Life is like the splendor of summer flowers, and death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves.

Tianhuo is still very young, he doesn't have much perception of life and death, so sometimes he can be fearless, but when he really faces life and death, in addition to the awe of life, there is only the desire to live.

Tianhuo changed back to the sea of knowledge, lying quietly on the stone platform, out of strength, not wanting to move, the feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe still made him tremble, facing the scene of life and death is still vivid, the sentence before death 'goodbye in the next life' seems to be still in the ear, Tianhuo just wants to just lie still, and use all the time to feel the preciousness of life.

Ah Li is calculated according to the cultivation time of the demon cultivator, and she is also a young demon cultivator. But she has experienced life and death many times, because she is alone, so she sees life and death very lightly, and what worries her the most is a trace of attachment to the fox fairy forest, but at that moment just now, the sentence 'see you in the next life' made her feel more fetters, and she couldn't get out of her emotions for a long time.

Ah Li only felt that his nose, eyes, and body were sore and trembling together, and his left front paw was still painful.

Ah Li's heart was empty at this moment, and she couldn't vent her emotions in her chest, she suddenly burst into tears, crying and scolding: "You dead tanuki! Didn't you promise your friend that I would be sent to Xuanyuan Grave safely? I almost died just now, you know?

If you are untrustworthy and treacherous, I will never believe you again in the future! I have decided not to go to Xuanyuan's tomb with you, and you will not be able to complete the task for the rest of your life!"

The tanuki Daxian stood in front of Ah Li with an embarrassed face, holding a five-foot-long green bamboo cane in his left hand that he didn't know where to find it, and a large unconscious bat in his right hand.

When the tanuki Daxian heard Ah Li say that he was not going to Xuanyuan's grave, he was shocked: "Senior sister Ah Li, you can forgive your senior brother once! Didn't I come over in time? That deer ring is really difficult to deal with, fortunately you didn't have any major incidents, you will dissipate your anger, we will definitely go to Xuanyuan Grave, how can you know the mystery of your life experience if you don't go?"

Ah Li raised his left front paw and said arrogantly: "Nothing has happened yet, my hands are broken, why are you still standing there stupidly? Come and treat my injuries!"

The tanuki Daxian immediately threw down the bat and the bamboo cane, lowered his head to examine Ah Li's injury, seriously touched his swollen elbow, tried to see if the joints could move, and grinned Ah Li's teeth in pain.

The tanuki fairy finally came to a conclusion: "Senior sister, your injury is not serious, it is a little bone crack and dislocation, put on my special bone-setting medicine, put on a splint, as long as you don't fight again, I will guarantee that you will be able to jump alive in two days, the price is not expensive, and the diagnosis and treatment fee is only one three-pin pill!"

"Huh?" Ah Li frowned: "Do you still want money? ”

After saying that, Ah Li broke free of his claws, turned around and limped out.

The tanuki fairy was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, he really wanted to pump his two mouths, and he usually asked for money to say that he was smooth, but what kind of charges did he mention at this time, and he offended his aunt and grandmother.

Seeing that Ah Li was about to go away, the tanuki Daxian gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to stop Ah Li and said, "Stop, junior sister, senior brother is joking with you, how can senior brother charge you for medical treatment? ”

Ah Li said with a disgusted face: "This time it's free, meaning that I will have to pay for it next time, forget about this small injury, I won't treat it, and save it until the next time I'm seriously injured, and then use your free place." ”

The tanuki Daxian said cowardly: "In the future......, I will give the cost of work, right?

Ah Li hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, don't read your fake information to me, treat me quickly." ”

The tanuki Daxian didn't talk nonsense, took out a small rattan box from the blanket, opened it and there was a complete set of medical tools and a lot of bottles and jars, and then took out a very smooth bamboo board.

The tanuki Daxian picked up the bamboo board and compared it with Ah Li's front paws, took out a sharp knife from the medical box, and cut the bamboo board into two pieces, the size of the cut bamboo board was just slightly shorter than Ah Li's forelimbs.

Ah Li looked at the tanuki immortal in surprise and asked, "Senior brother, you are really good at healing, you have such a complete set of tools." ”

The tanuki Daxian's subordinates didn't stop, sighed and said: "Life is not easy, and there is no background, what should I do if I don't learn more things?" A demon cultivator who aspires to become the number one businessman of the demon clan has to be an all-round talent! Senior sister, do you say it?"

The tanuki Daxian skillfully gave Ah Li the bones, applied medicine, put on the splint, and tied them in one go.

