Chapter 9: The Soul of Nature

"All things are connected, all laws are compatible, this is the "Ten Thousand Phases Heart Law" that I created with my life's work. You and I are destined to teach you this mental method. ”

A voice appeared in Li Xuetian's mind. He was holding a jade talisman in his hand, shining brightly, as if it was the old man's inheritance, and he wanted to teach him a mental method.

An inexplicable force was released from the jade talisman and entered Xue Tian's body to search for spiritual veins. However, unexpectedly, the power wandered around his body a few times, but he did not find the spiritual vein, and soon returned to the jade talisman in disappointment.

"Little one, I'm sorry you can't accept my legacy. ”

The light of the jade rune disappeared, and there was no longer a reaction.

"What were you just doing?" the fox asked, seeing his strange appearance.

"Forehead......" Xue Tian bit his fingers, a little embarrassed, "Old Mr. Fang Cai seems to want to teach me his mental method, but I disappointed him and failed to accept the inheritance." ”

The fox ran to Xue Tian, afraid that he would be upset, and comforted: "It's okay, you will find a heart method that suits you." ”

Li Xuetian didn't care too much.

"Since I can't accept the inheritance of the old man, then I will leave my heart here and wait for someone who really belongs to him. ”

"You don't need it yourself, you can use it to give it away later!" suggested the fox.

Xue Tian shook his head, he believed that fate was such a thing, and the person the old gentleman was waiting for must be on the way to come. He went into the hut, put the jade talisman on the table, thought about it, went out and said to the fox:

"I want to leave something for the inheritor of the old gentleman, after all, the old gentleman is kind to us. ”

"I want to keep you, and I won't return what I took!"

“......”

At night, Xue Tian was bathing in the river, and the fox was watching from the side, mainly because of his current cultivation, worried that he would be dragged away by the monsters in the water.

"It's so comfortable, I haven't taken a shower for several days, and I can rub a layer of mud on my body. ”

"Hurry up! You smell so big, beware of attracting all the monsters in the water!" the fox lay on his stomach on the shore, a little impatient.

"Alright, alright, I'm going to come up and get dressed, you turn around. ”

"Hypocrisy!" the fox turned and rolled his eyes.

Xue Tian found an old gentleman's clothes to wear, it looked a little big, no way, he is only fourteen years old now, and he has not grown yet.

He sat down on the stone, and as he dried his hair, he said, "Little fox, you haven't told me your name yet. ”

Xuetian used to want to have long hair, but his mother didn't like it and didn't allow him to keep it, so he always had short hair.

"I'm a fox, that's what the old gentleman calls me. ”

"The name fox is too broad and inappropriate, so why don't you call you Xiaobai!"

The fox glared at him: "Don't think I don't know it's a name for a dog!"

“......”

"My name is Li Xuetian. ”

Lying on his back on a stone on a snowy day, with the moon hidden behind dark clouds, he didn't have to worry about any dizziness.

"Hmm"

The fox flicked its tail to show that it remembered.

"Your tail is like the color of the blue sky. Xue Tian thought, "I'll call you Xiao Ran in the future, Fox Xiao Ran." ”

Fox Xiaoran, the fox silently recited it in his heart, this name is at least better than Xiaobai.

......

Early in the morning, Xue Tian woke up from his dream and opened his eyes to find a fox staring at him.

"What's the matter, Xiao Ran?" Xue Tian asked lazily, rubbing his eyes.

"It's strange that the aura you absorbed before would escape from the center of your eyebrows after refining your body, but now it has disappeared at the center of your eyebrows, and I haven't been able to find where they have gone for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Li Xuetian looked at himself and indeed found that the aura disappeared inexplicably when it reached the center of his eyebrows. What surprised him even more was that the pale yellow mist in the wooden box yesterday suddenly appeared in his mind, and the disappearance of the aura seemed to be inseparable from it.

Li Xuetian informed the fox of what happened yesterday.

"I don't know what the fog you are talking about, isn't there a shadow stone, take it out and take a look, the answer should be in it. ”

Xue Tian took out the stone and handed it to the fox, who injected spiritual power into it to activate it, and a wave of energy was released from the stone, leaving many dense handwriting in the air in front of them.

One person and one fox observed for a long time, and finally understood the general idea.

It turned out that this mist was a freshly formed innate soul, and loved to devour the aura of heaven and earth, and the old gentleman knew that his time was short, so he imprisoned it after catching it and left it for future generations.

"I shouldn't have imprisoned a natural soul, but it has a habit of craving, and if there is no one to guide it, I am afraid that it will be a disaster to the world in the future. If one day the inheritor reaches the realm of pure thought, he can lift the seal and awaken it, and then he hopes to teach it carefully and lead it to goodness. ”

Xue Tian was puzzled: "Didn't the old gentleman say that he sealed it, why can it still enter my body?"

"Maybe the old man underestimated its ability, or you woke it up. ”

"What can I do now, the old gentleman said that he would wait until the Pure Thought Realm to wake it up, what is the Pure Thought Realm?"

"I am now in the first demon realm, which is equivalent to the realm of your human little monks, after which is the great monk, and then the shattered spirit realm, and after the broken spirit is the pure thought realm. I don't think you'll be able to reach the realm of pure thought in your life, so accept your fate!" the fox gloated, "You serve it well, maybe you can save a small life." ”

The cultivation of demon beasts is somewhat different from that of humans, so the division of realms is also different. The human martial arts realm is equivalent to their psychic realm, the minor monk realm is equivalent to the primordial demon realm, and then it corresponds to the Dan Demon Realm, the Transformation Realm, and the Heavenly Demon Realm.

"It sounds so troublesome, forget it, one step at a time, anyway, the aura I escaped is useless, and it's not a waste to be swallowed by it. ”

Worry is worry, the road still has to go forward, since this innate spirit has no intention of harming him at the moment, then treat him as a friend.

......

"Xiao Ran, can you send me down the mountain?" Xue Tian pleaded after the fox.

"Why, you haven't paid me back yet!"

"Didn't I help you get the heart method!"

The fox said lightly: "That's right, but don't you also get a lot of benefits, this is our cooperation, not a repayment." ”

“......”

"You can stay with me in the mountains, how nice!"

Hearing this, Li Xuetian stopped and said to the fox: "I ran out of my house to worship the Guiyun Sect, how can I stay in the mountains!"

"What's wrong in the mountains!" the fox jumped onto the fork of the tree and looked down at the snow, "The mountains are clean, the aura is abundant, and there are not as many dangers as the human world!"

Li Xuetian shook his head: "I am a human being, and I will go to the human world after all." ”

"Then if you want to go, I don't bother to send you!" the fox closed his eyes, not wanting to bother him anymore.

Seeing the fox's appearance, he seemed to be a little angry, and Xuetian didn't dare to ask it to send him down the mountain again.

"I'm gone, take care. ”

There are many dangers in the mountains, and Li Xuetian is still a little scared in his heart. Although he had already started to cultivate, after all, he had just started to cultivate, and he lacked an understanding of mountains and forests, and he had no way to deal with dangers.

Xuetian only remembered that when he fled into the mountains that day, he went all the way to the north, and later the fox took him to find the old man's former residence was also to the north, so he felt that if he wanted to return to the human world, he should go south, so it would take three or four days to travel.

The fox didn't expect Xue Tian to dare to go alone, with his little cultivation and experience, he couldn't survive a day in the Qingyan Mountain Range.
