Chapter Twenty-Seven: Death Together
In the evening, the demon slaying duo composed of Zhang Xiaofan and Shi came to the outside of the grove in the Black Stone Cave, and happened to meet Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan, who fled in embarrassment because of Baguio's deception......
"Then what you told me during the day about the difficult future is also false?" Zhang Xiaofan stared at Zhou Zhou Xian with an unkind expression, at this time, if he couldn't react, it was not because he was wooden, but really stupid.
"You actually fell for him." Baguio's smiling eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
Zhang Xiaofan was embarrassed and couldn't advance or retreat, and Zhou Zhou Xian on the side was also distracted, and his eyes couldn't stop rolling.
"Alright." Seeing the embarrassment of the scene, Shi reminded: "Brother Zhang, the business is important. β
"Yes." Zhang Xiaofan nodded, regardless of the others, turned around and went into the woods, and Baguio persuaded him unsuccessfully, so he also followed......
"Senior Zhou, my junior brother is so deceiving." Mo Wen's faint voice came from behind Zhou Zhou Xian, and Zhou Zhou Xian was so frightened that he took out another spell to escape.
"Senior Zhou, it's me." Mo Wen walked out of the dark shadow, "How is it?" Interested in checking it out? β
"Whew...... pretended to be a ghost and scared the old man to death. Zhou Zhou Xian put down the spell, "Anyway, why are you dressed like this?" β
At this time, Mo Wen was no longer wearing the same robe, but changed into a white power suit, with a matching white jade belt wrapped around his waist, and a large hat with a veil on his head - it looked nondescript and very weird.
"It's just a hobby." Mo asked a smile, "Do you want to see it?" β
"You're not helping?" Zhou Xian asked curiously.
"I've looked for the demon fox." Mo Wen stood with his hands in his hands, "I promised them, as long as they don't kill people and don't overly squeeze the villagers of Xiaochi Town, I won't make a move?" β
"Why? Didn't your teacher teach you to subdue demons and eliminate demons? Zhou Xian frowned.
"The fox has reined in a lot, and since they have fulfilled their promise, I have no reason to make a move." Mo Wen avoided answering Zhou Xian's questions.
ββ¦β¦ Let's go together, it is said that there are many treasures in the yokai cave. After a moment of silence, Zhou Zhou Xian turned around and walked into the woods, and Xiaohuan followed closely.
"Then you're going to be disappointed." Mo asked "hehe" and smiled, and walked side by side with Zhou Xian.
β¦β¦
Komatsugang, the moon is like frost,
People are like fluttering flowers, and they are also hurt.
Ten years, three thousand years,
I hope we will not forget each other.
A mournful female voice came from the depths of the woods, and Mo Wen quickened his pace after hearing it, and took two steps to the place where the "Full Moon Ancient Well" was. In that clearing, the stone was confronting the three-tailed demon fox, Baguio was standing not far from Zhang Xiaofan, and Zhang Xiaofan, the protagonist of the Mandate of Heaven, poked his head towards the full moon ancient well.
"Broken!" Thinking that Zhang Xiaofan had fallen for the charm of the three-tailed demon fox, the stone no longer left his hand, inserted his huge Zen staff into the ground, and launched the killing move of his magic weapon.
With his movements, with him as the center, the grass and trees of the two-zhang radius of the land suddenly sank deep into the ground, and then the golden light shone brightly, turning the little demons that entangled them into ashes.
"What do you see?" The three-tailed demon fox was not moved by the power of the stone, and asked Zhang Xiaofan lightly.
Zhang Xiaofan's face was weird, and he didn't answer, and attacked with a burning stick in his hand. Seeing this, the stone also bullied himself, and the three of them fought like this.
After a long fight, the three separated.
"I have no grudge against you, so why do you want to kill me?" The three-tailed demon fox stroked the long hair on his forehead, "Is it because I'm a monster?" β
"I am on the right path, so naturally I want to subdue demons and eliminate demons and eliminate harm for the people!" Zhang Xiaofan replied without thinking.