Ah Li immediately felt that the front paws were not so painful, the gray-white ointment on the affected area revealed a burst of fragrance and coldness, Ah Li could even feel the slightest medicinal power penetrating through the skin and penetrating into the broken bones.

Ah Li moved his injured leg with great satisfaction and said, "Yes, yes, senior brother has good medical skills, I think you can sit in the hall for consultation and hang the pot to help the world." ”

The tanuki Daxian shook his head, and almost covered his mouth and snickered: "Where is it, the junior sister has a good reputation, and medical skills are only one of the many skills for the brother, which is not enough." ”

Ah Li saw that the tanuki Daxian was so immodest, and couldn't help but turn his head sideways and make a disdainful expression.

Suddenly, Ah Li saw the corpse of the second bat lying on his stomach by the lake, and a milky white jade bottle was clutching in its front paws, and hurriedly asked the tanuki Daxian to go and get the bottle.

After the second bat died, the stiff front paws were clenched very tightly, and the tanuki fairy broke off two of its fingers before taking out the jade bottle.

Ah Li took the jade bottle, shook it slightly, took out a flame talisman and lit it, picked up the jade bottle and looked at the height of the liquid in the jade bottle at the flame.

There is still more than half of the liquid in the jade bottle, there should have been more than half a bottle of heart-devouring poison, after two hours of soaking in the lake water, it has slowly ooped out one-fifth, I don't know how many people in the fox fairy forest have drunk water during this time, Ah Li burst into tears.

Tianhuo sighed and comforted: "Ah Li, don't worry too much, the venom that has seeped into the water can't be collected, only a small part of the people who drink water in the morning are only a small part, and most of them should not be poisoned."

We've got rid of the source of the poison now, and the water is so strong that soon the concentration of the venom will come down, so that there won't be any danger later.

Bat Wing left the poison bottle and sent someone to guard it, estimating that the poison of the heart is only a chronic poison, not directly fatal, and there must be a remedy. ”

Ah Li felt that what Tianhuo said made sense, so he had to nod and stop crying.

The tanuki fairy curiously took the jade bottle and looked at it, then pulled out the stopper and put it in front of his nose to smell it, and said in surprise: "Senior sister, what are you crying about? This is a good thing! This heart-devouring poison is the essence of the five poisons, and it is difficult to refine." ”

Ah Li asked in surprise: "Senior brother, you know this poison, tell me how toxic it is, and what is the harm of mixing it with water and drinking it?"

The tanuki immortal shook his head and said, "The poison of the heart devouring poison is not very strong, it can only make people make illusions, but it is not fatal, in the eyes of many monks, it is not poison. On the contrary, it is also a rare holy medicine. ”

Ah Li asked curiously, "What is the effect of the holy medicine?"

The tanuki immortal smashed his mouth and said: "Let's put it this way, the poison of devouring the heart is a bit similar to the Fushou paste of the human race, which can make people have a strong dependence, and its addiction is a hundred times stronger than that of Fushou cream."

But it's not all bad, because it can create a very real illusion, and if you give yourself a strong psychological hint before taking it, it will sometimes stimulate the cultivator's comprehension, and let people get the opportunity to have an epiphany, which is very helpful for cultivation, so many monks flock to this thing, even if they know its poison, they will still be happy to do it.

I guess that bat wing is trying to use this characteristic of the Heart-devouring poison to control the fox cultivation of the entire Fox Immortal Forest. I knew that he was refining this thing, and I should have snatched it yesterday. ”

Ah Li's eyes widened: "Senior Brother Tanuki, you saved me yesterday?"

The tanuki fairy nodded seriously: "Yes! When I arrived at the fox fairy forest yesterday, I saw you slipping out of the cave, and then you couldn't open the stone door, so I secretly helped you, followed you, and heard the conspiracy of the batwing and the weasel."

In the end, I rescued you from the cave, so junior sister, you can't say that I am untrustworthy and treacherous, I am definitely honest first, true to my word, honest and lovely tanuki fairy. ”

Ah Li couldn't stand the tanuki Daxian's boasting, and hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Then why did you knock me out and erase my memory?"

The tanuki fairy scratched his head and said, "I really didn't do this. I haven't finished what I said just now, I did rescue you from the batwing cave yesterday, but I wasn't the one who sent you back. ”

Li: "Who is that?"

Tanuki Daxian: "It's a mysterious person, and his cultivation is still above me, but he shouldn't have reached the stage of transforming into a god." As soon as I rescued you from the cave of the batwings, the man snatched you away. I caught up with him and fought him, I didn't take advantage of it, and he didn't suffer either.

