Diancang Mountain has nineteen peaks, if there is a sword immortal sword of the ten realms of refining qi swaying up, you can see the peaks below, just connected into a lotus flower shape, before a touch of fish belly white reflects the east, exuding a hazy mist, like a fairyland.

In the two days after leaving Taoxi Temple, Xia Ze, Xu Xiuzhu and his entourage crossed a total of three peaks connected to Qingyang Town, Zhonghe, Guanyin, and Xieyang, which still took care of the foot strength of the four sedan chair bearers, and then crossed a Sanyang Peak, a Shengying Peak, and really came to the border of Daqi.

At first, the head of the sedan chair who guarded against Xu Xiuzhu like a thief, at this moment he sat honestly in the sedan chair, the ordinary physique is not comparable to the martial arts, and the muscles and bones are broken for a hundred days, if he is sent back to Yuqiao Town, with his courage, I am afraid that he would rather go around most of the territory of the Ethereal Continent than go up to this Cangshan.

His attitude towards Xu Xiuzhu slowed down a little, after all, his own young lady gave up the sedan chair to sit for him, and Xu Xiuzhu also saved his life, he was 10,000 unwilling, what could he do?

Therefore, along the way, Yan Yingluo, the eldest lady, was full of joy and her favorite person most of the time, turning over one mountain after another, if there was a river that could not be crossed, frowning, there would be a tall man, squatting on the ground stupidly, carrying her over.

Xia Ze saw it in his eyes, his face didn't say anything, and he was so envious in his heart.

If you don't fall asick in your life, you will be lovesick, and you will be lovesick.

With the experience of Taoxi Temple, this bustling businessman recognized Xia Ze, a ready-made protector, and spontaneously formed a group, resolutely refusing to go too far from Xia Ze and his party.

What made Xia Ze a little helpless was that he still followed Li Sheng and Li Qingshuang and his party, and since he was turned away that day, Li Mifang looked at him with a little resentment from the woman who was guarding the boudoir and looked at the negative heart.

The anger and shame after the rejection of the self-recommended pillow gave Bichuro an opportunity to plant a wisp of demonic nature into her heart, and then she tore up the talisman array and reshaped the demon body with the power of incense.

He Xu hadn't said a word to Xia Ze since that day, in fact, Xia Ze could see that he wasn't really angry with him, but he was worried that once he was relieved with himself, he would send him back to Yunxi Town, so He Xu was really sad.

As for the fox girl Ayu, in addition to being respectful to Xia Ze, she will sit alone in a secluded place to meditate and pranayama when she rests these days, and from time to time there are unscrupulous wanderers who come to talk, on the surface, she cares about Ayu A weak woman, her foot strength is too weak, and the mountain road is rugged and bumpy, so she can borrow Ayu a horse, but those greedy eyes are honestly peeking at the two rounds of plumpness.

Ayu had to show her true body several times, one by one, but fortunately, Lu Yixiang reprimanded this group of people, so that Ayu had a rare moment of purity.

When meditating, she occasionally peeked at Xia Ze, and she actually knew that this young man actually looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, or didn't like her, just because she Ayu had been a fox demon for many years, and she had eaten a lot of people who went into the mountains to be headhunters.

She has been a demon for many years, and her cultivation is not too high, but some subtle supernatural powers are self-taught by the naturally intelligent fox clan, for example, now she can see that in Xia Ze's Qi Mansion, in the position of the three souls and seven spirits, there are four fierce auras that are incompatible with her own true qi, but they are clearly distinguished, barely maintaining Xia Ze's state that Xia Ze will not die due to the mutilation of his soul.

In the Qi Mansion, there are scars that have been hit thousands of times, full of holes and healed, Ayu doesn't need to ask to know, the culprit is naturally the gods and demons, she silently looked at it with her eyes, not only that, the seemingly ordinary martial arts physique, but in fact it is not as strong as a fourteen-year-old boy should have.

It's like a piece of gravel that has been washed under a waterfall for nearly a thousand years, constantly condensed and reorganized, and then sharpened into divine iron.

Xia Ze suddenly turned his head, and in Ayu's sight, there was a giant beast with a red shadow hidden all over its body, exuding a heavy aura like a mountain tsunami, pressing towards her.

