The direction of the hot spring pool was still fiery red, and the scorching air was filled with the smell of burning.

Tang Bai said: "Senior Sister Xu, are your injuries healed?"

Xu Xiaosan smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to talk about, communicating with the fire spirit before, consuming a lot of divine thoughts, that Helian Yunzi's cultivation is above me, and he can escape with his life, thanks to his junior brother, if not, I am afraid that he will be wiped out in front of the power of heaven and earth." ”

"Helian Yunzi?!"

Tang Bai wondered.

"The son of the hero of Helian from the Fire Peak. After speaking, he said: "Helian Hero is the Supreme Elder of the sect, and he has been married to the Holy Fetus for many years, and he is only one step away from the return of the three souls. ”

Tang Bai couldn't help but smile, it was another strange name.

Xu Xiaosan sighed lightly, and said with regret: "It's just a little bit, I was broken by Helian Yunzi, it's really hateful." ”

"That Helian Yunzi didn't get the Innate Fire Spirit. After Tang Bai finished speaking, he said, "Strange, where did the snow-white gourd and ice lotus behind the innate fire spirit come from?"

Xu Xiaosan couldn't help but be stunned, she was already in a coma at that time, she didn't see the battle in the sky, and couldn't help but look at Tang Bai suspiciously.

Tang Bai recounted the scene he saw, Xu Xiaosan couldn't help laughing, and said: "Helian Yunzi lost his wife and broke his soldiers, that Xuehu is the treasure of Helian Hero, and that Ice Lotus is the treasure of Yi Zichu, the Taishang Elder of Kangong Peak. ”

Tang Bai smiled and said: "Heaven and earth treasures, pay attention to chance, I don't think senior sister should be forced, this time the innate fire spirit was born, I am afraid that it will cause a bloody storm, if the fire spirit is really related to you, it will still fall into your hands in the future." ”

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss, and the way of man is not enough to give more than enough; it is because I am persistent and greedy, and I almost lost my life. ”

Tang Bai is silent, the avenue of heaven and man, each has its own merits, and it makes sense to be able to coexist in the world, and he doesn't dare to say anything.

The two were silent for a while, and at the foot of the hill, a little girl of seven or eight years old, dressed in a floral cotton coat, with two pigtails, carrying a small bamboo blue, humming a country tune, jumped on the ridge, and was running towards the hill; from time to time she picked a wild flower and pinned it on her head, and soon reached the top of the mountain. When he saw Tang Bai, he was stunned timidly, and then looked at Xu Xiaosan next to him, only to feel that his appearance was terrifyingly ugly, and he cried with a 'wow'. Then he threw away the bamboo blue in his hand, covered his eyes with both hands, spread his feet and ran, and accidentally got his feet mixed with rattans, and he was about to fall to the ground, but Tang Bai's body moved, and he was already holding him in his arms.

Xu Xiaosan was a little helpless, and then wiped it on his face, and the ugly face was gone, and he became an ordinary-looking woman.

Tang Bai was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that Xu Xiaosan had a magic weapon to change his appearance, he was curious, his eyes flashed, and a face as beautiful as a fairy appeared in front of him, his nose was like Qiong Yao, his ears were like jade, his teeth were like braided shells, his lips were like painted Zhu, his willow eyebrows were bent, his eyes were clear, his brilliance was shining, and his slightly cold expression was simply like a fairy, and he was absolutely beautiful in the world.

Xu Xiaosan seemed to feel something, Tang Bai's straight eyes, the pupils of his eyes were like purple beads, making him feel as if he was naked, his pretty face was red, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed in his heart, so he slapped his palm and hit Tang Bai directly.

It's just that she is seriously injured, and although Tang Bai is angry and rude in her heart, she has no intention of teaching a lesson, just acting like a pretense, and her palm posture seems to be Ling Li, but she has no strength.

Tang Bai came to his senses, his body moved, and he dodged, but his mouth said, "Senior Sister Xu, what's going on with your face?"

When Xu Xiaosan heard this, he glared at Tang Bai coldly, and said, "Knowingly ask, don't think that I don't know that your eyes are weird, if you look at me with the kind of eyes just now, I will gouge out your eyes." After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Tang Bai, but walked over and whispered: "Little sister, don't cry, we are not Huanren, tell my sister, what is your name." ”

The little girl let go of her fingers and opened a small slit, and saw an unfamiliar face appear in front of her, no longer scary, and there was less fear in her heart, she turned her head timidly to look at the place where Xu Xiaosan was standing just now, and saw that there was no one there, so she let go of her little hand with sobs, looked at Tang Bai and the two pitifully, and said in a thin voice: "I... It's called white... Zhenzhen is seven years old this year. ”

"Why did you come here alone? What about your family?" Tang Bai asked in a low voice.

The little girl broke away from Tang Bai's embrace and said, "Today, my mother said to eat the noodles and asked me to pick up some mushrooms to make ingredients, the wild mushrooms on this mountain are delicious." After speaking, he swallowed his saliva, the horror on his face was much lighter, and his eyes were a little more bright.

When Tang Bai heard this, his heart moved, and he looked at Xu Xiaosan and said: "Senior Sister Xu, we have nowhere to go for the time being, this place is not far from the sect, when the sect master takes office, there is just time to rush back, you are seriously injured, it is better to go to that small village to heal the injury!"

Xu Xiaosan nodded and said, "That's the only way to do it, but the bloody qi in your body is still so strong, and it's only two months before the ceremony, how can you cover it up then?"