Just as I was about to come up with a big move to press the bottom of the box, the other party was instigated.

The mysterious man said, you saved Ah Li just now, you should be her friend, right? You don't want Ah Li to get involved in such a dangerous thing, do you?

Of course I said yes.

As a result, he said again, then it's better not to let her remember this matter, are you sure that you can erase the memory of that Terran kid in the sea of Ah Lizhi?

I thought, I really don't have that ability, so I asked him to take you away. ”

Ah Li said, "Ah, you all know about Tianhuo?"

Tanuki Daxian smiled: "You two have that little secret, a Yuan Infant Monk can see it, only the two of you play peek-a-boo and have fun." ”

Ah Li's face was a little unbearable: "Cut, don't talk about me." Senior brother, with what I know about you, you must have been beaten up by a mysterious person last night, what is called 'I didn't take advantage, and he didn't suffer', that is, he took advantage of it, and you suffered a loss.

One day you will put gold on your face, you can't beat others, you are abused, it is estimated that you begged for mercy, and the other party let you go!"

Ahri guessed that the eight or nine were not far from ten, and the old face of the tanuki Daxian was red: "Senior sister, leave virtue in your mouth." I can see that the mysterious person has no ill will towards you, and he cares about you so much, probably your elders, so I let Xian go, otherwise I will protect and help you desperately.

Since there is such a powerful mysterious master by your side, I don't need to make a move! I was late to rescue you just now, because I was worried that I would steal the limelight from that mysterious master, but he didn't show up, causing you to suffer a little more, which really doesn't blame me. ”

Ah Li said: "Senior brother, you left me alone last night, today the Fox Immortal Forest is in a mess, and it looks like it's about to catch fire, you have to help me, right?"

The tanuki fairy was a little embarrassed and said, "Ah Li, it's not that the senior brother won't help you." This is your family's own internal matter, and besides, the mysterious master and the fox clan ancestor are here, so it's hard for me to interfere, otherwise I won't become a character like Bat Wing?

Besides, Deer Ring they keep an eye on me all the time, I don't show up, you're still safe, if I do, I'm afraid they will do it immediately.

When the time comes, a group of Yuanying masters will fight, and you will be affected by the pond fish, and the loss may be greater than if you directly fought with the Weasel Clan and the Bat Wing, so you have to think about it carefully. ”

Ah Li was very disappointed: "But senior brother, this catastrophe can't pass, I really don't have the mood to go to Xuanyuan's grave with you." Since you don't help me, then I can only rely on one person to fight. ”

The tanuki fairy said helplessly: "At most, if the mysterious person does not appear at night and the scene is out of control, I will help you kill the bat wing and the weasel ancestor, and then you will follow me immediately, otherwise you will not be able to leave."

As for the safety of the Fox Immortal Forest, you don't have to worry too much, without the Bat Wing and the Weasel Ancestor, the strength of the Fox Immortal Forest is higher than that of the Weasel Clan, so let them deal with it themselves. ”

Ah Li immediately became happy: "Senior Brother Tanuki, you are the best in one word." I forgot to ask, how did you get rid of the deer ring after we separated?"

The tanuki fairy immediately danced with his eyebrows, and exaggeratedly said: "Senior sister, you don't know, after you left, I fought with Luhuan and them several times in a row, from the southwest of Tianmang Forest to the northeast of Tianmang Forest, until the sun and moon were lightless, the mountains and rivers were stained with blood, the wind and clouds changed color, and the grass and trees were sad.

That kid in Luhuan let me kill more than half of them, and now counting himself, there are only nine Yuan Infant Stage and one Jindan Stage monk left.

Later, they were scared of being killed by me, and they also learned wisely, and they didn't dare to face me head-on, so they came to the fox fairy forest to wait for the rabbits, ready to threaten me with you.

Am I such a vulnerable person? I set up ambushes and sneak attacks all the way to delay their march, and yesterday I led them to other places, so I can come to you in advance and prepare to take you out of here, but I think you will definitely not be able to leave now, they may appear at any time in the deer ring, senior brother!"

Ah Li said: "Senior brother, I promise, as long as the Fox Immortal Forest passes this level, I will go with you immediately and never break my word." It's not convenient for you to come forward to help me, can you tell me what to do now to help the tribe. ”

The tanuki immortal thought about it and said: "There are three Bat Clan monks here, two dead and one alive, plus this bottle of Heart-Eating Poison, as long as there are strong enough people to gather all the elders and give you a chance to speak, you will definitely be able to expose the conspiracy of Bat Wing and Weasel."

