I've never been so helpless, even when I jumped to Sendai, even when my master died, I didn't panic like this.

But this time, I felt like I was really going to be abandoned by the whole world, I was afraid of the loneliness, I was afraid of the grief, I was afraid of waking up from a dream in the middle of the night, and my eyes were full of desolation.

Jiugu rushed up and hugged me, almost begging me: "Bai Li, don't go, please don't go." ”

"No, I'm going to see him, Jiugu, you let me go." I screamed hysterically, completely unrelievable of any dissuasion.

Jiugu hugged me and cried, and then her body slid down, wrapped her arms around my legs, and knelt in front of me.

"Bai Li, my sister withstood the last three tribulations for Ah Ye, and exchanged her own life for half of Ah Ye's life, Ah Ye's tribulation is over, he was seriously injured, but most of his memories were lost, he didn't know me, he didn't know Ah Zhen and them, and he ...... I don't remember you either. ”

Jiu Gu's words were like five thunderbolts, my legs instantly weakened, and I felt that the spirit of the whole person was instantly withdrawn.

With trembling lips, he asked in disbelief, "Jiu Gu, what are you talking about?" How could Mo Xianye forget me? ”

"He said that no matter how many vicissitudes I have experienced, no matter what I have become, he will recognize me at a glance in the vast sea of people, and it is impossible for him to forget me if he forgets anyone."

As I spoke, I laughed, and tears fell from my eyes: "You see, I have disappeared for more than 8,000 years, and he has not found me back?" Even if the body is gone, only a wisp of soul is hidden in Huang Wanting's body, isn't it still hidden from him? ”

"I am a mark on his heart, indelible, and when he sees me, he will surely recognize me."

"But, Bai Li, can you bear to let him recognize you?" Jiu Gu yelled at me, "His Heavenly Tribulation has finally passed, and the cultivator who was sealed before has also returned, God has let him go, and returned his eight tails to him, what does this portend?" ”

What does it portend? I looked at Jiu Gu in a daze, and I couldn't calm down to think at all.

Jiu Gu didn't expect me to figure it out, and said directly to me: "This means that everything has returned to 10,000 years ago, back to the eve when Ah Ye is about to cultivate the ninth tail and ascend to immortal, and he can fly up without having to jump to the immortal platform again." ”

"Now as long as he raises his body well and allows him to cultivate the ninth tail with peace of mind, he is the only upper immortal in our fox clan for so many years, Bai Li, we need this upper immortal!"

Jiu Gu was talking, holding my legs, with Yin Yin in her eyes, Grandpa Mo and the others stood around, none of them spoke, but their eyes were the same.

"In the battle of February 21, although Mo Yanping did not get any benefits, Changbai Mountain is still stable now, and what is even more terrifying is that the dragon head incense has been extinguished!"

I opened my eyes widen suddenly, stared at Jiu Gu in disbelief, and finally opened my mouth and said, "How could the dragon head incense be extinguished?" ”

"It's just gone." Jiugu said, "As soon as the dragon head incense is extinguished, it indicates that the vein of Changbai Mountain is about to be in great trouble, and no one can escape, my sister is going at this time again, we need a superior immortal to protect the fox clan and protect the entire Changbai Mountain, Bai Li, do you know what I mean?" ”

"Ah Ye forgets you, and he has no personal affection for you, this is to cut off the love thread, which is a necessary condition for ascending to become a superior immortal, if you go to see Ah Ye at this time and recognize him, as you said, once he recognizes you, he will no longer be able to separate you, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Bai Li, do you still want Ah Ye to suffer another catastrophe? The bits and pieces of the past 10,000 years, do you want to do it again? ”

Jiu Gu questioned one after another, and each sound pierced into my heart like a knife.

I looked at her blankly, and then at every pair of eyes around me that were full of pain and helplessness, and the whole person began to be in a trance.

Jiugu's hand touched my lower abdomen, looked up at me and said: "Bai Li, this is a blessing in misfortune, Ah Ye can come to this point, it is God's eyes, it is the best ending, I know that you are suffering, but you still have children." ”

"Not only can you keep Ah Ye, you don't have to dig out the seven exquisite hearts, there will be Ah Ye and your children to accompany you, and our relatives to accompany you, Bai Li, we should be satisfied."

I reached out and touched my lower abdomen, and almost at the same time, there was a slight movement in my lower abdomen, and it was this movement that completely broke me.

Covering his face with his hands, he squatted down and cried.

What Jiu Gu said is right, I should be grateful, I shouldn't think more, God treats me well.

But why does my heart hurt so much!

Why does it hurt so much!

