Chapter 5: Fox Friends (3)
"My story? Well, it's so difficult, I'm still so young, where do I get any stories. "Summer is a problem.
"Small?!" Ancestor, there should be a limit to how tender you are, hum!
"Then I think about it, let me tell you about my father and my mother." Summer Road.
Xia Mu nodded, sat beside him and held up his cheeks in a posture ready to listen carefully.
"When I was a child, I was born in a forest on the border of the demon clan, and it was called the 'Innocent Forest'. Dad said: There are blessings and disasters in the world. I remember that there were flowers, green streams, steaming hot springs, towering mountains, large green meadows, and many little demons like our people. That's where our little demon ancestors have lived for generations, because there are natural barriers around the forest as a cover, and the big demons don't look down on that remote forest, so it has always been a peaceful paradise. I remember when I was a kid I had a lot of playmates, rabbits, squirrels, kingfishers, and foxes. My parents love me very much and give me the best. They also love each other very much, and they are in and out of pairs wherever they go. We are all human beings who have cultivated for a hundred years, and we all cherish them very much, so we never do anything bad that goes against the way of heaven, we supervise each other's cultivation, and the scope of our activities is only in our own territory. "Summer recalls her childhood, and she seems to be very quiet, not the little fox who is always frightened.
"Until...... Twenty-five years ago, a fairy master came to the forest. Summer continued: "I remember that she was very beautiful, and she was even more beautiful than many of the girls of our fox clan. And she loved to tease us and was a very funny person. When she laughed, even the roses bloomed, and the fish in the water stopped. ”
Speaking of this, Summer suddenly raised her head and stared at Xia Mu tightly and said, "Huh? Sister, don't say it, I think you are really similar to her, no wonder I felt inexplicably familiar when I first saw you, and now I finally remember, you really look like the immortal master back then. ”
"Hey! I'm going to be embarrassed about your rainbow fart. "Xia Mu doesn't believe that Summer can still remember the appearance of a person he saw twenty-five years ago, and if he knows that he is this face blind, he may not necessarily remember the person he saw twenty-five days ago. But everyone said that the immortal master was so beautiful that 'closed the moon and shy flowers, sinking fish and geese', and turned around and said that he looked like himself, which is not enough to make people feel embarrassed.
"Really! Well, the more you look at it, the more you look like it, it's that you're a lot older than her, back then, she said she was fifteen. Summer said very seriously.
Bah! The white of the summer curtain almost rolled his eyes to his back. What, the old lady will be twenty-five years old during the New Year, ten years older than the beautiful fairy master you said! Still like? Where is it like? It's clearly a sarcastic person in disguise!
At that time, she said that she had traveled through the Wufu Forest and had been in our forest for several days, telling us a lot of interesting things outside, and bringing us some delicacies in the world, candy that I had never seen before. And her cultivation and spells are really amazing! My father and mother said that they were not her opponents, and as a human race, it was really rare to have such a cultivation at the age of fifteen, and it was not necessary to meet such a person in a hundred years. ”
"Roar! What a powerful character, what happened later? ”
Then she was gone. It wasn't until five years later that she returned, but this time I happened to sneak out of the border of the forest with my friends to play, so I didn't see her again. I only heard that she also brought a man to the Wufu Forest with her. She told my people that she wanted to marry the man, and then she would live in seclusion in our forest, hoping that we would accept them. My people were happy and wanted her to stay, and prepared for their wedding, but for some reason, on the eve of the wedding, the man was gone. When the immortal master heard this, he cried very sadly, and then thanked my people and left again, saying that they were going to find his fiancé, but they never returned. But not long after she left, the man actually returned! Speaking of this, Summer's eyes suddenly became fierce and dark.
"When he returned, he set fire to the Innocence Forest!"
"Shhh Yes? Xia Mu took a deep breath. Why? ”
"I don't know, I just remember that in the midst of the flames, he was wearing a red robe, standing in the fire, like a demon from hell. My people, and the little demons, wailed, cried, and begged for mercy in the firelight. But he was laughing! He laughed so wildly, so viciously. Then laughed and laughed, but cried again......"
"......" Xia Mu felt goosebumps pop up, rubbed his arm and asked, "And then?" ”
"All dead, the forest was still burning when I left. My father and mother also died in that fire, but my father fought the demon before he died, and ripped a string of jade beads from him. "At this point, Summer is no longer crying.
"The fire is too big, I can't help it, my father and mother are very seriously injured, I can't save them! I want to save them, but I can't save them! In the end, they used the only remaining demonic power to send me out of the Boundless Forest. I took the string of jade beads from the demon's body and escaped. From then on, I vowed to find him and take revenge! The little fox's eyes were already crimson.
Natsumu silently hugged him from behind, resting his chin on the top of his head, gently patting him on the back. She didn't know how to comfort him, what she hadn't experienced, no matter how she said it, it seemed that she didn't have a backache when she stood and spoke, and she was very pale.