Ayu screamed in panic and fell backwards, causing the men around her to look sideways and salivate.

These Xia Ze didn't have time to pay attention.

In the evening, the team once again stepped over a Sanyang Peak, and rested in place, planning to go over the last Shengying Peak at dawn, and then it may be a parting.

On Sanyang Peak, there is no river and no pool, so Xia Zekong has a fishing rod, but it is really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Lu Yixiang shook his head and smiled, saying that he was going to take Yan Yingluo and the four palanquin men around, and there was a place that only he knew, and promised not to let everyone eat dry food.

Xu Xiuzhu wanted to go with him, but Lu Yixiang rarely held up a strict shelf: "Stinky boy, flirting with Yingluo every day, your kung fu is wasted, hurry up and take advantage of the sun before it sets, review and review your swordsmanship, don't practice twenty times before dark, don't eat!" ”

When Xu Xiuzhu heard this, he had no choice but to give up. He found a secluded place, set up a posture, suddenly opened his eyes, flashed and moved his sword, the sword technique was like a bright firework in full bloom, and where the sword went, the branches of the trees fell neatly.

This set of swordsmanship is not too clever, but even a swordsman who has used a sword all year round will say a word when he sees it, which is quite neat and in line with the authentic swordsmanship.

He grinned: "This wood-splitting sword technique is really good!" ”

Unexpectedly, there was a dark short figure behind him, and he poked his waist and abdomen coldly, so frightened that Xu Xiuzhu jumped up violently, and flew up with a kick.

The short figure, with a whoop, was stared out of the way and fell into a small puddle.

"Brother Xu, it's my ......" The person who came already cried after speaking, but he desperately held back his breath to prevent himself from crying.

"Is that you? Little one, what are you doing here? Xu Xiuzhu saw that the person was He Xu, and knew that he had injured him by mistake, so he hurriedly rushed forward and helped him up.

"Brother Xu, can you teach me to practice swords, swordsmanship is not good, boxing is also good, please, Brother Xu, you can teach me." He Xu said pitifully.

"You? Learn boxing, why, isn't there Xia Ze, let him teach you? Xu Xiuzhu helped him wipe away the muddy water on his face.

Unexpectedly, when He Xu heard this, he suddenly got angry and said: "I don't want to learn from him, he thinks about bringing me into trouble, so he wants to send me back to Yunxi Town, I practice boxing and swords, so I don't need him to protect me......"

"After learning boxing and practicing swords, what do you really think in your heart that he thinks he is troublesome to you, so he wants to send you back?" Xu Xiuzhu interrupted.

"I ......" He Xu drooped his head and was speechless.

Xu Xiuzhu touched his head, and the corners of his mouth were raised: "Start practicing boxing, start with the basics." ”

In addition to Ayu and Xia Ze, as well as the little white donkey nesting alone by the bonfire, the others should forage for food and practice swords.

One man and one fox, guarding the lit bonfire, bowing his head, two by two are speechless.

Ayu was flustered like an immortal beating a drum, what to do, what to say, what to say as a servant.

She suddenly raised her head, her face stiff: "Lord, I haven't seen my boxing skills getting better and better in the past few days." ”

As soon as the words came out, she suddenly regretted a little, this tone, which is sycophancy, which is like a servant, is clearly the words of the elders when they encourage the juniors. Xia Ze didn't like her in the first place, and after this call, maybe he would find an opportunity to kill her fox.

Xia Ze picked up the burning wooden strip with a stick, raised his head, and looked puzzled: "It's okay......"

Ayu wanted to die, the fluffy fox tail under the skirt writhed uneasily, and even the pair of small embroidered shoes under her feet were a little cramped in the grass.

No, I'll have to find another way to make up for it. The young man who roams the rivers and lakes, who doesn't like a girl who is as bright as the morning sun, the woman before, surnamed Mu, seems to be quite in love with the son, so use her to break the deadlock, not too direct, to be tactful, tactful.

She wanted to say that the wooden girl had not been seen for so many days, and Childe must have missed her very much.

As a result, when he blurted out, it became: "What about the surname Mu?" Childe, you don't want her to ......"

Xia Ze's brows suddenly tightened.

Ayu yelled in his heart, the original cramped and nervous mood was replaced by fear, looking at him like this, was he pierced his heart and wanted to kill people? Or run for your life.