"Exactly!" Stone a staff, "Evil is invincible, and the demon is better to be caught quickly!" β
"Tied up?" The three-tailed demon fox smiled, "Do you want me to wait for death?" Young man, those righteous and awe-inspiring words were all taught to you by your teacher. What if I say that those words are wrong? β
Zhang Xiaofan snorted, and just wanted to refute, but unconsciously remembered his conversation with Wan Wan:
"Is it evil to kill too many people?"
"Black pigs and white pigs, but they are all pigs? The righteous path and the devil's path, but they are all human? Humans, animals, demons and birds, but they are all living beings? β
"The right way and the evil way are really that important to you, right?"
β¦β¦
Is what I know necessarily right? What is the true way of heaven and the true justice? Zhang Xiaofan was stunned, this is the deadliest on the battlefield!
"Be careful!" The stone shouted, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly came back to his senses, but found that the three-tailed demon fox rushed up, and the jade palm turned into a sharp claw, grabbing him with the sound of the howling wind.
The stone was entangled by countless demons that came at some point, and he was unable to do so.
At the critical moment, Zhang Xiaofan reluctantly raised the burning stick in his hand to block the claws that he caught......
"What is this?" Zhou Xian's eyes widened, "How could such a fierce thing appear on a Qingyun disciple?" β
"A peerless treasure made of blood-devouring beads and soul blood." Mo Wen's faint voice came, "But this thing is dangerous, and people who don't have a certain amount of cultivation can easily be eroded by the ferocious aura and turn into a monster who loves to kill." β
"You already knew? Why not persuade him to lose it? Zhou Zhou Xian was furious: "Do you want to kill him?" β
"Senior Zhou, he's a chaotic demon." Mo Wen had a mysterious smile on his face, "You should understand." β
"Are you eavesdropping on us?" Xiaohuan pursed her lips.
"Hehe, just let me eavesdrop on your conversation." Mo Wen didn't argue, "I believe that I can withstand this blood-devouring anger." β
"Are you really a disciple of Qingyun?" Zhou Xian looked at Mo with burning eyes.
"It's like a fake." Mo Wen casually drew a blue light twinkling Tai Chi pattern in the air, but except for Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan, the others were either fighting fiercely, or they were not concerned about one person, so they didn't have time to pay attention to him.
β¦β¦
After the sneak attack on Zhang Xiaofan failed, the three-tailed demon fox decisively used the Xuanhuo Jian to force the two to retreat, Baguio immediately joined the battle, the three-tailed demon fox glanced at Mo Wen who was standing aside, and then escaped into the black stone cave, and the three followed.
"Alright." Mo Wen walked towards the full moon ancient well, "Senior, don't you come and take a look?" This is a full moon well. β
"Full Moon Ancient Well? Is it that at the time of the full moon, if a person looks down, he will see the ancient well of his most beloved person or thing? Zhou Xian was stunned when he heard this, and immediately reacted.
"The seniors are really well-informed." Mo Wen smiled, and looked down at the ancient well......
A clear phantom quickly emerged and then exploded, the last one was a woman, but unfortunately the figure was broken before it was completely condensed, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but Mo Wen had already noticed the identity of that person, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart...... But just when Mo Wen thought that the power of the full moon ancient well had been displayed, the images of a tall and handsome middle-aged man and a gentle and amiable beautiful young woman gradually became clear, and the familiar smile made Mo Wen's eyes hot, and an indescribable emotion in his chest quickly fermented...... Mo Wen's reaction was so obvious that even Xiaohuan and Zhou Zhou Xian on the side noticed that he was wrong, and did not come forward, but waited quietly.
