At night, my grandfather had just returned from a business trip and passed by a meadow at the foot of Qingling Mountain. The grass in the place was very thick, about the height of an adult man, and it was very desolate when you looked around. As he walked, Grandpa realized that something was wrong. Because, he always felt like something was behind him. He goes, and the thing follows him; He stopped, and the thing stopped with him. At that time, people were very superstitious, believing that there was such a ghost, God.

"This wilderness, don't be afraid of what's going on, this can't be in front of the village and no store in the back, but what's good" Grandpa secretly complained in his heart. The wife and children are waiting at home, there is no way, grandpa can only continue to move forward, but this time he was about to raise his legs, but he found that the carriage did not move, and he couldn't take a step forward no matter how he hurried. At this time, someone slapped him from behind. When I looked down, I saw a miserable white hand on my grandfather's shoulder. At that time, a dense layer of cold sweat broke out on Grandpa's forehead, and when he gritted his teeth, he looked back and turned his face even more pale.

I saw a person sitting in the carriage at some point, this person looked very strange and couldn't tell his age. He was tall and fair-skinned, his facial features were unusually delicate, as if they were painted, his two eyes were surprisingly large, his mouth was as thin as a piece of paper, and his high nose was full of heroism. Wearing an extraordinary person, the official uniform of the Han Dynasty cut from purple satin, embroidered with gold thread with the sun, moon and stars, animals and birds. A pair of black boots with gold trim are even spotless, and there is a piece of jade Ruyi pinned to the waist.

As if seeing that my grandfather's expression was a little unnatural, the man spoke first: "Brother, don't panic, I have no malicious intentions, I came here to look for you today, I have something to tell you, to repay your kindness in the past" This person's voice was slightly hoarse.

Grandpa calmed down a little, and asked with some surprise: "I don't know where the brother started to say this, and where did the past kindness come from, we seem to be ignorant of life, how can we talk about repaying the favor?" ”

The hoarse voice sounded again, and he sighed: "There is no time in the mountains, and it has been a thousand years since I looked back!" I was originally a fox fairy on Qingling Mountain here, and my surname was Hu Taiyan. Three hundred years ago, I was just enlightened. Once the thunder tribulation was added, Dao Xing was almost destroyed, not to mention, and was beaten back to its original form. If it weren't for your sacrifice in your previous life, you would have been wiped out by the ashes of the catastrophe by now. ”

Then Hu Taiyan talked in detail about what happened back then. It turns out that Grandpa Tai's previous life was also an earth immortal, and it was this white immortal who attained the Tao, which is what people call the hedgehog essence, called Bai Xuan. This Bai Xuan and Hu Taiyan both cultivated on Qingling Mountain, one on the west side of the mountain and the other on the east side of the mountain. Bai Xuan is good at alchemy, proficient in yin and yang medicine, cures diseases and saves people, and lives countless people. Hu Taiyan is good at catching ghosts and subduing demons, fighting to exorcise demons, and keeping one side peaceful. The two of them have done a lot of good things for the people near Qingling Mountain. Because they live close to each other and are good immortals, Bai Xuan and Hu Taiyan naturally get along very well. Moreover, the two immortals have cooperated many times, and under the same interests, they became brothers of the opposite sex. In addition to cultivation, they often drink and talk together, play games and have fun.

On this day, Hu Taiyan calculated that he was about to become enlightened, and there was a thunderstorm that could not be avoided, and he had survived, and since then he has been a man among the gods. If you can't cross it, you will have to scatter your soul and annihilate the world, which is dangerous and abnormal. Hu Taiyan knew that this thunder tribulation could only be resisted by himself, and it was useless for others to help, but would increase the power of the thunder tribulation. So he didn't tell Bai Xuan about it, went down the mountain alone, found a secret place to cross the robbery, and left only a letter in his cave. Thinking that if he survives this catastrophe and then makes amends to his old friend, if he can't survive this catastrophe, his old friend can only collect his body for himself.

Bai Xuan made an appointment with Hu Taiyan to drink with Hu Taiyan on the night of August 15 and admire the moon. But in his cave house, he waited left and right, and there was no trace of Hu Taiyan, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart. It stands to reason that Hu Taiyan has never missed an appointment, and he couldn't wait for a long time tonight, so Bai Xuan realized that something was wrong, so Bai Xuan went to Hu Taiyan's cave to look for him.

Entering Hu Taiyan's cave, Bai Xuan found his letter, and was shocked at first glance, followed by a sinking in his heart. Without time to think carefully and prepare, he hurried to the place of the catastrophe mentioned in the letter.

When Bai Xuan arrived, he saw blood-red lightning piercing the night sky, slashing at Hu Taiyan's body, splitting the armor worn by Hu Taiyan into pieces, and the wounds on his body were deep and bone-invisible. The scorched black wounds flashed a few blood-colored electric lights from time to time. To say that Hu Taiyan's cultivation can be described as deep as the sea, it has attracted six or nine heavenly tribulations. However, Hu Taiyan is too murderous, Lei Zheng refuses to spare him easily, if he doesn't usually accumulate virtue and do good, and has merit to protect his body, he would not have been able to persist in the arrival of his friend Bai Xuan at this moment. At this time, the thunder tribulation was about to end, but Hu Taiyan had no strength left to take the next thunderstorm.