Unexpectedly, Xia Ze was just stunned and nodded plausibly.

"How is my sister-in-law? Did anyone take advantage of my absence to bully her? Xia Ze's starry eyes were looking at her.

It was Ayu's turn to be stunned, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, her eyebrows and eyes stretched, and she nodded again and again and smiled: "Sister Lu Ying is doing well, someone in the town bullied her and said bad things about him, Wu Shanshen let them not get a drop of water, Wu Shanshen also let the spirit under his hand dig a well in the yard overnight, the spring water is clear and sweet, and it tastes great when used to make tea, and business has been much better these days." ”

Ayu seemed to have turned on the switch of the chatterbox, full of joy and gushing: "There is a group of scoundrels, who always go to the tea shop to make trouble for a few days, and try to belittle me, I have been taught by the lord and Wu Shanshen, and I dare not hurt people easily." ”

"Ah, it's those people, I've only been out for a few days, and I dare to be so careless," Xia Ze thought, he put one hand on his lap leisurely, supported his cheeks with the other, and said with a smile, "What about you and Wu Xiao, have you taught them a good lesson?" ”

Ayu smiled a little fancy, and said: "Of course, Wu Shanshen arrested them at night, and brought those few mothers-in-law who couldn't spit out ivory in their mouths, and taught them a good lesson, but the next day these people had blue noses and swollen faces, and cried and shouted to apologize." ”

"Wu Shanshen, it's really good to Sister Lu Ying, not only a well dug overnight, but as soon as there are new clothes in the ready-to-wear shop, Wu Shanshen will definitely give them to Sister Lu Ying as soon as possible, but I am envious." Ayu said the rise, added.

Xia Ze sensitively smelled something wrong in his heart, Wu Xiao, is this guy a little too diligent.

Ayu suddenly realized that she was a little too presumptuous in front of Xia Ze, and while gasping, she covered her mouth with one hand, her face full of horror.

Xia Ze was still holding his cheeks with one hand, his posture became more and more lazy, and he asked with a smile: "What about you, are you happy, okay?" ”

Ayu was stunned, how should she answer this, or rather, is it her turn to say badly? So she nodded again and again: "Ayu is doing well, she is very happy every day, and Sister Lu Ying is very good to me." ”

Xia Ze tilted his head, and those eyes were particularly demonic: "Don't lie to me?" ”

"The little ones don't dare." Ayu said honestly.

Xia Ze seemed to have heard an unexpected answer, but he still smiled to himself and muttered, "That's good, I'm still worried that you're not happy in the town." If you are really unhappy, you can talk to Wu Xiao and walk around this Ethereal Continent, if you have me, Wu Xiao will not stop you, but you have to pay attention to not being temperamental, and do more good deeds in the future. ”

Ayu raised her head and looked at the young man, for the first time she felt that she couldn't see through this guy, but those eyes were very sincere.

"Lord, you know that I have killed many people outside the grave of horses in the past hundred years." She asked cautiously.

"Of course I know, so I have to admit that I didn't like you very much at first, and even complained a little about why Lao Wu would spare your life and take you underneath." Xia Ze nodded.

In Ayu's eyes, there was a layer of cold haze at first, but it quickly disappeared, and he just wondered: "Then why are you so generous to me." ”

Xia Ze put away a smile and pointed to his eyes: "My eyes are the most powerful, I can see people accurately, and I can also look at demons, so I don't think you will be a harmful monster in the future." ”

"Just because of this?" Ayu was still a little incredulous.

"Of course not, I can still see some time, maybe you won't be too happy, or maybe you don't believe it, I have seen the galaxy with you for nearly a thousand years."

Ayu was full of suspicions.

"I've seen a little fox snuggling up in my mother's arms, I've seen her innocent little fox rolling in a waist-high haystack, and I've seen a group of monks who claim to be a decent man kill your mother and throw you into a cage and whip you day and night. Nowadays, I still read too little, and I don't know much about reason, so I can only judge according to my own intuition, so I may blame many good people and condone some evil people. ”

"Ayu, you're just like me," Xia Ze said.