[Na, it's been a long time...... Mom and Dad. Mo Wen's nose was a little sour, [Sure enough, what has been lost is the most precious? γ
[Sure enough, in the end, I still didn't find my goal, the clarity of those figures represents the degree to which I care about that person, but Senior Sister Lu is not as important as the old man and Xiaofan in my heart...... Also, after all, she and I have only traveled together once, and acquaintances are not counted, just acquaintances. Mo Wen took a deep breath [I just need to become stronger, maybe after I am strong enough, I can find a way to resurrect my parents. γ
"Boy, what do you see?" Seeing that Mo Wen had returned to normal, Zhou Zhou Xian pulled him away, and he couldn't answer, so he bent down, "A lot of gold." β
"That's a lot of sugar gourds." Xiaohuan also came up.
"Senior...... That's it. Mo Wen suddenly couldn't raise the interest of making trouble with Li Xun.
"You...... Who? Zhou Xian just wanted to say something, but suddenly became alert and took out a charm.
"Li Xun, don't hide, come out." Mo Wen lowered his head, "Or do the people of Incense Valley like to hide in the shadows?" "[Li Xun, why do you appear every time I'm in a bad mood? γ
"Isn't this Qingyun's Senior Brother Mo? Why do you dress up so alone? Could it be that Qingyun disciples have to cover their faces when they go out? Li Xun led Yan Hong out of the forest and sneered.
took off the hat and threw it aside, Mo asked and held Yunying tightly, "Li Xun, do you want me to beat you?" Miss Yanhong can also go together, I don't mind. β
"Senior brother!" The woman who was silent grabbed the excited Li Xun and signaled that he was down to business.
"Whew...... Brother Mo of Qingyun, why are you here for a reason? calmed down the anger in his heart, Li Xun looked at Mo Wen with an unkind expression, but Mo Wen's face on the other side was not very good.
"Find my junior brother." Mo Wen opened his eyes and said nonsense, uh, it's not nonsense.
"Oh?" Li Xun didn't expect Mo to ask the reason for appearing here to be this, "Which junior brother is here?" β
"Xiao Fan, I only know that he and a disciple of the side branch of Buddhism have eliminated the demon, and it is just a three-tailed demon fox." Mo Wen replied, "I'm too lazy to go down, just wait for him to come out here." β
"Three-tailed demon fox...... I see! Li Xun's face changed, and he didn't bother to ask, so he rushed directly down the black stone cave.
"Isn't Senior Brother Mo worried about him?" Yan Hong asked softly.
"Xiaofan is very strong, go chase your senior brother." Mo Wen leaned against a tree and narrowed his eyes.
"......" Seeing that Mo Wen was such an obvious expulsion, Yan Hong couldn't say anything more, and after taking a deep look at Mo Wen, she chased Li Xun down the Black Stone Cave.
"The people of the Valley of Incense?" Zhou Zhou Xian put away his cynical look and said in a deep voice.
"yes." Mo Wen didn't open his eyes, "Senior, your old man is well-informed, but your cultivation is really weak, so let's find a place to rest...... Let's go back to Koike Town. β
ββ¦β¦ Xiaohuan, let's go. Zhou Zhou Xian was silent for a while, and then returned the same way with Xiaohuan, leaving Mo Wen alone to lean against the tree.
γβ¦β¦ Dad, Mommy. Mo Wen silently recalled the smiling faces of his parents who had just been in the well and the warmth that had been shattered decades ago, and tears fell quietly.
β¦β¦
In the black stone cave, Zhang Xiaofan and others were scattered by the ancient xenomorph big black leech, Zhang Xiaofan was swept into the depths of the cave by the big black leech, and Zhang Xiaofan comprehended the first volume of the "Book of Heaven" at the time of life and death, and broke away from the control of the big black leech. Later, in order to avoid the attacking tentacles, Zhang Xiaofan broke into the Fire Dragon Cave in a daze, and there was the place where the six-tailed demon fox cultivated.
"Ah...... Ha...... Ha ......" Zhang Xiaofan wiped the blood on his face (he hit the wall all the way), and then opened the stone that pressed his skull, and observed the situation in the cave.
This cavern is not as dark as the tunnels he passed through before, but is filled with a faint red light, and occasionally a few sparks float from the ground, which is very beautiful.
