"If I'm gone, the kid will be in a hurry." Tang Lin said softly, he took one last look at his body that he had used for twenty-two years, stretched out the sharp claw tips, and tore through the void in the sky.

On the bed in the Imperial Beast Sect, the unconscious Hua Yu Big Bird suddenly turned into a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

Tang Lin shook his body, straightened up from the bed, wiped his face blankly, and rubbed the black and yellow broken hair on his hand.

Hand? How can you have hands? Is it still in the illusion that he has never woken up? He lowered his head in surprise and stared at his hand.

…… In his memory, his hands should not have been like this.

The hand was slender and white, with no thin calluses, and the round nails were a beautiful pink, and Tang Lin's twenty-two years of use should have a layer of calluses on the knuckles of his middle finger, and the color of the nails should not be so beautiful and pure, but should have a little white dots—he was sure of it, because he had seen his nails once not long ago.

Tang Lin slowly tentatively opened his hand: slowly spread his fingers, stretched them flat, and then slowly bent them and put his five fingers together in the palm of his hand. The warmth of the palm touched by the slightly cool fingertips, which felt so vivid, it didn't look like a fake at all.

He looked up his hand, and saw his wrist peeking obliquely out of a turquoise-bottomed, multi-colored trimmed sleeve, and with a slight movement of his hand, there was a flow of brilliance on the fabric, faintly revealing a gorgeous and noble atmosphere. Tang Lin turned his head slightly, the black hair fell down his cheeks, he reached out to grab the strands of hair, and gently tugged at them: a slight pain came from his scalp.

This should be him, but not the one who has lived twenty-two years.

Tang Lin looked at the clothes on his body that were a little similar to the original feather color, and vaguely realized something, but then he was even more confused.

If he remembers correctly, the "Ah Xuan" in "Xiuzhen One Sword Annihilation" has never been transformed from beginning to end, if he wears it, how did he inexplicably become a human being?

Just when Tang Lin was puzzled, there was a sudden sound of gentle footsteps in the distance, Tang Lin's ears moved slightly, he raised his eyes and looked at the completely unfamiliar door in front of him.

The next moment, the door was opened, and a black-clothed boy with a milky yellow kitten in his arms walked in with a big grin.

He walked into the room with his head down, muttering in his mouth that he didn't know what he was talking about, Tang Lin didn't hear clearly--it was impossible to hear clearly, this young man was talking directly to the kitten in his arms with his spiritual sense, and his mouth was actually chewing melon seeds--he didn't raise his head the whole time, he walked straight towards Tang Lin closer and closer, seeing that he seemed to be about to crash into his arms, Tang Lin couldn't help but take a small step back diagonally.

As soon as Tang Lin moved, the black-clothed young man heard the movement in front of him and raised his head suddenly.

"Who are you? How did it end up here? After seeing Tang Lin, the black-clothed young man was even more surprised than Tang Lin, and he stepped back vigilantly, assuming a defensive posture on his hand.

Tang Lin hesitated: he didn't know how he was here. Just as he was worried about how to explain, the milky yellow kitten in the arms of the young man in black suddenly jumped high, stretched out his palm and slapped the young man in black on the head, then meowed, cocked his tail and pointed at Tang Lin, and then pointed to the empty bed.

The black-clothed young man's gaze slipped along the tip of the yellow cat's tail, dangling between the bed and Tang Lin, and then he slapped his head sharply, and suddenly smiled with realization: "Oh, it turns out that you have transformed into a shape!" Now it's okay, Kong Liu won't be angry anymore! ”

As he spoke, he turned around laughing and ran out with the kitten in his hand, shouting all the way: "Kong Liu! Kong Six! Come out! Good thing! ”

Tang Lin, who was forgotten by him in place and still dazed: ......

What the hell happened, did he somehow travel to another world? Is there anyone to help, this young man in black looks like a snake spirit disease!

*

After a cup of tea.

Knowing why he was here, Tang Lin sat on the chair silently, and the air pressure in the circle around his body was terrifyingly low. The black-clothed young man held the yellow-haired kitten and shrank behind the screen, looked up at Tang Lin, lowered his head and scratched the kitten's ears, and said to the cat quietly: "It's really worthy of being the descendant of Kong Liu's family, look at this momentum, and Kong Liu is printed in the same mold." ”

Kong Liu, who was leaning on the side and pouring tea, heard this, and glanced at him with a smile, and the young man in black immediately shuddered fiercely, and quickly stuffed the custard kitten in his hand to the side, and the seven tails hidden behind him were suddenly revealed six and a half.