"There are some truths that you didn't understand before, or if others abuse them can still be used as a reason for you to wantonly kill, you can't in the future, and I can't either. You have your pathetic past, and the people you killed are dead, and if I kill you for the sake of so-called righteousness, I don't know if it's right or not. I'm willing to give you a chance now, and it's up to you how to go in the future. After Xia Ze finished speaking, he stood up.

"Lord, what should I do?" Ayu hurriedly stood up and asked.

"Correct mistakes, make amends, that's all." Xia Ze put down the burning stick in his hand, patted the cigarette ash, and said in a deep voice.

"Looking at this campfire, I'll go look elsewhere." Xia Ze turned and left.

Ayu breathed a sigh of relief, unable to squat on the ground, she smiled self-deprecatingly, corrected her mistake? Make up for? How easy is it to say? Before that, she actually had to make another calculation in her heart, that Xia Ze's soul was damaged, and the remaining longevity was only sixteen years, these ten years were just a blink of an eye for the long-lived fox clan, and when the kid kicked his legs, Wu Xiao would definitely spend time stabilizing the godhead that was closely related to him, and then she would find a way to go away and see what he would do.

Although she has never believed in Xia Ze, in all fairness, the one named Lu Ying is really as good to her as her own little sister, even if she is unforgiving, but seeing that she is 'bullied', she is really on the ground.

Sister Lu Ying? Her age makes her granddaughter feel that she is separated from the Taidai, and the fox girl Ayu was a little entangled for a while, covering her head in pain, and kicking around the bonfire with a pair of small feet.

In the hidden place, Xia Ze lifted the branches and leaves, and walked towards a certain place with a smile. He really didn't deceive people, since he walked out of the painting given by Wu Dao, his eyes have become more and more energetic, not only can he see his bad luck, but also can briefly see the time that someone has experienced.

So he saw the little fox, the little fox who was a little naughty, and once met a lost scholar on the mountain, she was still young and did not understand the complexity of people's hearts, so she showed up and found the way home with the scholar. Unexpectedly, when parting, the scholar looked at the smooth and soft fur of the little fox and suddenly became ill-willed.

So the evil was born to the side of the guts, and wanted to kill the little fox and peel off the fur. Fortunately, Ayu's mother, who is already a fox demon with a lot of practice, cast a little spell and beat the scholar away.

The little fox was sad for a long time, and for the first time she felt that people were so bad, and she thought that he would become her first human friend.

It didn't take long for the days of stability to pass, and a group of terrible monks wearing magic robes came to the mountain range where she and her mother lived, they had all kinds of magic weapons, and even the mother who had cultivated to the sixth realm of the Qi Refiner was not an opponent, and finally died tragically under the butcher's knife.

Ayu will never forget that her mother was still urging her to run away before she died, she could no longer maintain her human form, her huge fox body, and her blood flowed.

In the end, she couldn't escape, and was put in a cage by the wicked people, fed pills every day, and those pills could make her feel like she was broken to bones every time, and she was in agony. She gradually knew that the purpose of that group of people raised her, the fur of the fox demon was the treasure of making magic robes, and the fox skin that faded every time she broke through the realm had the best effect.

Beside her, there was also a seven or eight-year-old Terran boy, who was slaughtered by that group of people, and suffered the same experience as him, I heard that it was a natural yin body, if it was cultivated properly, it could become a ghost cultivator who summoned yin soldiers in the future. However, he is different from Ayu, he gives what he eats, and he does everything he can to please the group of people who abuse them.

"My name is Aman, little fox, what's your name." The boy asked.

Since Ayu's mother's death, she no longer believes in human beings and turns her head to sleep.

"Don't worry, in the future, I will cover you, and when I trick them into taking three more pills, you can step into the second realm, and then I can take you away and fly away. By the way, don't tell anyone. ”

The little fox raised his head and looked at him with disdain, just your small body, it's not enough for them to stuff their teeth.

In the next period of time, Ah Man's pill was broken, and those people were not fools after all, and they wouldn't let his cultivation grow too much at once, but it was Ah Yu, who threw all those evil pills with amazing medicinal power to her.

Ayu discovered a secret, that is, she was able to control her body and form a place similar to a cave in her body, and those pills were all thrown into her body, so naturally they would not enter her abdomen, so for half a month, there was no sign of breaking the realm.

