Chapter 2: Ah Li
The little fox looked up at the yellow-clothed young man's clear eyes and bright smile, and he actually had a trance: "Very handsome, very sunny young man, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to be very smart, he would ask the name of a spirit beast in the forging stage so seriously, doesn't he know that the spirit beast must at least condense the demon pill and change the structure of the vocal cords before he can use the language of the human race?"
Although the little fox was full of slander, he still wanted to communicate with the boy as much as possible, in case he could understand the fox language? After all, it would be a pity to give up the three-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng directly.
"Chirp~~" The little fox tried to speak in the language of the fox clan, and raised his forelimbs to match his facial expressions, and carefully compared them, wanting to explain the cause and effect of the matter to the young man.
Tianhuo also looked at the little fox seriously for a long time, but unfortunately it was the fox who spoke with the same person and didn't know what to do.
Tianhuo was still confused for a long time, so he simply sat on the ground and said to the little fox with a smile: "Little fox, you can understand my words, but I can't understand your words." Do you want this ginseng? Okay, I'll ask you a few questions, and if you can answer them, I'll give you back this ginseng, okay?"
The little fox immediately became happy, and the big dark eyes on his plush face narrowed into a slit, and he had a smiling expression, and nodded frequently again.
Tianhuo raised his finger and gently tapped his right temple, thinking about how to ask in order to communicate with the little fox: "Yes, the name is not easy to express, ask your age is always okay, right?" If you are under the age of 100, you will count ten years with your left paw, and a few lines will be dozens of years old, and if you are over 100 years old, you will count as a hundred years, and your right paw will be drawn on the ground, and a few will be hundreds of years old, what do you think?"
The little fox's eyes lit up, it seemed that the boy was not as stupid as he imagined, he thought about it seriously, drew three lines on the ground with his right paw, and another line on the ground with his left paw, and chirped twice.
"Three hundred and ten years old!" Tianhuo exclaimed: "I am only fifteen years old this year, and Master told me to respect the old and love the young, so I can't embarrass you anymore." Little fox, since you have earned this mountain ginseng with your hard work, you can take it back! In fact, Tianhuo just wanted to find a reason to return the mountain ginseng to the little fox, and after speaking, he picked up the big ginseng at his feet and handed it to the little fox.
The little fox hesitated for a long time, and finally timidly probed his fluffy little head and took the big mountain ginseng from Tianhuo's hand, and saw that the boy did not take the opportunity to arrest him, so he immediately became bolder, and gratefully rubbed his little head on Tianhuo's fingers.
Tianhuo also reached out and tentatively stroked the little fox's head a few times, and the little fox only felt that the young man's hand was very soft, warm, and comfortable, and he didn't refuse.
Tianhuo played with the little fox for a while, and when he saw that it was not early, he got up and said, "Little fox, it's not early, I still have important things to do, so I won't play with you." You have to be extra careful when you bring such a large ginseng, don't be robbed again, and see you again in the future!"
The little fox was a little reluctant to leave, raised his eyes and glanced at the two wild boars on the side of the road that had been dead for a while, and immediately went around to the side of the heavenly ham and picked up the young man's pants, and then ran to the wild boar, stretched out his front paws and stroked twice on the boar's head, and then looked at Tianhuo with an expectant expression.
This time, Tianhuo instantly understood the meaning of the little fox, pulled out a sword from his back, and the two swords split the huge heads of the two wild boars, and the little fox stretched out his little paws and took out a few times in the wild boar's brain, and soon two black spars fell out, one the size of a chicken egg and one the size of a pigeon egg.
The little fox pushed the spar to the boy's feet, pointed at the spar with his front paws, and then at the heavenly fire, and chirped again, obviously hoping that the boy would accept the gift.
Tianhuo laughed, leaned down and touched the little fox's head dotingly: "Little fox, this kind of demon crystal may be helpful to you demon clan monks, but it is useless to us human race monks. You hurry up and take these two demon crystals and take your mountain ginseng away from the area where the human race is active, it is still more dangerous here. I wish you an early manifestation of the Demon Pill and the attainment of transformation, and maybe we will see each other again. ”
The little fox's heart trembled, and he looked up at Tianhuo, as if he wanted to keep the appearance of Tianhuo firmly in his heart.
Tianhuo turned his back to the sun at this time, the westerly sun exuded a golden light around him, the sunshine's incomparable smile made people (fox) warm, and the big eyes on his face were extraordinarily bright, white and black, so clear and sincere.
Three hundred years is not a very long time for spirit beasts, and many spirit beasts have not been able to produce demon pills and speak for three hundred years, not to mention the little fox in front of him who is not outstanding in qualifications.
But three hundred years is enough for a fox who has already enlightened himself to have more experience and knowledge than a young monk.
As the best race in the demon race to deal with the human race, the fox clan has seen countless human and human monks in the past three hundred years, and the human race that can treat the demon monks so well is very rare, and a memory that has been forgotten has come to my heart.
