Although I knew that the four spirit beasts in front of me were only remnants of their breath, the majestic field they displayed was enough to deeply shock me, and after they left, I stood in place for a long time, undecided.

In the end, it was Grandpa Gan who woke me up and asked me to put Nian'er down, and I looked left and right to make sure that there would be no sudden appearance around me, so I carefully placed Nian'er in the center of the four rocks.

I saw that the moment I put it down, the thoughts that had been curled up and tensed suddenly relaxed, and the tightly closed brows were also soothed, obviously the breath of the four spirits suppressed the demon spirit in her body.

I stroked Nian'er's fluff, and heard Grandpa God's voice say: "Yunyi, let's go back, the four spirits have agreed, it takes time for the aura to be suppressed, the little fox demon can't wake up for a while, Huang Yao will always pay attention." ”

Along with Grandpa Gan's words, Daoist Huang Yao nodded to show his attitude.

Leaving Nian'er here alone, I don't feel very relieved, but after thinking about it, this is Zizhu Mountain, guarded by hundreds of disciples, and there are two masters of Grandpa Gan and Lu Tong, how can there be a half-point difference.

So he stood up and turned to leave.

I looked back after a few steps, and finally got off the Silingtan.

After all, Daoist Huang Yao is a woman with a delicate mind, and she sensed my reluctance, so she proposed to let me live in her cottage for the time being, waiting for Nian'er to wake up.

I was naturally overjoyed, from the grass house to Silingtan, about half an hour's foot, I could see Nian'er again anytime and anywhere.

Grandpa Gan and Lu Tong had no objections, but Daoist Huang Yao still hit my joy a little, although I can live in the grass house, but I can't go in and out of Silingtan at will, I can only go after Nian'er wakes up, after all, it is the blessed land of Zizhu Mountain Cave, and people who are not in charge of the sect and guarding the pool are not allowed to enter and leave at will.

Still, I'm satisfied.

Naturally, I want to inform the master first, he is also very good, saying that he is not in a hurry to return to the master's door, and he just takes advantage of this time to go out to visit an old friend nearby, and he will not be in Zizhu Mountain for the next few days, and he will not bring anyone.

In this way, I stayed in the grass house of Huang Yao Dao for a while.

The layout of the cottage is very simple, but it is very clean, a stove, a table, a few chairs, some gourds and ritual utensils are hung on the wall, and a few pots of green potted plants are placed on the windowsill, revealing a fresh and natural smell. There are two bedrooms and a study, and the layout is also very simple, but there are all there should be, and the furniture is basically made of bamboo, which has a unique flavor.

I also took a few glances at Huang Yaodao's bedroom, except for the clean and tidy cleaning and the subtle fragrance, I basically couldn't tell that it was a woman's bedroom. She usually doesn't stay in the grass house, but goes to the Siling Pond, sometimes staying for a day and a night.

The bamboo forest where the grass house is located is quiet and silent, and no one will come up for a day, only the sea breeze will make a rustling sound.

During this season, you can still see bamboo rats and pheasants during the day, and at night, only an oil lamp in the house is flickering, which is sometimes lonely and quiet, but it is very beneficial for practice, no matter how I practice, no one will disturb me.

The side effects caused by being dominated by Sun Tianshi's uncle and ancestor for a long time have basically recovered, but the body is a little weak, and there is a kind of softness like waking up from a dream, and you still need to do your homework to recover.

In such a tranquil environment, I tried my luck for the first time to find out the origin of the original thoughts in my body, and it was surprisingly successful.

Feeling that a rune array laid by the origin of Yuan Nian was like a glass cover, completely isolating the origin of Yuan Nian, and he couldn't even feel the power of Yuan Nian slowly overflowing.

This is good and bad for me, the good thing is that there will be no more situations where Uncle Sun will dominate in the future, and it can also avoid the self-consciousness being completely wiped out and becoming another person, and the disadvantage is that I have completely lost a hanging

If I encounter any more life and death disasters in the future, Uncle Sun will not appear again to save me from fire and water, and I can only rely on myself.

Losing some kind of reliance and reliance is actually a very insecure thing, but it also means that I have to learn to grow on my own. If I rely on others, I will only stagnate, and I will not make any progress.

I know that, so I don't feel sorry or regret it. After all, everything is two-sided.

After three days like this, my biggest gain in the grass house is that I can often eat the meals cooked by Huang Yao Daochang, using the most common farm ingredients, she can make all kinds of delicious dishes in different ways, which is mouth-watering.

But every time I watched me eat with relish, Daoist Huang Yao couldn't help grinning with joy like an old mother, showing a row of white teeth, very much like my mother who was doing business outside, and occasionally brought food home to see me.

Inevitably, I was touched by the scene and asked about Huang Yao's family affairs.

Only then did I learn that Huang Yao Daochang married Lu Tong at the age of 20, and it has been nearly 20 years, although the two are in love, but they have never had children and no heirs, not because the two do not have this idea, but because of Huang Yao's physical reasons.

Speaking of which, the suffering is self-evident.

I could hear the regret and guilt of Daoist Huang Yao in his words.

In the final analysis, no matter how immortal they are, they are still ordinary people, with ordinary hearts and the most simple feelings.

At night on the fourth day, Daoist Huang Yao, who had been in Silingtan for a whole day, suddenly came back and told me that Nian'er had woken up and that I could go up.

When I heard the news, I was so excited that I couldn't wait for Daoist Huang Yao to take me to see Nian'er.