Tang Lin glanced at the dahlias-like blooming tails behind him, twitched the corners of his mouth, lowered his eyelids expressionlessly, and turned the topic back to the original place: "...... So, you brought me here? How to stun me with a trap? ”

Kong Liu didn't answer his question directly, put down the teapot, and asked, "If you were asked to go with me directly, would you come?" ”

After being silent for a while, Tang Lin replied honestly, "No." ”

"I guessed, that's why I stunned you in advance." Kong Liu took a sip of tea slowly, stretched out his fingers and knocked on the table, and waited until Tang Lin Xunsheng focused his gaze on him before he said in a leisurely manner: "You are still a cub, so I probably don't know how ...... the demon clan is in the cultivation realm Popular. ”

He showed a sarcastic smile, put down the teacup and pointed at Tang Lin: "You may not know how valuable you are, the feathers, eyes, bones, beak, and claws on your body...... All of them can be refined into magic weapons, flesh and blood can be alchemy or made into vegetables, demon pills can be eaten to improve cultivation, and even your divine soul may be eaten as a tonic. ”

"The demon clan has been in decline for many years, and there are not many big demons with high cultivation, and even fewer juniors who have opened spiritual wisdom. Many little demons haven't even been born yet, and they were killed in the process of cultivating into demons, you are still lucky, born in a small place where there are no cultivators, if you are born in some famous mountains and rivers, I am afraid that you will be discovered as soon as possible and made into a dish. ”

"If you don't open your mind, if you open your mind and I perceive it, I can't let you go." Kong Liu said, slowly smiling, with a little indifference in his expression: "You shouldn't know why I'm called Kong Liu, right?" My name is Kong Liu because I was the sixth of the peacock eggs hatched, and I was the youngest with five siblings on it. ”

As he spoke, his eyelashes closed slightly, Tang Lin couldn't see the expression in his eyes clearly, and only heard Kong Liu say lightly: "...... However, now I am the only one Kong Liu, and the others are all dead, and there is no one left. ”

The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze for a while, and there was a suffocating silence in the air, and Kong Liu opened his eyes, and the expression on his face became cold. Tang Lin frowned slightly: he had just discovered that Kong Liu's eyes were actually blood-red, and he looked faintly fierce.

"How fortunate we are that six of our brothers and sisters have all opened their minds; How unfortunate it is that our nest of peacocks was born near Lingchuan. ”

Lingchuan ...... Sounds familiar. Tang Lin frowned: he couldn't remember where he had heard of Lingchuan.

Kong Liu paused, probably seeing Tang Lin's doubts, and explained simply: "There is a Xiuzhen sect near Lingchuan, which doesn't seem to be very strong now, but at that time, we ...... I don't even know what cultivation is, and I'm not the opponent of the people in that sect at all. ”

"The demon clan who has just opened the spiritual wisdom does not know how to restrain the demonic energy, and they don't know how to hide it when absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, in the eyes of the cultivators, it is as conspicuous as a spark in the dark, and our six peacocks have opened their spiritual wisdom, and it looks like a flame." Kong Liu shook his head and smiled lightly bitterly: "Now think about it, if we don't die, who will die?" I live near the Xiuzhen sect, and I am so conspicuous all day long......"

The black-clothed young man turned into a fox, silently lay on Kong Liu's lap, and licked Kong Liu's hand with his soft tongue, Kong Liu looked at the fox and was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Tang Lin: "Although the place where you are is remote, there are occasionally some cultivators who will pass by, so I want to take you away." Rather than wasting time with you outside, I'd rather explain to you when I'm in a safe place. ”

Tang Lin thought for a while, pursed his lips, and said after considering the words: "I don't mean to complain about anything...... It's just that in the place where I used to live, there is another very important person, I left him completely unaware of this time, maybe he will think that something happened to me......" He paused and lowered his eyes slightly: "I just want to say goodbye to him, at least to report peace to him." ”

"Very important...... Person? Kong Liu slowly raised his eyebrows, his appearance was already a little fierce in his beauty, such an eyebrow raised was even more obvious, and the coercion belonging to the peerless demon spread silently. The yellow-haired kitten unconsciously shrank under his coercion, but Tang Lin straightened up, stood firmly in place, looked at Kong Liu's eyes, and said word by word, "Not bad, a very, very important person." ”

The coercion emanating from Kong Liu's body became more and more intense, Tang Lin pursed his lips and looked directly at him, and the room fell into a deathly silence.

