Xiao Cong was shocked and exclaimed: "Why don't I know!"

"Of course you don't know, will Tiandao Weng tell you these things?"

"Then why did the senior tell me?"

"It's nothing, I just think you're at the point where you need to know. ”

Xiao Cong tilted his head, unaware of it, he began to think that this old guy must not be so simple.

"What kind of god-killing war, what does it have to do with me, care is chaos, I can't let this old guy lead the way, in case it's a trick!"

He opened his mouth and swallowed the words that he was about to blurt out, then he swallowed his spit.

"Senior, it's curfew time at this time, so you should be able to let your people come to the Humble House for a gathering. ”

He walked forward as he spoke, and walked not far from the old flame-loving beast, his eyes looked condescendingly at the deserted street through the wooden window, and the old flame-loving beast did not look back, and after quietly muttering for a long time, he raised his head slightly and craned his neck to make a strange cry, which was not unpleasant or good, but it made Xiao Cong, a first-time listener, extremely curious.

After about half a cup of tea, the old flame-loving beast stopped, he jumped down from the window with agility, and jumped onto the table to read the book alone, as if Xiao Cong was a dispensable ornament in his eyes.

Xiao Cong was not annoyed, the corners of his mouth slowly flashed a mysterious smile, put his hands behind his back, and quietly looked at the holy city at midnight, the stars were long, and the crescent moon was like a lonely boat, quietly sailing in this mysterious sea of stars.

After a while, he heard a rustling sound outside the door, Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect this unknown friend to come so quickly.

He personally opened the door, and saw a fiery red shadow slipping in like a loach, and when he looked back, it was already kneeling there, Xiao Cong could only see its thin back, but did not see his appearance.

Xiao Cong shook his head, and seemed to let out an inaudible sigh in a trance, and then, turning around, slowly closed the door.

The old flame-loving beast didn't move, still squatting on the desk and reading a book, its face was so serious that Xiao Cong couldn't bear to suspect that he was pretending at this time, of course, he couldn't bear to disturb him, and after the old flame-loving beast turned the page, he slowly raised his head, looked at the little flame-loving beast kneeling under the table, and slowly said:

"You're here. ”

The little flame-loving beast that was still lying on its head just now suddenly raised its head at this time and yelled at the old flame-loving beast a few times. It was only then that Xiao Cong discovered that although the flame-loving beasts were all covered in fiery red, their faces were actually different, just take this little flame-loving beast as an example, the two big fiery red eyes were watery, and their appearance was much better than that of the old flame-loving beast!

The old flame-loving beast turned his gaze to Xiao Cong, who was still looking at the skinny little flame-loving beast at this time, and kept smirking, the old flame-loving beast pretended to cough dryly, Xiao Cong came back to his senses, he looked at the old flame-loving beast in a daze, with an unknown look.

The old flame-loving beast said with a little helplessness in his tone:

"Fourth Young Master Xiao, take something. ”

Xiao Cong really came back to his senses, he laughed a few times, and said:

"Seniors, juniors will come when they go. So saying, he withdrew.

After a while, Xiao Cong returned, holding a jade plate in his hand, on which was a crystal clear jade cup, a stack of neat white cloth towels and a dagger that looked colder and colder under the light of the candle flame, Xiao Cong stood still in front of the table, and the old flame-loving beast raised his chin, signaling Xiao Cong to put things in front of the little flame-loving beast.

Xiao Cong did so, put down a dry thing gently, the little flame-loving beast looked at the old flame-loving beast, the ignorance in his eyes gradually brightened a little, he winked at the old flame-loving beast twice, watery eyes, and immediately did not hesitate to use the thin and short little claw to stand up the blade, and then the other small claw on the erect blade slammed, and quickly moved it to the top of the cup, because the action was too sharp and decisive, so the blood did not break the wound at first, until it moved to the top of the cup mouth about two breaths, the blood rushed out of the wound, and formed a string of blood beads, dripping into the jade cup。

Xiao Cong watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration for the little flame-loving beast, loyalty and filial piety are still difficult to find in the sanctimonious crowd, but at this time, it is vividly reflected in a "red-haired beast", which makes Xiao Cong can't help but sigh, whether it is the decline of the world, or the inevitable trend of development, how do you feel that most people now live like the so-called "people" who live like an animal!

Seeing this, Xiao Cong quickly leaned down to stop the little flame-loving beast, and suddenly pressed its little claws on the white cloth towel placed on the other side of the jade plate, but the little flame-loving beast pulled its claws out of Xiao Cong's hands and moved it back to the top of the cup, and the blood beads were drenched into a red line on the white cloth towel.

Xiao Cong turned his head to look at the old flame-loving beast, and said hurriedly,

"Senior, that's enough, let him stop!"

The old flamelover slowly raised its claws, slowly shook them in the air, and then put them down again, the little flamelover tilted its head to see that the old flamelover had finished this action, and blinked its eyes twice, at this time its eyes had lost all the agility and loveliness of the party, and the drooping eyelids were all gloomy, and it slowly withdrew its claws, squatted down, and slowly added wounds there.

But because the wound was too big and the blood was bleeding nonstop, no matter how hard he tried to add it, he couldn't lick it clean, but it still kept licking there, and all at once, the red blood adhered to its red hairs and spread to the ground.

Xiao Cong took a narrow strip of cloth from the cloth towel, gently dragged it over the injured little paw of the little flame-loving beast, slowly bandaged it, and gently wrapped the strip of cloth around the wound. The little flame-loving beast didn't have any resistance, just quietly let Xiao Cong fiddle, its dull eyes on Xiao Cong's side face, and there was a blank look in it.