We walked up the stairs for about half an hour, and came to the dilapidated wooden archway, and then Huang Yao took out two pieces of rune paper from his bag and pasted them on both sides of the archway, and recited the mantra, and felt that the entrance of the archway shook suddenly, as if some kind of invisible barrier disappeared, and then, she turned back to me and said, "You go up, I will wait for you here." ”

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Won't the zodiac go up?" ”

She shook her head, not saying much.

So I passed through the barrier again, into the space of the four spirit pool, at this time it was already night, the night sky stars shimmering, the Milky Way flowed, the whole night sky was illuminated, the breeze blew through the pool, the sparkling waves flickered, and then across the grass, rolled up layers of waves, knee-high grass suddenly fireflies flew up, echoing with the stars in the night sky.

It stands to reason that fireflies can only be seen in autumn, and now they can be seen in late spring.

I looked up and saw the white figure in the middle of the four rocks, and my heart jumped, and I hurried towards it.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the white figure looked back, and was overjoyed at the moment he saw me, and couldn't help but cry out, and then rushed towards me.

I opened my hand excitedly and shouted, "Nian'er!" ”

The little fox was stunned for a moment, then jumped up, jumped into my arms, and rubbed my cheek vigorously.

The soft fluff and faint scent of grass, as well as the warmth of my body, after a few days of not seeing each other, my eyes were wet all of a sudden.

Seeing the little fox's radiant appearance now, who would have thought that she would almost be saved and almost disappear from my life forever.

I hugged the little fox tightly, feeling the warmth of a brief reunion.

A thousand words, only turned into a tight snuggle.

Suddenly, I felt a gaze coming from all around, which made my heart palpitate, and when I looked up, I saw the four spirit beasts calmly holding on their respective rocks, looking at us quietly, and in less than a few seconds, they disappeared again.

I looked down at the little fox and asked her, "Aren't you afraid of them?" ”

Nian'er shook her head and glared

Look at me with big black pearl eyes.

Nian'er is timid, I have a number in my heart, and I am not afraid to face the four spirit beasts, obviously there are many reasons, and it is not enough to delve into it.

I sat cross-legged, put the little fox on my lap, and gently stroked her fur as I thought about how to speak.

I haven't forgotten what I'm going to do, this time, I'm going to let the little fox make his own decision, give up the blood of the demon or the blood of the human.

"Nian'er," I began, "if you had to choose between being a human or a demon, what would you choose?" If so, you can only choose one or the other. ”

The little fox was stunned for a moment, and looked up at me with wide eyes, his eyes were clear and bright, and he didn't seem to understand what I meant.

I thought about it for a long time, but I still didn't know how to tell the little fox in the end.

I continued, "I mean, you may have to face two choices, which is to become a human or become a demon, although you are a demon now, but if you become a human, you will never be able to change back, you know? And it will have the same lifespan as people, although it will be very smart and understanding, and the future is immeasurable, but it will also have to face a complex human heart and a dangerous world. However, if you become a demon, you will have a long lifespan, and you will become very strong, but it will be more difficult to attain the Tao in the future, but you can stay in this world and live freely! Unrestrained! So, I wonder what you'd choose? ”

After that, I looked down at the little fox, and the little fox also looked up at me, and I saw a trace of surprise and incomprehension in her eyes, and indescribable worry, although I said a lot, but this time she understood my words, and seemed to know her current situation.

I hesitantly took out two pieces of paper from my pocket that I had prepared, with the words demon and human written on them, put them in front of me, and then said with my fingers: "If you want to choose a demon, stand on this piece of paper, you don't have to hide in my arms all the time, and you can live freely and unfettered." If you want to choose people, you will stand on this piece of paper, and to be honest, human society is too complicated, and it will be difficult to live in it. ”

My words seemed to be deliberately guiding her, and from Nian'er's point of view, I made the most beneficial decision for her.

The little fox looked up at me, then at the two pieces of paper on the ground, lost in thought.

I swallowed my saliva, and waited for the little fox's decision without breathing, to be honest, I couldn't be sure of my intentions, but after saying that again, the anxiety in my heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a few seconds, I saw the little fox jump down and land on the piece of paper with the demon written on it......

My heart sank, and I felt an inexplicable pain.

However, then the little fox lowered his head and picked up the paper with the human being written in his mouth, jumped back into my lap, and looked up at me, his eyes shining brightly.

I was stunned for a moment, felt my heart tremble violently, carefully took the paper, and asked her, "Are you sure?" You must know that the lifespan of becoming a human is shorter than that of a demon! And it's dangerous in this society! Are you sure? ”

The little fox nodded vigorously, and his big dark eyes were like two brilliant black gems.

I was stunned, and my heart was mixed for a moment, but there was a vague breath that slowly poured out.

I opened my mouth, but I stopped talking, and the expectation and reason in my heart were intertwined for a moment, and the chaos was like numbness.

At this moment, a rush of bells suddenly remembered in the distance, and the rhythm was tight, which made people feel a little nervous.

With the bell ringing, Huang Yao suddenly appeared in front of the archway, and said to me: "Guanyin Temple hit the warning bell, something must have happened, I want to go down the mountain to see, you stay in Silingtan first!" ”

With that, Huang Yao turned around and disappeared under the archway.

I looked up and saw a full moon slowly rising in the night sky, and the white and bright light dimmed the stars in the night sky.