"Perhaps," Jiu Gu hugged me and comforted me in my ear, "Maybe after a few years, Ah Ye can really return to the world to report on his work, and at that time, it will not be too late for you to take the child to recognize him, isn't it?" ”

"Don't cry, Bai Li, let's not cry, we have to be strong, this entire fox clan still needs us to protect it, Ah Ye's body must also be well conditioned, and the ninth tail must be cultivated in the shortest possible time."

"The snake clan is trying to find a way to rekindle the dragon head incense, if it can't be lit, we have to take advantage of this period of calm to get everything ready, we don't have too much time to grieve."

Jiu Gu said to me bitterly, I cried enough, calmed down, bit my lip, and finally made up my mind: "Okay, everything is according to what you decide, the funeral of Grandpa Bai and the Holy Maiden is simple, and Mo Xian is ...... I won't go to recognize Mo Xianye, but Jiugu, if I want to look at him again, I will take a look from afar, as long as I see that he is still alive, I will leave immediately. ”

When it came to this, Jiu Gu had to agree: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Jiu Gu held my hand, and only the two of us walked towards Mo Xianye's room, while the others went to prepare for the burial.

Mo Xianye's room was quiet, he sat quietly on the bed, closed his eyes, meditated with bated breath, his body wrapped in tight gauze, and the whole person looked embarrassed. ”

"The external injury is made with Gyokuro ointment, and it will recover soon, and the internal injury is more difficult, we continue to send him true qi, plus his own cultivation from 10,000 years ago has returned, I believe it will get better soon."

"It's just that after such a serious devastation, his vitality has been greatly damaged, and if he wants to cultivate the Nine-Tails in a short period of time, I'm afraid it's very difficult, and we're trying to find a way."

I stared at Mo Xianye for a moment, looking at that somewhat swollen face, and I felt indescribably uncomfortable.

This man, the man who once treated me like his life, doesn't remember me, and in the future, may never belong to me again.

Before he ascended, I couldn't even appear in front of him and have any communication with him, and when he ascended to heaven, I wouldn't have a chance.

He was like a handful of sand in my hand, and I tried desperately to hold it, but a gust of wind blew and everything vanished.

Mo Xianye, from now on, I will protect our child, raise it well, and pour all my love and thoughts for you into its body.

I just hope you ...... All is well.

I finally took a deep look at Mo Xianye, gritted my teeth, turned around and left, and decisively didn't even look back.

I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, if I look at him again, I can't help but pounce.

……

All the way out of the backyard to find Grandpa Mo, the bodies of Grandpa Bai and Mo Ziyu have been carried to the front hall, where there are two thick coffins, and the bodies are buried in.

Mo Ziyu has recovered his fox body, but Grandpa Bai has not, and he is still the same as his usual body.

As soon as I entered, Grandpa Mo dismissed the people around him, obviously wanting to talk to me alone.

yes, there's so much going on, it's time to sit down and talk.

"Li girl, come and kowtow to your Grandpa Bai." Grandpa Mo said.

I walked over and knelt in front of Grandpa Bai's coffin with a pop, at that time, tears kept rolling in my eyes, and I tried my best not to cry.

When I first heard the bad news, I couldn't control my emotions, I cried and cried, and I made trouble, and now, I can no longer vent my emotions like that.

I reached out to touch Grandpa Bai's thin hand, then slowly leaned down and pressed my face against his cold hand.

It was these hands, after the death of both my parents, that pulled me up little by little, and the grace of nurturing was greater than heaven.

But these hands could no longer shelter me, they were tired and wanted to rest completely.

Grandpa Bai, you rest, the glass girl can take care of herself, if there is an afterlife, the glass girl is willing to become an elder and protect you well.

I put Grandpa Bai's hand back, flattened it, and helped him tidy up his clothes again, then I stood up and looked at Grandpa Mo.

"Grandpa Mo, I have a question for you," I said, "why can the Holy Maiden return to her original form after she dies, but Grandpa Bai cannot?" ”

Logically speaking, no matter how far we have cultivated, we animals should eventually return to our true bodies.

Grandpa Mo sighed and said: "Your Grandpa Bai has been cultivating for a long time, and his body has been stable, and he has consumed a lot of his essence, resulting in the final loss of qi, and there is no essence to support him to recover his true body, do you understand when I say this?" ”

"Although Grandpa Bai is old, he is not at all without energy, right?" Obviously, he was still getting better some time ago, so I immediately thought of something and asked, "Is it caused by Yun Sheng's medication on Grandpa Bai over the years?" ”

"Probably not." Grandpa Mo explained, "Some time ago, I gave your Grandpa Bai a pulse, at that time, his pulse was still very stable, besides, if it was really affected by Yun Sheng's persecution, the further he went, the weaker he became, and he couldn't mobilize his internal strength to do anything at all, but this was obviously not the case." ”

But if it weren't for that, I really can't think of any other possibility.