When the elders understand this conspiracy, they can basically get through the difficulties in front of them by taking down the batwing together, and then set up an ambush, waiting for the Weasel monks to attack, and use the power of local combat to give a head-on attack.

If your patriarch can break through the Jindan period again, you will win this battle and not lose it.

Besides, there is a mysterious master and I in the back to press you down, which is simply foolproof. ”

Ah Li said: "Powerful person, then I'll go to Grandpa Yu first, as long as he comes forward, the elders should give me a chance to speak." ”

Tanuki Daxian: "Grandpa Yu, are you talking about the old fox by the long stream?"

Ah Li said, "Senior brother, do you know Grandpa Yu?"

The tanuki immortal shook his head: "I don't know, but when I passed through Changxi, I felt that he was not simple, if it wasn't for the cultivation of the demon pill period, I would have suspected that he was the mysterious person last night, and there should be no problem for you to go to him." ”

Ah Li said, "Then these three crows and the poison of the heart, shall I take them with me?"

The tanuki Daxian hurriedly put the jade bottle into the blanket and said, "No need for this, you go and get busy with yours, there is still a live bat here, and it will be a burden for you to bring them with you at this time."

I'll take these three crows and the jade bottle with me. I will always pay attention to your movements, and at critical moments, I will take out evidence to cooperate with your story, and with my credibility, you can rest assured. ”

Ah Li looked at the tanuki fairy with some suspicion and said, "You won't be hiding from the deer ring here, will you?"

The tanuki fairy said angrily, "Am I that kind of person? Do I still need to hide from the deer ring?"

Ah Li shook his head: "Sometimes it doesn't look like it, but most of the time it looks like it! Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, I'm leaving." ”

The tanuki fairy had to argue a few words, Ah Li ran away from the morning, and the tanuki Daxian muttered: "The legs are broken, and they are still running so fast." ”

Although the appearance of the tanuki fairy surprised Ah Li, and his irritable mood calmed down a lot, but the civil strife in the fox fairy forest intensified!

The first to find out that Sini was missing, and after they separated in the morning, they never saw each other again, and Wuni thought that Sini had gone to mess with Hu San, and she didn't care.

In the evening, before Si Ni returned to the cave mansion, Wu Ni went to Hu San's cave mansion, ready to sarcastically mock the fox man and woman.

As a result, when she arrived at Hu San's cave house, Wuni knew that Sini had not come, and Hu San had not seen Si Ni for a day.

The two people immediately had an ominous premonition, and hurriedly sent their men and clansmen to look for them, but there was no news until midnight.

Hu San could only take Wuni to break into Hu's mansion at night, and the two sides talked secretly for two hours, and the next morning a farce was staged in the law enforcement hall and the patrol camp to block the door and control the field.

At this time, Hu Da Hu San and Wu Ni were sitting in Dani's living room, and they hoped that Dani would stand on their side and support them, take down Sanni and Hu Er first, and then go to the ancestor for a ruling.

Dani seemed to have a headache and was silent, Hu Dahu San looked indignant, while Wuni was crying sadly, and the atmosphere in the hall was very embarrassing.

Hu Sanyi patted the armrest of the chair and stood up: "Sister Dani, my brothers and sisters usually respect you so much and love you as an eldest sister, just to admire your uprightness and fairness."

But today, at such an important moment, you have an ambiguous attitude, it's really not you I know! Are you worried that Sanni is a descendant of the old ancestor, and you don't dare to offend her easily, right?

But justice and justice are at ease in the hearts of the people! At this time, if you don't stand up, how can the brothers support you to take charge of the Fox Immortal Forest in the future?"

Dani interrupted Hu San's words: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense! If you let the old ancestor hear this, it will be a heavy punishment, the old ancestor is in his prime, when will it be someone else's turn to take charge of the fox fairy forest?"

Hu Dadao said: "Sister Dani, the third brother didn't mean that. It's just that the old ancestor is about to be promoted to the Jindan stage, and his cultivation will be more frequent in the future, and he has no time to take care of these specific affairs, and the fox immortal forest definitely needs a big treasurer.

The younger brother also feels that except for Sister Da Ni, no one else is qualified to be the big shopkeeper! A few of us are not here today to let Sister Da Ni punish Sanni and Hu Er, but just hope that the eldest sister can come forward to invite the ancestors.

All of our parties are present, and we will report the situation to the ancestor in detail, and the merits will be judged by her old man, right?"