Tang Bai was a little helpless, he had been practicing day and night these times, but the evil thoughts of knowing the sea had not disappeared at all, but there was a bloodthirsty desire in his heart, such as hunger and food, such as longing for water, although he had a firm mind, but he made his heart uncomfortable;

He pondered for a while, and complained a little angrily: "In fact, there is no good or evil in the exercises, good or bad lies in people's hearts, the truth is so simple, the elders of the sect are all cultivators, so I don't understand." ”

When Xu Xiaosan heard this, his eyes were cold, and he looked at Tang Bai coldly and said: "Not to mention that the sect is like a mountain, it has been like this since the patriarch founded the sect, it is not aimed at you alone, and it is impossible to change it because of you; After speaking, he said: "Maybe it is a wrong decision to let you continue to practice the Dafa of the Witch Body, you are not strong-minded, it is a matter of time before you enter the demon, I don't think there is any need to go to the village to recuperate, just arrest you back to the sect, hand it over to the Hall of Merit, dissipate your anger, and purify your soul." ”

Xu Xiaosan was angry, and the aura around him also became depressed, so frightened that the little girl next to her retreated again and again, was accidentally stirred, sat down on the ground, and cried again.

Tang Bai didn't expect Xu Xiaosan to be so serious, and said with a little embarrassment: "Senior Sister Xu, don't be angry, I have no choice for a while, angry words, why be serious, you see, it scares children." ”

Xu Xiaosan sighed lightly and said, "This is not a trivial matter, it is not careless, you also need to remember that there are thousands of evils in demon cultivation, don't be confused by its appearance in the future." After speaking, he squatted down, hugged Bai Zhenzhen in his arms, and comforted him gently: "Little sister, don't cry, my sister will help you find mushrooms, and then send you home, okay?"

The little girl was just a stranger at first, but after getting a little familiar with each other, she became much bolder, and remembered that her mother was still waiting for the mushroom to be noodles, but she also stopped crying and nodded.

Tang Bai didn't want to talk to Xu Xiaosan about blood again, for fear of making her angry again, he happened to see some milky white things in the root rattan, like a small umbrella, growing together in clusters, and couldn't help but grab some of them, put them on the end of his nose and smell them, only to feel a unique fragrance secreting into his heart, making people have a great appetite, and then looked at Bai Zhenzhen and asked, "Little girl, is this the mushroom you said?"

Bai Zhenzhen nodded, broke away from Xu Xiaosan's embrace, picked up the bamboo blue that fell not far away, and also looked for it in the grove.

After a while, she found a lot, and she said very happily: "Enough, enough, all of them have been picked up, and there will be no food next time." Then he smiled shyly and said, "Sister, uncle, don't you go to my house to play." "The smile in the tears was very cute.

Tang Bai smiled: "We happen to be hungry and want to taste the noodles in Xiaozhen's house, are you welcome!"

The little girl was a little embarrassed and said, "There are not many noodles, I don't know if there are enough... Finally, he swallowed his saliva again, and said crisply: "When the time comes, I will eat less and give you some." With that, he led down the mountain.

Xu Xiaosan saw Tang Bai following behind Bai Zhenzhen, one big and one small talking non-stop, frowned, and slowly followed behind the two.

The three of them went out of the forest and went down the mountain along the sheep intestine path; on both sides of the path were patches of sandy soil like gold, one grain after another, and one foot stepped on it, like stepping on cotton, which was very soft; and then along the canal, passing through acres of fertile fields; although there was no rice in the fertile fields, they were full of water, and there were grass floating in them, and occasionally fish could be seen shuttling in the water, stirring up the water in the fields. Not far away, an old farmer led a big buffalo to drink water on the ridge, and when he saw Tang Bai and the others, he shouted: "Xiao Zhen'er, which girl's daughter and tooth boy are behind you?"

Bai Zhenzhen stopped and said crisply: "Grandpa Park, this is my uncle and sister who I met in the mountains, who helped me pick up a lot of mushrooms, and I took them home to eat noodles." After speaking, he said: "I'll go to the school to play with Brother Xiao Ming later." ”

The old peasant smiled and said, "It's a foreigner! I just saw Xiao Ming counting ants in the corner of the old house, and he may have been driven out by the master again, so go and find him over there!"

Bai Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, and muttered to herself: "Brother Xiao Ming was kicked out of the school by his master again. After speaking, he said to Tang Bai and the two: "Uncle, sister, let's go quickly!"

The three of them said as they walked, the little girl no longer had the slightest fear, chattering like a little sparrow, from the things in her own family to the interesting things in the village, and to the games that her friends often played, she spoke clearly, and her voice was immature and pleasant, so that people did not feel bored at all.

Not long after walking, I entered the village, the road was paved with bluestones of different sizes, and there were more people, a group of four or five-year-old children chased unscrupulously in the alleys, the men went out with hoes, the women gathered together to chat, and saw Bai Zhenzhen leading Tang Bai and Xu Xiaosan to her house, and they couldn't help but ask; although Bai Zhenzhen was still young, she also answered properly.

After passing a few alleys, turning and turning, a small courtyard appeared in front of me, and the mud walls of the bamboo gate were ordinary, no different from other houses in the village.

The little girl said happily: "Here, this is my home!" As soon as she finished speaking, the bamboo door opened from the inside, and out came a woman in her twenties, dressed in a patched green cloth shirt wrapped around her curvaceous body, tied her hair with a green scarf, her facial features looked very delicate; she looked at the two people behind Bai Zhenzhen, and Xiuya's face was slightly surprised.