βοΌβ Zhang Xiaofan realized that the place where he was standing was a stone platform, a stone platform surrounded by boiling lava. From time to time, bubbles bubble up from the lava under the stage, bursting with red magma, like a blooming Manshu Sahua, beautiful and dangerous.
γHere...... Where exactly? No way! Baguio ......] Zhang Xiaofan dragged his wounds, clenched the burning stick, pushed off the gravel that pressed on him, and stood up.
"It's!" Zhang Xiaofan was stunned.
It was then that he realized that the platform led to the center of the lava lake, and at the end of the platform was an oval-shaped nest, where a huge fox with six tails lay motionless and peaceful......
"Goo." Zhang Xiaofan swallowed his saliva, held the burning stick tightly in his hand, and slowly approached the white fox.
Closer, closer, Zhang Xiaofan is now only two feet away from the white fox, he can even see the gently swaying fur on its body, at this time, the white fox opened its eyes.
"Click." With a soft sound, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly stopped his footsteps, and the blue light of the burning stick loomed.
"Young man, it's really embarrassing." The white fox's deep voice sounded, "You're here to kill me." β
"Naturally!" Zhang Xiaofan unconsciously aggravated his tone, as if he was emboldening himself, "You are bringing disaster to the world, and I, as a disciple of the righteous path, naturally want to eliminate harm for the people!" β
"Hehe, this is like a righteous path disciple." The white fox smiled weakly.
"What do you mean?!" Zhang Xiaofan was uncomfortable listening to it.
"Considering your age, you're only twenty." The white fox said unhurriedly, "How do you say I have brought disaster to the world?" β
"Ten miles away from Koike Town!" Zhang Xiaofan didn't think twice. "You snatch people and livestock, and you hurt people!"
"Young man, what are you talking about in the 'world'?" The white fox's deep eyes suddenly shot a sharp edge, and his voice gradually became high-pitched, "The 'world' you are talking about is just from a human perspective, logging and burning forests, hunting beasts and fishing, all of which should be." But have you ever thought about it, in the great world, is there only one kind of living being? Is it cruel for you to destroy my home and take my life? β
"Didn't think about it! If you wait for humans to be strong, you can do whatever you want, and now I am stronger than the people in the town, and I can kill people,...... After all, it's just the jungle, you say? Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan didn't answer, the white fox continued to talk to himself, but his voice gradually weakened, as if the question just now consumed a lot of energy.
Zhang Xiaofan was silent, and countless words swirled in his head, leaving him at a loss......
"What do you want me to say?" After a long time, Zhang Xiaofan stared at the white fox's eyes tightly and slowly spoke, "You all say that you are right, reason with me...... When will the demons be reasonable? It's just demagogy, what else are you going to do? β
"Anyone else has told you this?" The white fox couldn't help but think of the Qingyun disciple who broke into the cave ten days ago.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't answer, and the pitch-black body of the burning stick gradually rose, "Demon, suffer death!" β
"Bang!" Before Zhang Xiaofan could make a move, a loud noise came from behind him, and Zhang Xiaofan didn't dare to move lightly, concentrating on vigilance.
"Aung Aang!" The red fire dragon rushed in with a long roar, ignoring Zhang Xiaofan, and swept straight over his head, flew to the white fox and stopped, and a white shadow fell from the dragon's head to him, it was the three-tailed demon fox.
"Big brother, are you okay?" The three-tailed demon fox pounced on the white fox and asked anxiously.
"This righteous little brother hasn't done anything to my dying fox yet." The white fox smiled.
Zhang Xiaofan had a fever on his face when he heard this, and lowered his head.
"Big brother, there are two enemies who come this time with high cultivation, I ...... I'm no match for them. The three-tailed demon fox looked sad.
"Is that the guy coming?" The white fox frowned.
"No, he only looked outside the cave and didn't make a move."