After the bandaging was completed, Xiao Cong took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from the jade bottle, gently placed it in front of the little flame-loving beast, and sighed softly:

"Eat it, it will help you recover. ”

The little flame-loving beast lay its head on its stomach, put its nose in front of the pill and sniffed, and then raised its head suddenly, and the color was gone, replaced by a look of excitement on its face, yes, it was similar to the excitement of a person, Xiao Cong could even clearly feel the little flame-loving beast's accelerated heartbeat at this time, and the thing in front of him seemed to make it very happy.

But the next scene made Xiao Cong a little incomprehensible, I saw the little flame-loving beast pick up the elixir, and did not take it by himself, but ran to the old flame-loving beast's side, stretching his neck and tilting his head, it seemed that he wanted to honor the elixir to the old flame-loving beast, Xiao Cong thought that the old flame-loving beast was a strong man of the previous generation, how could he brazenly accept such a cheap thing from the younger generation, and it was still at this moment, but unexpectedly, the old flame-loving beast actually leaned over and took the pill from the mouth of the little flame-loving beast, and then swallowed it.

Swallow it!

Xiao Cong felt that his face was hot at this time, and he felt that there were thousands of grass and mud horses galloping in his heart, was this really a senior who was once famous and worthy of his admiration? He felt that he was a little hesitant at this time......

"Senior, you ........."

Xiao Cong was choked for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

The old flame-loving beast's face did not change, he glanced at Xiao Cong deeply, and sighed:

"Xiao Sigongzi is so generous, as soon as he makes a move, it is a two-lamp Huiqi Pill, which makes the old man envious, but do you know that such a second-class pill is difficult to find a few in my clan, and you so easily give such a treasure to an unknown junior in my clan, should I be ashamed or grateful? To be honest, the old man is ashamed of himself. ”

After a pause, he continued:

"But Xiao Sigongzi has ever thought that your grain of Huixi Pill is so prosperous that the juniors of our clan can stand it? He has not eaten enough since he was a child, his physique is weak, and he released a lot of blood tonight, your grain of Huixi Pill is to let him return to the light and return to the west in an instant, Fourth Prince, please listen to me, if you really want to reward the juniors of my clan, then order someone to cook a bowl of fresh soup for him, this little blessing, he can still afford it." ”

It was the first time Xiao Cong had heard the old flame-loving beast say such things in one breath, but after listening to it, he felt that his heart was particularly unpleasant, it seemed to be a little sour, cold and miserable, the night was already deep, where did Xiao Cong find a cook to help the little flame-loving beast make this insignificant bowl of fresh soup, but since the old flame-loving beast had already said it, Xiao Cong refused at this time but felt that he was a little bit different, he raised his right hand and touched his nose, and he had an idea,

"I almost forgot my old job!"

Xiao Cong slowly walked to the moonlight in front of the window, looked up at the deep and boundless sea of stars with his hands behind his back, and after groaning for a while, he took out a few spirit stones from his arms, posed a strange pattern in the moonlight, and then got up.

Xiao Cong smiled, leaned over and reached out to pick up the sleepy-eyed little flame-loving beast, put it into the confined space composed of white light paths on that side, and got up and said to the old flame-loving beast:

"Now the seniors can rest assured. ”

The old flame-loving beast stared closely at the white path of light, silent, for a long time, he let out a long sigh, as if he was pouring out the weight of ten thousand years of grudges, he slowly spoke, with deep sadness and helplessness in his tone,

"Alas, I think my clan has lived and multiplied for tens of millions of years, and now I can't even make the most basic magic array, but you, Xiao Cong, as a yellow-mouthed child, are a first-order exquisite small array as soon as you make a move, but it's a pity that heaven is unfair!"

Xiao Cong smiled and said:

"The seniors said this is bad, the most basic thing that the Heavenly Dao talks about is a balance, being in a desperate situation naturally has the benefits of being in a desperate situation, and being in peace naturally has the hidden danger of being in peace, the reason why the flame-loving beast clan has not emerged in the Xuanzhen world for thousands of years, but it is not yet time, the seniors, please think about it, if the flame-loving beast clan is as tireless as ever, indomitable, how can I be afraid that there will be no future, the younger generation thinks that the nobles should be obscure at this time, ready to go, and the predecessors should now let themselves and the clansmen calm down. ”

"You are right, as the head of a clan, can I ignore the monks' cruelty to our clan!"

"Seniors, people have their own lives, life and death are impermanent, the balance of gains and losses always exists, the predecessors and their own people have always adhered to the morality that human beings are proud of but are difficult to adhere to, isn't it a kind of gain? Dare to ask the seniors, although the flame-loving beast clan has external troubles, but there are internal worries? Although the flame-loving beasts are weak in strength and humble in status, they are happier than many high-ranking and powerful people, and the gains and losses are just the hearts of all sentient beings. Humanity is: willing to give, willing to give, willing to gain, contentment to be happy. ”

The old flame-loving beast looked at Xiao Cong quietly, his eyes were as deep as two blood-colored cold pools with no visible bottom, Xiao Cong's face sank like water, his eyes were ancient wells without waves, the two faced each other, confronting each other, this is not a confrontation between people, but a confrontation between the Tao that people adhere to, this is also a realm, a realm that is rare in a lifetime to go beyond the world and the senses and reach the realm of thought.

At this time, the communication of the Tao is no longer limited to language, but invisible, but also tangible.