Dani was still hesitating, looked at Wuni who was crying there and asked, "Fifth sister, you also tell me what you think." ”

Wuni Chu Chu whispered pitifully: "Eldest sister, you know that I am a person who has no ideas, and I listen to the arrangement of the eldest sister like everyone else." ”

Hundreds of zhang away, in the cave mansion of Elder Keqing Bat Wing.

Bat Wing was walking around the cave restlessly, silently muttering in his heart: "How can I be so restless today, and even have a feeling of panic, what is the problem?

The poison of the heart has been put into the water source, guarded by three of the best nephews, and it is foolproof;

The elders of the Fox Immortal Forest were now in a mess, and no one paid attention to them at all;

The Weasel clan is also on the way, and they will all be in place at the beginning of the shift;

Could it be that something is wrong with the old fox?"

Elder Bat Wing hurriedly opened the chamber and rushed down. His chamber was very simple, with only a stone bed and a cupboard.

Elder Bat Wing opened the cabinet door and took out a delicate wooden doll from inside, the doll was dressed in a black robe, with a light veil on its face, its head tied with Lingyun's sideburns, and three half-toothpick-sized golden step hairpins inserted into its bun, this doll was almost exactly the same as the ancestor.

Elder Bat Wing clasped the seal in his hand, silently recited the magic in his mouth, and after a few breaths, a stream of red demonic energy erupted from his mouth, enveloping the puppet.

The puppet's eyes lit up in the blood mist, and the crimson eyes actually emitted four red halos.

"One, two, three, four!" Elder Batwing counted the halos, and in a fit of rage, he slammed the puppet on the stone bed! The puppet spread out from its head, neck, and joints, and even the hairpin on the puppet's head flew out.

Elder Bat Wing cursed loudly: "You dead fox, it's time to go, and you still don't trust me!

Hahahaha, you are dreaming, let me help you and let you condense the golden pill in advance!

Elder Batwing looked like he was crazy, and threw himself on the ground to pick up the three small hairpins that had fallen away.

In the secret room of the Fox Old Ancestor Cave Mansion.

The effect of the fox ancestor's meditation this time is obvious, in the absence of any way out, the ancestor miraculously entered an epiphany, many 'Tao' that has not been understood for hundreds of years, but today it is enlightened, the body has been blocked, and the meridians that cannot be opened have also begun to loosen.

Gradually, the faint began to condense around the old ancestor, and the demon pill in the old ancestor's body, which had turned ninety percent golden, seemed to come to life again and began to glow gradually.

A smile appeared at the corner of the old ancestor's mouth, he was too obsessed with the Blood Shadow Talisman before, and completely gave up the Fox Clan's own exercises, it seems that this time he fought against the water and went in the right direction, or using the Fox Clan's Exercises, it is expected that he will finally condense the Jindan.

Bat Wing cursed nervously, his hands trembling as he put the doll together, aiming several times before reinserting the hairpin into the doll's bun.

Bat Wing put the puppet on the stone bed in front of him, sat down cross-legged himself, took a few deep breaths, suppressed his irritability and qi and blood, and closed his eyes and exercised.

After a full cup of tea, Bat Wing reopened his eyes, his eyes became red and shiny, and two blood-colored pillars of light shot out of his eyes, directly enveloping the puppet, and Bat Wing emitted a silent spell from his mouth, only to see a circle of red light constantly shooting towards the puppet.

The puppet's eyes also turned blood-red, and the hairpin of her hair began to tremble slightly, slowly piercing her scalp.

The batwing bit the tip of its tongue, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the puppet, and then let out an inaudible hiss, and the entire chamber trembled, and stones fell in a mess.

The hairpin on the puppet's head suddenly accelerated at this time, directly piercing the puppet's scalp and deeply piercing the puppet's head, and three blood beads appeared on the wooden puppet's skull, tightly wrapping the hairpin.

The old ancestor who was getting better finally opened up the last two meridians in her body, and she felt that the demonic power immediately increased by two percent, making her feel like she wanted to raise her head and howl.

She knew that this attack on Jin Dan was half of the success, she didn't dare to slack off, and was ready to make persistent efforts and directly condense Jin Dan in one go.

The old ancestor sped up the operation of the demonic power, and wanted to conjure up more Dao halos.

Suddenly, the old ancestor felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, his whole body shook, and then countless blood spots appeared on his face and body, and at the same time, the three hairpins on the Lingyun bun on the top of his head quickly stabbed down, directly into the skull of the old ancestor, and three blood quickly flowed out along the wound.

The old ancestor spewed out a mouthful of blood and roared, "Bat Wing! you hurt me......"

Fall on your back.
