As Tang Bonian entered, he turned two corners and came to a hall, which was simply furnished, with only a few futons, three cases, and a copper incense burner with a carved hollow lid. There is a silk screen painted with mountains and rivers behind the case in the middle, and there is a woman sitting in front of the screen, looking at that age is not small, although the charm is not reduced, but under the closer look, there are fine lines at the corners of the eyes, the woman has simple clothes, only a bright silver hairpin is pinned to her head, a goose-white skirt and a lotus-colored jacket, and she is looking intently at Tang Ping who walked in.

"Why don't you kowtow and meet your master!" When Tang Bonian saw his granddaughter come in, he said busily.

"Shut up, when did I say I was going to take in apprentices?"

Tang Bonian didn't care, and sat down behind a case, and next to him there was a broken porcelain after the tea cup fell, which must have been thrown by the woman before.

"I've seen my predecessors"

Although she was a little embarrassed, Tang Ping still made a big bow in front of the woman in a proper manner.

"Look at your granddaughter, it's much more polite than you!"

That Tang Bonian didn't care, just smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Kid, don't pay attention to your unobtrusive grandfather, come, come here, let me see." The woman changed her face when she faced Tang Ping, and said softly.

"Yes"

Tang Ping came to the woman's case.

"Come here." The woman patted her side, stretched out her hand and took a futon to signal Tang Ping, who only sat down on the futon.

The woman first grabbed Tang Ping's wrist, then let go after a moment and asked

"How old is it, kid?"

"Back to the seniors, the juniors are ten years old."

"Well, I heard you have a little fox, let me see how?"

Tang Ping was very surprised when she heard this, looked at Tang Bonian, and saw Tang Bonian nodding to her, so she took Xiaobai out of the spirit beast bag.

Xiaobai seemed to know that this was a very good place, shrunk in Tang Ping's arms with his tail between his legs, and shivered, and let out a low cry of fear like "duh", as if the woman beside Tang Ping was her natural enemy, which made Tang Ping both surprised and worried.

"Don't be afraid, little one."

The woman said this to Xiaobai, and reached out from Tang Ping's arms to hug Xiaobai, although Tang Ping was not at ease, she didn't dare to disobey, so she could only stare at it with good eyes, for fear that the woman would snatch her Xiaobai away.

The woman hugged Xiaobai and put it on her lap, and Xiaobai was even more frightened, and she didn't dare to whisper anymore at this time, but her whole body trembled, and she didn't dare to move. The woman gently rubbed Xiaobai's pure white hair with her hand, so that Xiaobai slowly calmed down. After Xiao Bai was no longer so afraid, the woman raised Xiao Bai's hands in front of her to carefully look at Xiao Bai's eyes, ears and tail, and carefully studied them for a while before handing Xiao Bai to Tang Ping again.

Tang Ping took it and hurriedly hugged the little guy tightly in her arms, if this Xiaobai was snatched away, it would really rob her heart.

"This little fox is good, take care of it."

"Yes," Tang Ping replied.

The woman seemed to glance at Tang Bonian casually at this time, and Tang Bonian understood, so he said to Tang Ping: "Girl, you wait in the courtyard first, and then call you later." ”

Tang Ping listened and saluted the woman again, and then walked out with Xiaobai in her arms.

After Tang Ping walked out, Tang Bonian asked:

"How?"

"It seems that you are right, that little fox really seems to have a few traces of heavenly fox blood, but I don't dare to be so sure, don't talk about me, even my master and his old man have only seen it once from afar, and it is said that that time was extremely dangerous, and his old man almost fell on the spot. However, according to the records in the classics, your granddaughter's little white fox can match it. If that's the case, hum, I really can't imagine that Senior Brother Qiu has worked so hard to find the different species in the world, and your granddaughter actually has one with him. ”

Speaking of this, the woman's eyes became sharper, and she stared at Tang Bonian and said word by word:

"Aren't you afraid of my idea of beating that little white fox?"

Tang Bonian didn't care, he also looked at the woman, and scratched his fingers over the edge of the teacup, and he smiled lightly for a moment.

"Humph! Even if that girl's white fox really has the blood of a heavenly fox, you have also seen it just now, how is the condition? At best, it's just a little fox cub, more than 108,000 miles worse than your bird, how long will it take for this white fox to cultivate to the color of your bird? I'm afraid it's another torment from refining qi to knotting, right? Can Senior Sister survive? Don't miss the big deal! ”

As soon as these words came out, the woman was unmoved, the sharpness in her eyes became stronger, and she stared at Tang Bonian and said:

"There is a way, our Jade Spirit really has a way to make that little white fox grow faster."

Tang Bonian took a sip of the teacup, looked at the woman and smiled.

"Good! If you make up your mind, I'll give you the white fox, but I'll see you abandon your bird first!" ”

After speaking, Tang Bonian put the teacup on the case in front of him with a "duke".

With this "du" sound, the woman's complexion began to change, and the flush color appeared on her face, and then faded in an instant, and the unbearable and remorseful expression on her face gradually became stronger, and finally sighed as if she was deflated, but she stared at Tang Bonian with disgust and said:

"Alas! Reluctant, indeed reluctant! You are also damaged enough, knowing that my eyes are red, but you deliberately pushed this child towards me, are you deliberately testing me? ”

"How dare you, Senior Sister, still use me to test the stability of Dao Heart?"

