"If, I mean, if your master doesn't come back, what are you going to do?" Bai Tang paused, thought for a long time, and then spoke. He resented Xia Yunze at the beginning in his heart, and threw him in this place where birds don't, but as time went by, what hatred and resentment gradually faded, and he just looked forward to when he came back and questioned him face to face.

Xiao Peng turned his head to look at Bai Tang, his delicate face was dazed. It's already a matter of practice for Master to come back here every thirty years, so why don't you suddenly come?

Twig clenched his fingers and looked up at the dark night sky, and there was rain flying into his eyes, which was cool.

"If Master doesn't come back, something must have happened. Xiaozhi said lightly, but his heart was unprecedentedly flustered.

I don't know how many years have passed, for as long as she can remember, there has been this yard, a few huts, a cat, a dog, a fox and a big rooster, a master who always likes to run out, and a peach tree spirit living by the bluestone bridge. She and Xiao Peng carefully remembered every thirty years, but forgot how many thirty years had passed. Every thirty years, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is a calamity for the Master, and only by returning here can we avoid that calamity.

Master is their only hope in the long and boring years, there is always a little hope in life, if she loses it, she doesn't know what to do in the future.

In the past half a month, they have the feeling of living like a year for the first time.

Master never allowed them to leave here, nor did she tell them anything about the outside world. Every time I came back, in addition to teaching them some cultivation methods, I was standing in a daze on the cliff wall of the back mountain. Xiao Zhi and Xiao Peng also secretly stood there and looked at the towering cliff from that angle, and they didn't realize anything except a sore neck.

Nestled in a valley surrounded by towering hills, this courtyard is built against the hill and is covered with slender bamboo, a canopy that falls down and sweeps the thatched roof in the wind. Further up are the cliffs, and what is on them, it is impossible to know.

Xiaozhi had climbed greedily when he was a child, and he didn't climb it for three days and three nights, and Xiaozhi wondered if it was leading to the Nine Heavenly Que. Twig had never seen the sky beyond the mountain, and he didn't know where the clouds came from and where they would go.

Every 30 years, Master would come back before August 15, stay for two months, and then leave.

In the last thirty years, the master brought back the dying Bai Tang, Bai Tang was a wolf demon, the snow-white fur was stained with blood, and the twig cleaned him for a night before restoring its original luster.

The white wolf is a little different from the white fox, his limbs are pale tooth yellow, and there is a crescent-shaped mark on the center of his eyebrows, which is bright red like fire.

Later, the master didn't take him away, but just told Xiaozhi and Xiaopeng to take care of him.

The sister and brother's cognition of the world outside the mountain comes from Bai Tang, and Bai Tang talks the most about the story of the young master of the demon world.

Bai Tang said: "Speaking of the great war three thousand years ago, it was really a disaster between the gods and demons, and the eyes were scorched, and the four seas were wailing. The God Realm has suffered heavy losses, and the Demon Realm is no better, the three major Demon Lords of the Demon Realm, the Shaochen Demon Monarch, have all dispersed, the Jingli Demon Monarch has disappeared, and there is only one Jingzhao Demon Monarch who is bent on chasing his wife without worrying about the world. Speaking of this Jingzhao Demon Lord and his mysterious lady, in the past ten thousand years, sixty-six princesses and a young master have been born, and when it comes to giving birth to children, I am afraid that no one can fight them. ”

Bai Tang said again: "Do you know? The young master of the demon realm has sixty-six sisters, and the demon lord has gone out to look for a wife for many years and has not returned, and this young master has grown up with his sisters. That temperament, tsk...... Even if it's an immortal in the sky, when they see him, they can't wait to escape thousands of miles......"

Xiaozhi was not interested in the story of the young lord of the Demon Lord, but just exclaimed, how could there be such a person who could have children. But she was full of curiosity about that strange world, and now, because the master had not returned for a long time, she couldn't help but ask again.

"What's it like outside the mountain?"