"Damn, it's really a money-loser, I took so many pills in a row, and I almost spent all my money on Lao Tzu's family, and I didn't even show any signs of hair loss." A short man scolded, holding the cage viciously.

"Or? Slaughtered? Anyway, it's a waste of money to keep it, the fur is peeled off, the fox bones and fox meat are stewed, Lao Tzu hasn't eaten fox meat yet, so many pills, can't make up for death? Another lean man sneered.

"That makes sense, I'm going to get the knife, you're watching here, don't let him run." The short man ran out the door.

Ah Yu heard that the two of them were going to kill chickens and take eggs, so he shrank back in horror, and the man reached out to the cage, but was bitten hard by Ah Yu, screaming in pain, and the pill in his hand fell to the ground.

"Flat-haired beast stinky fox, you dare to bite me!" The lean man kicked on the cage, bleeding from his mouth and nose and shivering.

The man was just about to pick up the pills that had fallen to the ground, but when he looked down, he found that in another cage, the young man with a somewhat pale face stretched out his hand and grabbed three or four pills, swallowed them like crazy, and refused to let go no matter how badly the man beat him.

The boy suddenly clutched his neck in pain and convulsed.

The man was just about to go to check, but the boy broke the cage with a punch, beat the man unconscious, and then picked up the injured little fox and ran for his life.

It was raining in the sky, and the boy dragged his mangled body, which had been beaten for many years, and held the little fox in his arms. Ayu only felt that the raindrops the size of beans were starting to be so cold, but it didn't matter in the boy's arms.

The young man named Ah Man looked at the foot of the mountain, and in the distance he could see a flaming dragon dancing in the mountains, and it was the people who learned that they had escaped and came to pursue them, and there were 2,000 people.

The young man smiled and looked at the little fox in his arms: "Little fox, what is your name, can you tell me, you should be able to speak human words, right?" ”

"My name is Ayu....." Ayu is also covered in bruises and timid.

"Ayu, then you are my first friend." The boy smiled happily and began to hug her, soaring through the clouds.

It was the first time that Ayu felt that a person was so verbose, he said that he used to have a sister, but he got married, and he married a man who was not very good-looking, but had a kind heart, so he was very relieved.

He said that his father was an honest farmer, and his temper was not very good, but every time he went into the city, he would bring good food to his mother and himself, and my mother, who made dumplings with one hand, he ate a meal during the New Year, and he is still thinking about it, not only that, needlework is first-class and powerful, and he will wait to find a wife like this in the future.

They were all dead, the boy said at last.

Ayu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when she raised her head, she saw that the young man's seven orifices were bleeding, and his face was like gold paper.

Even if it is an ordinary pill of the Dan family, it has to be tonified according to the amount. His body was abused, he was already weak, and he swallowed so many evil pills in a row, how could he bear it. Not to mention that in order to avoid the pursuers, he crossed the realm to resist the wind.

The boy couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground with a thud, blood flowing from his mouth.

"Ayu, let's go...... Don't take the big road, punch holes, hit deep, they can't catch ......"

"Ayu...... Let's go....."

The boy died, and he was still chattering before he died, telling her to run quickly, and he didn't even leave a serious last word. She suddenly remembered that her mother was like this before she died.

She burst into tears, and her little tongue licked Aman's cheek, his body had become cold and he had no business.

The little fox laughed like a baby, and when she cried, she whimpered like a child.

In the heavy rain, there was a little fox who cried very sadly, crying that the world is so strange, and good people always go through hardships.

"Aman, get up!" She cried.

"Rise up!" Her small body pressed against Aman's cold body.

The group of pursuers had arrived, holding torches, and scolding the young man for being a cheap life.

For the first time, Ayu had the courage to face this group of wicked people, and a cyan flame ignited on her body.

The dead young man, wrapped in cyan flames, stood up, and then held Ayu in his arms, no longer warm body temperature, but cold, he stumbled and said: "Ayu, don't be afraid, there is Aman....."

One person and one fox looked at each other and smiled.

I know what you have suffered, and I know your fears, and from now on, we will make waves together.

Xia Ze waved his hand away from his eyes, then sat cross-legged to find the pool and threw out the fishing line.

"Master Beggar, I can't do well now, but I will be better in the future."

In the depths of the pool, there is a figure of a human body and a fish's tail, quietly passing from the water.