The black-haired fox jumped deftly and jumped onto Kong Liu's body, looking at Tang Lin with a pair of eyes with a little condemnation, and the furry fox tail gently stroked Kong Liu's back.

Kong Liu looked at Tang Lin fixedly for a long time, and suddenly reined in the momentum on his body, Tang Lin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense back relaxed a little.

A finger pointed at the cold tea, and a cup of tea was evaporated by Kong Liu's understatement. He half-sat on the couch and slowly began to make tea for himself again, and while brewing, he said to Tang Lin without raising the corners of his eyes: "You will regret it." ”

"The very important person you are talking about is the Terran who lives with you, right?" Kong Liu picked up the teapot that was placed aside, and steadily poured boiling water into the cup, and the tea leaves spread out at the bottom of the cup, revealing a faint aroma: "That human race has a high cultivation talent, and his luck is also strong, and he will cultivate immortals in the future." ”

Kong Liu put the teapot aside, slowly rubbed the wall of the cup with his fingertips, stared at the white mist floating in front of him, and said without being salty or light: "You demon clan, but in the eyes of the cultivator, you are a good material, and your friendship with him is tantamount to a child's daughter walking in the downtown ......."

He raised his eyelids, glanced at Tang Lin, and said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Guess, when he discovers your value one day, will he attack you?" ”

Tang Lin's fists were clenched tightly, and his round and beautiful nails were hard, pinching his palms painfully.

"He won't." Tang Lin said in a low voice, his voice was so low that it was almost a whisper, I don't know if he said it to Kong Liu, or to himself.

Kong Liu sneered softly, and the fox slipped off of him and ran into his arms, Kong Liu hugged him skillfully and handed him a small handful of melon seeds.

"He doesn't do anything to you, just because you are still useful to him, wait for the day when you are useless......" Kong Liu touched the furry back of the fox in his arms, and deliberately dragged the end of the words long, leaving people with infinite space for reverie.

Tang Lin closed his eyes, and he whispered, "So you won't agree to me going back, will you?" ”

Kong Liu didn't answer, just laughed softly. He picked up the steaming teacup, took a sip from it, and suddenly said, "A-Ning, remember to teach him the method of transforming people." ”

"Ah...... Yes? The black-haired fox in his arms raised his head in confusion, and there were two pieces of melon seed skin on the tip of his nose.

"Walking outside, you must not reveal your identity as a demon, and you will go after learning the method of transforming into a human." Kong Liu lowered his head and scraped the floating dust on the tea water with the lid of the cup: "Boy, you remember, if you reveal your identity outside...... I'll kill you with my own hands. ”

The last sentence was said by him with a murderous aura, Kong Liu's slender eyes were flushed with a faint blood, anyone could hear that this was not a joke, but Tang Lin laughed slowly under this murderous aura.

"Thank you."

Tang Lin said softly.

Kong Liu put the teacup down with a "snap", and roared impatiently: "Get out of here!" ”

Tang Lin saluted Kong Liu, the black-haired fox glanced back at Kong Liu, jumped to the ground with his tail swing, shook his body, turned into a young man in black, and pulled Tang Lin to walk outside the house. Not long after leaving, the young man in black suddenly exclaimed, "Oops! I left Erhuang in it! ”

Inside the house, Er Huang, who was "left behind", jumped on several cases, looked up at the expressionless Kong Liu, and asked cautiously: "...... You okay? ”

Kong Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the hot teacup in his hand, and said a little coldly: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Er Huang looked at his expression, wanted to say something, but stopped stiffly, and finally only said: "You don't have to think too much." ”

Kong Liu did not speak.

The milky kitten quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Kong Liu's arm. His eyes were very keen, and through the sunlight, he could faintly see a hideous scar under the white clothing.

-- The one who left this scar on Kong Liu was a human being.