Bai Tang poured another bowl of wine and took a sip with the night breeze, tonight's wine is a little more long-lost taste, as if it is the signature bamboo leaf green of Fengji Restaurant in Fengxiang Shop.

"Beyond the mountain, there is the ...... in the world"

Early the next morning, before dawn, Xiao Peng was awakened by a rooster's crow, if it was in the past, he must have thrown this big rooster that sneaked into his arms in the middle of the night, and then turned over and continued to sleep until the third pole of the sun. But in the past few days, he has pretended to have something in his heart, and he can't sleep when he wakes up, tossing and turning a few times, and simply getting up in the dark.

The rain was still falling, so I touched the hat from the wall under the porch, went to the kitchen and touched a few cold and hard cakes, and Xiao Peng went to the ferry again.

Last night, Xiaozhi had already come up with the idea of going down the mountain, and Xiaopeng was even more anxious. Master said that the outside of the mountain is an extremely dangerous place that you must never set foot in. He was obedient to Master's words, and now he was worried that Master was in danger in that extremely dangerous place, and he was worried that his sister would run recklessly into that extremely dangerous place. The words "extremely dangerous" were churning in his mind, and Xiao Peng wanted to plunge his head into the stream.

Xiao Peng sat at the ferry with a few old wooden pieces, the bark of the trees had peeled off, and the musty smell was like nothing in the autumn rain.

The sky turned from black to gray and then to white, the rain curtain became clearer and clearer, a layer of white fog rose on the surface of the stream, dark clouds pressed on the mountainside, and the whole valley was like a cramped cage, which made people breathless.

Xiaozhi didn't sleep all night, her mind was full of the world that Bai Tang said, until the sky was bright, and she finally made up her mind, even if it was Longtan Tiger's Den, Sword Mountain and Sea of Fire, she must go and bring the master back.

However, how do you get out? The whole Huilong Mountain is an enchantment, isolated from the world, and no one knows how to open this enchantment except for the master.

I didn't go to the Banshan Pavilion today, Xiaozhi went to the kitchen to get a few cold and hard cakes, and paced to the back mountain. The autumn rain soon soaked her clothes, and she looked up in the rain and mist, trying to learn from Master's manners, squinting at the vast cliffs, and once again trying to see something different.

"You've looked at it eight hundred times. Bai Tang also paced over and looked up at the sky along the line of sight of the little branch.

Xiaozhi snorted, took a bite of the cake, and said vaguely: "This time the cake is harder than the last time, you go back and think about it." ”

......

That's right, Bai Tang is a demon king, and he has been reduced to an old mother who cooks for people, and he will be disliked. If Yun Ze saw him so virtuous...... Bai Tang shook his head, what a mess.

"I've decided, I'm going down the mountain. Twig said.

Bai Tang glanced at her and said, "I know." ”

After being silent for a long time, Bai Tang turned around and sighed, "I'll look for the way down the mountain again." ”

Baitang has been looking in the mountains for more than a year, cliffs, shallow streams and deep pools, every corner is not missed, but he has never found the way down the mountain. When Yun Ze brought him back, he was still in a coma, ignorant of the outside world, and when he woke up, Yun Ze was gone.

He asked Xiaozhi, every time Yun Ze came back, a light boat went up the stream, and it came suddenly, and he could imagine Yun Ze's appearance. He built a small boat and went down the stream.

Because of the old peach tree on the side of the mountain road, Bai Tang named the small courtyard "Taoyuan", and the stream not far from the courtyard was named "Peach Blossom Creek", which he said was very poetic.

It is said that he searched for several days on the Peach Blossom Creek, until he was blocked by mountains and rocks, and the stream merged into a pool. He dived into the bottom of the pool again, knocked every rock under the water, and did not stop until he found anything unusual. I thought that when Yun Ze came back this time, he must go out with him, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't come back.

Bai Tang began to miss his group of little demons, he finally mixed up with the demon king, and within a few days of the good days, he was assigned to this poor mountain and bad water.
