Chapter 32, flowers
When the little fox demon woke up, I had just come back from a leave of absence from the company, first, I wanted to avoid Ling Kai, and secondly, I also planned to go back to my hometown to meet my father, which was considered to be filial piety.
The little fox demon who was dying last night looks energetic today, sitting alone on the sofa, with a lot of snacks in front of her, and the TV is playing the incomparably bloody Korean drama, she watches it while eating, laughing happily from time to time, and the appearance I saw yesterday is like two people.
I looked at her still a little pale and asked a little speechlessly, "Are you okay?" ”
She didn't look back, and as she shoved the potato chips into her mouth, she replied vaguely, "It's okay, what can happen." ”
I think she's either very powerful and has almost recovered after a night's rest. Either she is a girl with rough nerves, and like Shen Yi, she can also be used as a quilt cover when the sky falls.
But anyway, she helped me last night, and I don't mind her casualness.
Put down the suitcase in my hand, this is the clothes I packed when I went home, fortunately Ling Kai was not at home, I was too happy not to explain my behavior to him, I walked over and sat next to the little fox demon, I asked curiously, "What's your name?" Why save me? Did we know each other before? ”
"My sister, you can't forget me, do you?" The little fox demon finally stopped eating and looked at me with wide eyes, "Three years ago in Changhu Park, you saved an injured little fox, don't you remember?" ”
Three years ago? I was stunned for a moment, and my mind began to relive memories of the past.
It seems that there is such a thing, but wasn't it a fox dog that I saved at the time? I remember it curled up in the dirt of the flower beds, blood stains on its forehead, and trembling like it had been injured last night.
It was a day of thunder and lightning, torrential rain, and not many pedestrians on the streets. I had just come out of the restaurant after a business, and I looked up to see a small street park opposite, although the light was very dim due to the bad weather, but the slides and some small and medium-sized toys in the park attracted my attention.
These things may not be important to today's children, or they are tired of playing with them, but for me, the misfortune of my childhood made me very fond of these toys, and occasionally when I was in a bad mood, I would find a street park to sit alone, watching the children play happily in the company of their parents, and my mood improved.
So, I crossed the street with an umbrella and walked into the street park.
Heavy rain poured down, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and thick dark clouds pressed on the sky of Nancheng, as if the sky would collapse at any time.
I stood in the depths of the park, only to feel that the thunderous rain was particularly beautiful, like a shocking melody, which stimulated my heart, so that I no longer hesitated or hesitated in this strange city, continued to struggle, and tried to gain a firm foothold, so that I could not go back to my hometown and face those people and things that I did not want to face.
It was in that situation that I stumbled upon the dirty fox dog, and I only took it home out of love to clean up its wounds, bathed it, dried it with a hair dryer, found an old blanket to wrap it, and left it at my house for the night.
When I woke up the next day, the little fox had disappeared, and I thought it had escaped by jumping out of the window, and I didn't take it too seriously. After all, I was still living in a remote rental house at the time, and it probably wouldn't have fallen to its death or become disabled if it jumped from a second-floor window.
But what I never imagined was that my momentary unintentional act saved the life of a little fox fairy.
"I happened to experience the baptism of thunder and tribulation that day, and if I survived, I would be able to cultivate into a human form, but if I couldn't survive, I would lose my life. I'm glad I met you kindly, otherwise I would have died. So, I'm a little fox fairy who knows how to repay my kindness, and I just came to you to repay you after I came out of the deep mountains to cultivate. ”
I listened to her unbelievable words, and I felt like I was dreaming, or watching a movie or a novel, otherwise how could a story like the White Snake repay the favor happen in reality?
Seeing my disbelief, the little fox demon was a little anxious, threw away the potato chips in his hand and asked, "Don't you believe that I am the little fox fairy?" Then I'll prove it to you. As she spoke, she jumped down from the sofa, waved her hands, the white light in her palms shone, the air in the room suddenly became cold, and goose feather-like snowflakes floated all over the sky, I was dumbfounded, and quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "Okay, I believe you, no need to prove it." ”
A relieved smile appeared on her little face, and she pinched her handprint, and the snow disappeared immediately, and the temperature gradually warmed up.
I pulled her back on the couch and asked her with a smile, "What's your name?" ”
"Huayan, you call me Huayan."
"Oh, how long are you going to stay on earth?"
Hua Yan was stunned for a moment before asking me, "Don't you want me to stay?" ”
"How so? I'm just afraid of delaying your cultivation, don't you need to continue cultivating in order to ascend to the Immortal Realm? "I thought back to the story that happened in the Xianxia film and asked casually.
"Ascension to the Immortal Realm? We don't need to ascend, because we are born fox immortals, it's just that we need to cultivate to make our mana stronger and our lifespan longer. ”
I was stunned, thinking to myself that the human world and the fairy world mentioned in the Xianxia movie are all made up? Isn't there no fairy realm in this world, no underworld, only one mortal realm?
Seeing that I was a little confused, Hua Yan sat cross-legged and continued to eat snacks while solving my doubts, "As you think, the environment we are in has only one world, but if we aliens want to stay in this world for a long time and eternity, we need to continue to cultivate, improve our cultivation, and enhance our abilities." And you human beings have the reincarnation of yin and yang, and the order of the Heavenly Dao that no one can change is actually similar to our immortality, except that each of your reincarnations will forget the past and start a new life. ”
Her words sound a little absurd, but they are not without logic, maybe in this world, each of us is a living being, but the way of life is different. Human life depends on the continuation of the cycle of life and death, and the life of aliens depends on the depth of mana to prolong.
I realized something for a moment before asking, "Then will you live with me without going back to the mountains to continue cultivating?" ”
"I don't need it for the time being, but I have to go back to the mountains every hundred years to sleep, otherwise I will absorb too much turbidity in the world, which will have a great impact on us."
I nodded, indicating that I roughly understood the rules of her life, although she was a fox demon, or really a fox fairy, but at least she wouldn't hurt me, if I really wanted to hurt, I guess I would die.
So I trust her very much, and I don't feel that she is an outlier like Ling Kai at all, so I need to be on guard at all times in case she will be unfavorable to me.