"But I don't know what's going on, the wolf clan somehow learned a few years ago that my father and mother ripped a string of jade beads from that evil ghost, so they sent someone to chase me and rob me of my jade beads. But I can't give them to them, it's the only relic my father left me, and the only clue I can find to avenge my people by that demon. ”
"Yuzhu, show me." Situ Lan, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, suddenly said.
Xia Mu and Xia were startled at first, and then Xia Xia groped out a touch of red from his arms and held it in front of Situ Lan's eyes with both hands. "Uh...... Immortal Venerable, please look, do you recognize what this is? Who is it for? ”
Situ Lan picked it up and looked at it quietly for a while, his expression had not changed at all, but Xia Mu clearly captured the surprise and anger that flashed in his eyes. "Do you know this string of jade beads?"
"I don't know." Situ Lan replied.
"Then you ......" You lied to people, obviously you feel that you know.
"But I know what."
"Huh? It's true? Xianzun, do you know whose it is? Summer was pleasantly surprised, he had been looking for so many years, and finally anyone knew.
"This is not a jade bead, this is a bracelet made from the branches of the misty tree between the moon buds and clouds, each one is shaped like a jade bead. It can drive away evil spirits and calm the mind, and if it encounters obstacles or ghosts hitting the wall, it can be self-broken. ”
"What? Between the moon buds and clouds? Xia Mo and Summer asked in unison.
It's incredible! Could it be that the man who set fire to the forest was actually a monk in the moon buds and clouds?
Xia Mu also took the string of beads and observed it carefully, saying that it was a string of beads, but in fact there were only three, but they were cleverly tied between the red rope knots. This rope knot is also very beautiful and exquisite, and at a glance you know that it must have come from the hand of a girl with a wise blue heart. It's still a concentric knot, and the meaning is self-evident.
"The person who set the fire is not among the moon buds." Situ Lan seemed to see the doubts of the two and took the initiative to say.
"How can Immortal Venerable be so sure?" The little fox has been looking for so many years, and finally encountered a glimmer of light, so he naturally wants to break the sand pot and ask to the end.
Situ Lan sighed quietly and silently: "Above...... It's the breath of the demons. "And, it turned out to be his! Such a coincidence? This time, it was the 'Disaster Elimination Pavilion' that received news about the movement of the demon race, and he only went down the mountain to investigate, but he didn't expect to encounter it twice directly in such a short period of time. Once it was at the Ling family in Nasun County, that demon blood. This time, it was the misty beads between the moon buds and clouds, and the beads were deliberately left with breath. And it's all his—Tang Yi.
With his ability, if he really wants to do something in the human world or the demon world, he won't be detected at all, then he will ...... this time What do you want to do?
"Demons?!" I can't react in the summer for half a day, how can I ...... What about the demons? Then how can he repay this revenge!
When the story was over, the sky became darker, and the three of them were relatively silent to each other, and they scattered with their own thoughts.
Xia Mu lay on the grass and began to ponder what Situ Lan said, although she didn't know the specific situation of the demon race, but she could tell from his words that it was not a people to be provoked and murderous!
Alas! Anyway, what's the matter with you? It's better to go to bed early, after a day of riding, even if the foot is very slow, it is still very tiring, especially the roots of the two thighs, which are sore and painful.
When he opened his eyes again, Natsumu found himself in a forest, standing blankly under a towering tree. So much so that the sunlight spilled on the ground was filtered to the point that there was very little left, only mottled light and shadow.
Where is this? Dreaming again? I really can't listen to bedtime stories. Xia Mu thought helplessly, come on, anyway, I'm used to dreaming, now that I'm here, let's see what I can dream about!
Walking slowly along a path on the ground that has clearly been trampled on, there are unknown weeds and wild flowers on the left and right, and the air is filled with the fragrance of nature. There seems to be bursts of birdsong overhead, which is beautiful and romantic in the morning jungle.
Suddenly, the fog began to rise, and it became bigger and bigger, and after a while, I couldn't see my fingers. There isn't much fear in the summer curtain, and the scene switching in the dream always comes anyway. Since I couldn't see clearly and didn't know where I was going, I just stood there and didn't bother to move. In the silence, the sense of hearing was sharpened, and there seemed to be a trickling stream not far away, and the leaves of the trees blown by gusts of wind, and the occasional sound of birds flapping their wings.
Just as the summer curtain squinted his eyes and enjoyed the rare sound of nature, he heard the sound of someone talking.
"Isn't it beautiful here?" It's a girl's voice, but, how do you feel that this voice is so similar to yourself?
"Well, it's beautiful, but it's really nothing compared to you. Wherever you are, it will turn into a beautiful view. A man's voice replied.
I'll go! This will be flirtatious! Xia Mu felt numb and jealous in his heart, but why, where did this man's voice seem to have been heard?
"Shall we live here? Never to be born again, right here, you and me. The girl's voice continued with a slight shyness.
"Good. As long as I'm with you, I can go wherever I want. The man's voice was gentle, and when he heard it, he knew that he must be very fond of the woman he was talking to.
"Well, as long as I'm with you, it's okay anywhere." The girl said gently.
Ouch hey! Why is your dog food in my dream, it's too much! Summer Curtain rubbed the smell of lemon on his body.