"It's still a credit, he should understand that I'm going to die." The white fox smiled bitterly, and immediately said to the three-tailed demon fox Zhengse, "You go, use the Xuanhuo Jian to make the fire dragon rush up, and under the panic, they may not be able to stop you." β
"Big brother!" The three-tailed demon fox looked at him with red eyes.
"Can't you see it?" The white fox hesitated for a moment, raised his head and said, "I can't do it for a long time, you don't have to give your life for me...... Listen to me and live well, okay? β
Looking at the white fox's hopeful gaze, the three-tailed demon fox silently took out the Xuanhuo Jian, and tears rolled down his eyes: "Three hundred years, big brother," the voice was sad and sad, and the liver and intestines were broken, "It's been three hundred years, since I first opened my mind, after I met you in Huqi Mountain, I followed you, the ends of the world, Liuhe wilderness, even if I was worried day and night, being chased and killed, I have never regretted it......"
Zhang Xiaofan looked at this scene and felt that his concept had been greatly impacted: It turns out that demons will also shed tears?
"But today, why do you want me to go?" The three-tailed demon fox pressed the faint red glow of the Xuanhuo Jian to her chest.
"No!" The white fox didn't know where the strength came from, and he actually propped up his torn body and threw himself at her.
But it was too late, and the red light easily passed through her chest and through her back.
"That way, you won't let me go again." With a trace of blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, there was another thrilling beauty in her smile.
Zhang Xiaofan watched the woman's thin body slowly fall in front of the white fox, closed his eyes with peace of mind, and the white fox struggled to crawl forward, oozing blood from his seven orifices at all......
[What is the difference between them and us?] Is it because of the difference in blood? But what is the impulse from the bottom of the heart? Zhang Xiaofan let go of what he was thinking, ran two steps forward, carefully picked up the body of the three-tailed demon fox, gently placed it beside the white fox, and then slowly retreated.
The three-tailed demon fox's face was pale, and blood was gushing out of her chest, dyeing the fur under the white fox's neck red, and Zhang Xiaofan on the side could clearly feel that life was passing quickly from her body, even so, her eyes were still gentle like water, "Big brother, I'm ...... I'll be with you, forever ......."
"Whew." The white fox looked at her closed eyes and roared miserably......
β¦β¦
"Young man, can you do me a favor?" I don't know how long it took, and the white fox's voice was hoarse.
"What?" Zhang Xiaofan asked softly.
"Throw the two of us under the lava." The white fox hugged the body that had lost its temperature tightly.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, looked into its eyes, but only saw incomparable firmness.
"Hmm." Zhang Xiaofan nodded heavily and stepped forward to pick them up.
After a while, Zhang Xiaofan walked to the end of the platform, and the white fox finally moved his gaze from the woman in his arms to Zhang Xiaofan, and his slightly reddened eyes.
"Young man, why do you have to do this?" The white fox looked at him with a smile, as if looking at a junior, and then gently took out the Xuanhuo Jian on the woman's chest and tied it to Zhang Xiaofan's left arm.
"This is the supreme divine object that my clan has exchanged for countless lives, so I will give it to you as a souvenir." The blood flowing from the corner of the white fox's mouth gradually turned black, and a trace of cold air came out of his body, "But ...... Don't let anyone else see it......"
The sound fades until it is inaudible......
[Girl, I really should have let you go sooner...... But why, in my heart, I thought that it would be so good to die with you...... I'm a selfish guy. The white fox looked at the woman in his arms and closed his eyes.
"Boom! Bang bang bang! A huge voice sounded from behind Zhang Xiaofan, and five rays of light burst out from the smoke and dust, rushing towards Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't look back, just bit his lip, took a deep breath, and then threw the two foxes in his arms......
"Xiao Fan!" Baguio eagerly rushed to the person she loved, calling his name softly.
But the young man just looked fixedly at the figure that fell into the magma, and didn't say a word.
"I hope you can be happy in your next life.] Outside the cave, Mo Wen looked up at the meteors that crossed the night sky. Silently bless this couple who share life and death.