"Originally, I thought it was very stable, but unfortunately it is still worse than you, you old thing! But even if I don't fight this little white fox's idea, what about Senior Brother Qiu? If he knew the mystery of the white fox next to this child, he would probably want to rob it, how could he be easy to provoke? You didn't have a good heart when you sent this child to me, did you? ”

When Tang Bonian heard this, the coldness in his eyes flashed, but the woman still saw it, and she couldn't help but feel palpitations in her heart.

"Since I brought this child into the sect, I didn't plan to hide it from Senior Brother Qiu, there are some things, my granddaughter doesn't need to look for it, he searched the world but couldn't ask for it, this is all a fateful word, if this can't be seen through, then Senior Brother Qiu won't have any great success. This girl is the flesh and blood of one of my brothers, who died for me in his early years, alas! If it weren't for him, even if I had my today, how could I have preserved his flesh and blood, if Senior Brother Qiu beats my granddaughter's idea, dare to touch her a finger, hum! I will give him an arm! Besides, since you recognize the origin of the fox, you should also know that in the entire sect, I can only feel at ease if I put this child here with you. ”

The woman nodded and sighed, "I'm afraid that Senior Brother Qiu will probably hate me to death by then, alas! ”

After speaking, he stared at Tang Bonian and said:

"That child's spiritual root, are you really right?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, outsiders think that this girl is a hidden spirit root, even the people of my Tang family. But I asked the girl's father and mother carefully, and the maid who served the girl also asked, and even the girl I questioned, and the day when her spiritual root appeared was about the same as the day when the white fox appeared. Unfortunately, I wasn't there at the time and didn't get to see it with my own eyes. But then again, if I am here, the fox may not dare to show up, and it will also delay this girl. ”

After speaking, Tang Bonian looked up at the woman and asked:

"You tried that girl just now, what do you think?"

"This kind of spiritual root is too rare and rare, and I can only judge it based on the records in the book, but it really matches the records in the classics."

"I told others that this child was a hidden spirit root, hoping to confuse the past, but I didn't expect to attract the villain to covet it, and he was also the person in charge of my Tang family, alas, my third brother has shallow eye sockets, and he is only greedy for a little profit, but he almost harmed this girl. This child was married to the Qin family when he didn't have a spiritual root, and after having a spiritual root, the Qin family refused to withdraw from his relatives but wanted to change his parents, and changed a qualified child in their family to marry my granddaughter, Qin family, hum! I have some of their handles in my hands, but I have to check it carefully, the water of the Qin family is very turbid and deep, and they also have powerful feet, but I always feel that if I check it carefully, maybe it is a Suo family again. When the Qin family saw me blocking it, they wanted to rob that girl in the Tang family, forcing me to hurt people! I've told you all this, so I won't mention it! ”

"Didn't you say your granddaughter was very clever? I saw it just now, and it is indeed a smart look. ”

"Clever! Hmph, don't be smart, you'll know later, I just tell you, the Qin family didn't give up later, and the kid they chose to change relatives also followed to Youming Valley, after all, the sect and the Qin family didn't tear their faces, and I can't stop it, but do you know what happened to the kid of the Qin family? ”

"Oh, what did you do that girl?"

"That girl made a few good friends in Youming Valley, and together, they forced that Qin family kid to swallow his own Zhuang Ling Dan!"

"What!?" The woman was amazed, "You didn't do it, did you?" ”

"Me? Hum! The old man is not going to depreciate himself to do this. ”

"Haha, this girl, I really couldn't see it just now, she is well-behaved and clever, and this means, well, it is exactly what I want!"

"Don't think that girl is well-behaved, hmph, what the hell, if you don't pay attention, you won't know what trouble will happen to you! Alas, it was also my carelessness, seeing that she was in the valley to protect herself, so she was negligent, and the little lotus lake that came later, fortunately, there was no danger, otherwise the old man was afraid that he would regret it for life! ”

The woman listened and nodded.

"I heard you tell me about it, and it was the little white fox who saved your granddaughter."

"Hmm!"

What this woman heard was only what Tang Bonian said to people, and she was afraid that she could not guess the real scene.

"It seems that the white fox is indeed extremely intelligent, if the white fox is not fake, and your granddaughter's spiritual root is not fake, then it is a big deal, really don't ......"

Before she could go any further, the woman raised a finger and pointed upward.

"There's no need, she's just a child now, just a toddler, if it really becomes a climate in the future, no matter how those predecessors act, it's her creation, now we just have to take care of her, don't let her go crooked, just let her go smoother."

"Okay!" The woman sighed, thinking for a while about the help that this girl and the white fox could bring to her in the future, as well as the consequences of possible discord with Senior Brother Qiu, and finally the woman sneered, can't I even shelter one of my own apprentices? What's more, I'm not alone in sheltering her.

She made up her mind, so she said decisively, "I have received your heart!" I look good at this kid, to my liking. If you dare to send, I will dare to accept it, and in the future, under my door, I will naturally be sheltered, if there is a day in the future, this child can really help me a lot, old thing, to be honest, you will really not be hot at that time? ”

Tang Bonian smiled after hearing this, stared at the woman and said solemnly:

"The old man's cultivation is different from your jade spirit vein, the old man just wants to be under the protection of you and me, this girl is safe."

"Good! So I took the child. ”