After thinking about it, I asked again: "Then according to what you mean, Grandpa Bai consumed a lot of essence in a short period of time, which caused the oil to run out of the lamp in the end?" ”

Grandpa Mo nodded: "It should be like this." ”

I thought back to all the things that Grandpa Bai talked to me when I came back this time, thought of him covering his mouth with a handkerchief when he coughed and carried me back, and thinking of the calm look when he said goodbye to me, all kinds of signs showed that Grandpa Bai actually knew in his heart that he was dying.

Grandpa Mo changed the topic: "People go to the lights out, Li girl, we are going to bury your Grandpa Bai and Ziyu in the ancestral grave in a while, ask the wizards in the clan to do the excess, and then put this matter down first, can you accept such an arrangement?" ”

"Yes, I think the Holy Maiden and Grandpa Bai will agree to do this." If you do a lot of things, you will be used by people with intentions when the time comes, and the gains outweigh the losses.

I just want Grandpa Bai to be safe and secure, I don't want him to be tossed when he is gone.

Grandpa Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "During the period before your Grandpa Bai left, it was the wisest decision he made to lead the White Fox Clan to unite with us, and now, the entire Fox Clan can be regarded as a great unification, and then we will elect a person who can lead our entire Fox Clan to overcome obstacles as the Great Patriarch, and the days to come may be even more difficult." ”

"I think the position of this great patriarch, or Grandpa Mo, you sit more securely, everyone obeys you, listen to your leadership, whoever you change, it may be difficult to completely convince the public in a short period of time." I'm telling the truth, Grandpa Mo is the best candidate.

Grandpa Mo shook his head: "I'm old, sooner or later I will go with your Grandpa Bai, instead of dominating this position, and then let the descendants of the clan fight for each other when I die, it is better to support the right person now, so that even if I want to leave, I can go with peace of mind." ”

"Does Grandpa Mo want to support Mo Xianye?" I asked hesitantly.

Grandpa Mo denied me again: "Ah Ye must ascend, I won't let him stay as this great patriarch, unless he fails to ascend successfully." ”

He paused, looked at me and said, "There are two people I want now, one is Xiao Jiu, and the other is you Baili." ”

"I can't." I immediately refused, "Grandpa Mo, although Mo Xianye doesn't need my seven-trick exquisite heart now, it doesn't mean that others don't covet it, and there are many people staring at me, so I am the most inappropriate to be the patriarch, maybe I will ...... one day."

"And after burying Grandpa Bai, I don't plan to live here, so as not to meet Mo Xianye, if the dragon head incense can be rekindled, after the crisis in Changbai Mountain is resolved, I may choose to leave Changbai Mountain."

"Leaving Changbai Mountain? Bai Li, this is your home, where are you going to go when you leave here? "Grandpa Mo asked me.

"The first stop must be to go back to Jiangcheng to have a look, and after that, let's talk about it." I didn't quite think about it all.

Grandpa Mo groaned: "If you don't want to, then only Xiao Jiu will be left, it's just Xiao Jiu, this kid ......."

"I know you're worried, but you don't have to." I said, "Although Jiugu has become the killer of the Xuanji Pavilion, she went to the Xuanji Pavilion instead of the Holy Maiden, which is enough to show that she loves this race and wants to protect our fox clan, and her sense of responsibility is enough for you to hand over the power to her." ”

"I have never doubted Xiao Jiu's ability and personality, and she will never stand idly by when the fox clan is in danger." Grandpa Mo also said firmly, but the words changed, "But after the peaceful and prosperous world, it is impossible for Xiao Jiu to stay and manage the fox clan, and the fox clan can't keep her heart." ”

Yes, there is a person living in my heart, even if I know that person is impossible, but I still want to be able to stay where there is him, even if I look at him from a distance, I am satisfied.

The responsibility is in her body, and Jiugu will not shirk it, but once she is relieved of her responsibility, I think she will leave Changbai Mountain quickly.

"It would be nice if Ah Zhen could be a little better." Grandpa Mo sighed, "Although he is the youngest of my grandsons, his ability is obvious to all, and among his peers, he is second only to Ah Ye......"

Grandpa Mo's words reminded me of this, and Grandpa Bai once said something like this.

I remember that at that time, Grandpa Bai said that one day in the future, Grandpa Mo would not need Mo Xianye, and the position of the patriarch of the Black Fox clan might be passed on to Mo Xianzhen.

Now, Grandpa Bai can be regarded as a prophecy, and Grandpa Mo really wants to retreat and reuse Mo Xianzhen.

In fact, if Mo Xianzhen is made the patriarch of the Black Fox Clan, with the support of Grandpa Mo, he may be able to convince the public, but as the patriarch of the entire Fox Clan, I am afraid that there will be quite complaints from the bottom.

Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that my eldest uncle Bai Fuhu is more influential than Mo Xianzhen in terms of cultivation level and qualifications.

"Well, it's a bit early to say that." Grandpa Mo suddenly intercepted the topic and said, "Historically, those who can be the patriarch of the entire fox clan must have their own hexagonal copper bell and a nine-tailed, these two things can command the forces within the clan. ”

"When the time comes, maybe you have to change the rules, but maybe the results will be better."

I nodded, and didn't dwell on this anymore, but raised another question: "Grandpa Mo, everyone said before that the saintess of the fox clan was inherited, the last saintess was destroyed, and the next saintess would come into being, and now the saints of the fox clan ...... It's gone, when will the new saint arrive? ”

I didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as I said this, Grandpa Mo looked at me suddenly, and from his eyes, I saw shock, obviously this question was ignored by him.

With so many things going on in a row, Grandpa Mo's brain is not omnipotent, and he can fit anything.

"Yes, under normal circumstances, the previous saintess and the next saintess are seamlessly connected, I remember that the previous saintess just swallowed, and a purple qi was gathered above the fox clan, and then, Ziyu was born, and today, the entire Changbai Mountain seems to have no movement so far."

This matter is very important to the fox clan, and the holy woman is of great significance to the fox clan, and there must be no mistakes in this.

"Maybe the auspicious time hasn't come yet, let's wait." I was relieved.

While talking, someone came outside, and after Mo Xianzhen came in, he glanced at me, and then said, "The Great Wizard has come over." ”

The Great Wizard was invited by Grandpa Mo to preside over the funeral of Grandpa Bai and the Holy Maiden, and then he had to spend time for their souls.

What I didn't expect was that Grandpa Mo finally buried Grandpa Bai in the ancestral grave of the Black Fox Clan, which showed Grandpa Mo's determination to unify the entire Fox Clan.

……

By the time the funeral was over, it was already dark, and I didn't have much appetite, so I didn't go to eat, but went to Grandpa Bai's room, and Yi Tian was the same, and she was cleaning up in the room at that time.

Grandpa Bai left, all his products were left, some personal belongings were burned, and the rest, in terms of sweetness, was to be brought back to our White Fox clan.

I stood there and watched Yi Tian clean up, during this time, Yi Tian has always stayed with the Black Fox Clan to take care of Grandpa Bai, so I should know Grandpa Bai's life well, right?

I couldn't help but ask: "Yi Tian, in the past month, Grandpa Bai has been lying like this, have you encountered any things......

"What do you want to ask?" Yi Tian turned his face to me and asked, "You ask, I know everything." ”

Changed with sweetness.

In the past, Yi Tian especially loved to laugh, a small mouth was very sweet, and whoever she talked to, people would unconsciously like this well-behaved little girl, but now, she rarely smiled so stupidly, and even her smile was dyed with a layer of sadness.

Her affection for Grandpa Bai will never be worse than mine.

But what should be asked, you still have to ask: "Although Grandpa Bai left peacefully, it was very sudden, Grandpa Mo said that it should be caused by something that happened in the last period of time, you have been by Grandpa Bai's side, have you found anything abnormal?" ”

"No, everything is normal, Sister Bai, look away, don't think nonsense." Yi Tian replied quickly, when he spoke, his eyes were blinking, and I immediately reacted that Yi Tian was lying.

When did this innocent girl learn to lie?

I stepped forward, grabbed Yi Tian's hand, and said very seriously: "Yi Tian, you look at me, don't dodge, Sister Bai is asking you something, this matter is very important, can you tell me the truth?" ”

"Sister Bai, I've said everything I need to say, what else do you want to ask?" Yi Tian was a little impatient, and in this impatience, there was a sense of weakness.

Looking at her reaction, I suddenly remembered the brocade box, the brocade box that Grandpa Bai specially left for me!

That was the last thing that Grandpa Bai handed me over, and he repeatedly explained to me that the brocade box was opened at a critical moment and could save my life.

In such an important thing, all the emotions of Grandpa Bai must have been poured into it, and maybe there are unsolved mysteries on Grandpa Bai.

I turned around and closed the door, startling Yi Tian: "Sister Bai, what are you doing here?" ”

I reached out and pulled her into the innermost part of the room, took out the brocade box that I had been carrying close to me, placed it on the table, and reached out to open it.

Yi Tian suddenly pressed my hand and shook her head vigorously: "Sister Bai, don't open the brocade box, don't look at it now, wait a minute." ”

"Why wait? Isn't it critical that the dragon head incense is extinguished? I asked Yi Tian rhetorically, "Maybe the great turmoil in the entire Changbai Mountain is coming, do you want me to still remember when I am dying, and Grandpa Bai's bag has not been opened?" ”