Seeing that his friend for many years was about to be wiped out by the robbery, Bai Xuan didn't think about it, and in a hurry, he used the secret technique of the clan to sacrifice for the robbery. I saw Bai Xuan plop down and kneel on the ground, first knelt in all directions and bowed a few times, then took out three short blades from his arms, and after casting the spell, a knife was inserted into the chest, a knife was inserted into the lower abdomen, and a knife was inserted into the ground, and he endured severe pain and recited the incantation. At first, the incantation was a whispering whisper, but gradually it was as big as a bell, shaking the surrounding air, and then a white light flashed out from Bai Xuan's heavenly spirit cover, turning into a huge shield, blocking Hu Taiyan's body. At this time, the last thunderbolt fell, hit the shield, and disappeared with a single touch. Only a small trace was left on Hu Taiyan's body, and Hu Taiyan, who had no spare strength, was split back to its original shape. After this tribulation, Hu Taiyan's cultivation realm was already different, but under the high-intensity thunderstorm, his cultivation had been exhausted, and he temporarily turned into a fiery red giant fox crawling on the charred soil.

The scene of Bai Xuan's sacrifice Hu Taiyan naturally saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but at that time, he had no strength to stop it, so he could only watch his old friend take his life to save himself. After the thunder stopped, Hu Taiyan exerted all his strength, and rubbed against Bai Xu's side little by little, and a pair of fox eyes were already in tears. At this time, Bai Xuan was already angry, and only took his last breath and said to the red giant fox: "Brother don't be sad, if you can't survive this catastrophe, you will have to lose your soul, and my spell is just the exhaustion of longevity and reincarnation." You and my brother will see each other again in the future, brother, don't be sad, in contrast, it is already a great luck to be able to save my brother, Bai Xuan has no regrets in this life, it is worth it..."

Hu Taiyan only felt sadness coming from it, as if something was about to burst out in his suppressed chest, and he used all his strength to let out a few hysterical howls from his dry throat. The moon on August 15 is so round and bright, and everyone who shines on it seems to be a little warm, but Hu Taiyan's heart is as cold as ashes. After many years have passed, the bright moon is still the bright moon, but there is one less Bai Xuan who heals and saves people on Qingling Mountain, and there is a lonely and dumb Hu Taiyan left.

When my grandfather heard this reason, he couldn't help but be full of emotion, and admired the friendship between Bai Xuan and Hu Taiyan. But he didn't believe that he was the reincarnation of Bai Xuan, but he just said in his heart: "You fox fairy, you didn't come to ask for my life!." ”

I remembered that this fox fairy had something to tell him, so he hurriedly asked: "I don't know if the great immortal has anything to instruct below, and what needs to be done in the next place, I must do it below." "My grandfather has been in business for many years, and his mind is very flexible, and when he saw that he was not in danger, he became a friend with this fox fairy. (At that time, the acceptance of the Great Immortal was relatively strong, and the fox immortals were mostly Baojia Immortals, and they would not easily hurt secular people.) Moreover, if there is a fairy fate, the demons and evil parties will not dare to harm at will)

"Brother, recently I was cultivating in the mountains, and suddenly I saw a black gas rushing into the sky, and I knew that there was a demon born and it would be a disaster! Look at the direction, it's where your house is. I was shocked, and I hurriedly calculated it, and sure enough, as expected, this cause and effect should be in your home. But this evil thing wants your family to be ruined, and your children and grandchildren will be cut off. So, I have come here to seek you and teach you how to deal with it. ”

As soon as my grandfather heard the old fox fairy say this, the heart he had just put down was tense again.

At that moment, he hurriedly asked, "Oh, Daxian, how is this good?" It's just a good life, why is there such a thing again! You can save our family," said the anxious grandfather who was about to kneel down for this fox fairy. But this leg couldn't bend at all, it turned out that the fox fairy cast a spell to stop him.

"Brother, you don't need to be like this, I'll tell you the way to save you."

"According to my calculations, these evil creatures have been practicing for nearly a thousand years, and they can be subdued by extraordinary means by growing up with the resentment of the mortal world and feeding on the dead qi of mortal corpses. And it must find a person with evil thoughts to possess it, so that it can walk in the world, between the virtual and the real, and it is difficult to catch. Even I wasn't sure I could wipe it out. But don't be afraid, I already have a way to deal with this time. As long as you insert this piece of jade Ruyi on my waist on the body of that evil thing, you will definitely be able to suppress it. In this way, the evil was avoided. After the fox fairy said that, he took the jade Ruyi out of his arms and handed it to my grandfather.

My grandfather took the jade Ruyi and thanked Hu Taiyan for his kindness, and said excitedly: "Thank you Daxian for saving my family from fire and water, I will set up a tablet in the future, and offer incense in the morning and evening to repay Daxian for your kindness to our family." As he spoke, my grandfather bent down to the ground again.

"Brother doesn't have to worry, go home early to solve this matter, don't delay, for my brother, I'll leave." Before the voice could be heard, the fox fairy disappeared in an instant. As soon as my grandfather looked up, he saw that the fox fairy had already left, and he couldn't digest the strange things he encountered tonight, so he hurriedly set up the carriage and hurried to the direction of home. It's just that he is holding the jade Ruyi tightly in one hand that can save the lives of the whole family.