The little fox sorted out his messy mood, solemnly raised his right forelimb, put away his sharp claws, and his soft palm was facing Tianhuo, looking at Tianhuo with a look of hope.
Tianhuo was stunned for a moment, immediately smiled, squatted down, raised his right hand and patted the little fox's little paw lightly, got up and said, "Little fox, thank you for your trust, although I don't know what your name is." Well, I'll call you Ah Li! If you succeed in transforming in the future, and meet me to tell me that your name is Ah Li, I will recognize you. I'm leaving, everything is precious!" After speaking, he took out the magic talisman from his bosom and attached it to the outside of his legs.
The fire galloped away in the setting sun, and the little fox looked at his back that was fading away in the afterglow, and couldn't help but think, "Ah Li? Does it mean that they have just met and then separated? I don't understand the idea of the human race. According to the rules of the fox clan, the demon cultivators who have not produced the demon pill are all named after age, my name is fox three hundred and twelve, this stupid boy, he can't even count. If I have the chance, I will tell you my real name personally, definitely!"
Ah Li (right to call it Ah Li) stood in place for a long time, and suddenly thought that the return journey was far away, all the way was difficult, and he couldn't just run 3,000 miles with the mountain ginseng in his mouth, the goal was too big, and he still had to make some preparations, and when the mind was decided, Ah Li also turned around and left.
Tianhuo was galloping in the setting sun, although the speed of the secret Shenxing talisman of the sect was much higher than that of ordinary Shenxing talismans of other sects, and there was no need to run by himself at all, but Tianhuo was still constantly speeding up his speed, and his mouth kept chanting:
"It's bad, it's bad, you shouldn't be nosy just now, if you delay the hour and miss the master's big event, the master will have to annoy people to death when he nags!"
This descent from the mountain is the first time in Tianhuo's fifteen years of life to step out of Xuanji Mountain, and he was taken care of by the master and his brothers as a good baby before, and he had no chance to contact the outside world at all. It was this descent that Tianhuo announced that he would give up his fifteenth birthday gift, which was a rare opportunity in exchange.
Tianhuo was naturally holding his breath before going down the mountain, how could the opportunity in exchange for a birthday gift be easily wasted, before going down the mountain, he was fully prepared, and he had to do a few chivalrous and righteous "big things" to make a name for himself, so that the trip was in vain.
As a result, Tianhuo went to the outside world only to find that this mortal world was not the same as the mortal world described by the master and senior brothers.
There are many injustices in this mortal world, but there are really very few injustices that he can manage and the unfortunate people he can help; this mortal world is full of suspicion and distrust, and most people will refuse the help of others, because they do not believe that there will be people who will help others regardless of return.
Tianhuo had almost no use along the way, all he could do was help the farmer find the lost ploughing cattle, and help the inn catch the weasel that stole food, but these really had little to do with chivalrous righteousness, let alone fame, and even these good deeds were too embarrassing to go back and tell the master and brothers.
Only saving this little fox just now is the most enjoyable, slightly embodying the chivalrous demeanor of the Tianhuo hero, and I can't help but feel secretly refreshed:
"Haha, it turns out that the chivalrous battle is so enjoyable! Although there is no pride in killing a person in ten steps and not leaving a line for a thousand miles. But isn't hoeing the strong to help the weak and upholding justice exactly the motivation for our generation of monks to go forward and cultivate desperately?"
"I don't know if the swords I shot just now are beautiful? I have been practicing swordsmanship for ten years, and I have practiced the action of drawing the sword and retracting the sword no less than tens of thousands of times, thinking about the little fox's adoring eyes just now, I know that this young master must be so handsome!"
"No, the three-hundred-year-old fox should have already attained the Dan? But that little fox is clearly only in the forging stage, and it has not even reached the quenching stage, doesn't the little fox know how to count?"
"Haha, whatever, maybe demon cultivation also has good or bad qualifications, the little fox looks cute and cute, but the qualifications must be average, after all, there are not many geniuses like me who have reached the third level of qi cultivation at the age of fifteen!"
"Oh! It's a pity that the three-hundred-year-old ginseng, just now shouldn't have been compassionate and returned to the little fox, if you can take the ginseng back to honor the master, wouldn't he let the old man be happy, maybe he will make up all the birthday gifts to me, if the master gives a birthday gift, then the brothers have no reason not to give birthday gifts!"
"Forget it, you must not tell Master about the matter of the three hundred years of mountain ginseng, if he hears that I have given away this elixir easily, he will have to beat me first, and then punish me to chop firewood for three months, and then pour him a month's toilet, it is terrible!"
"No wonder Master said that I killed too much in this life, and made me a vegetarian since I was a child. This is the first time I went down the mountain, and I killed two demon cultivators in the spirit gathering period, although they have not yet opened their minds, but as long as they condense the demon crystal, they can be regarded as breaking away from the beast and becoming a spirit beast, which can be regarded as a killing, alas~"
