More than ten years of stable life have allowed Zhao Xian'er and Ling'er to cultivate a very deep friendship. They all hope to live like this forever, even if Zhao Xian'er clearly knows that Ling'er is just a mortal, and finally one day she will grow old and die before herself.

Zhao Xian'er even thought that if Ling'er died, she would wait for Ling'er to be reincarnated. Even if she searches the ends of the earth, she must find her in the next life, and then stay by her side, protect her, accompany her, and help her silently.

Of course, with continuous cultivation, and not being able to run around, coupled with the fact that she has been helping the kind Ling'er, Zhao Xian'er's skills have grown rapidly, and she has grown a third tail!

And all this, how could Ling'er not know......

If Ling'er was just an ignorant teenage girl at the beginning, she didn't understand the difference between a fox and a dog. But Zhao Xian'er is her only friend and her only relative. Whether she is a dog or a demon, Ling'er is willing to always guard her!

But who would have thought that the war would once again affect this village, which has just been rebuilt for decades. In less than a century, the two changes of dynasties and the two wars across the country are nothing more than "prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer!"

In troubled times, both the rebel army and the Yuan army were beasts of war with changed clothes for the common people! Every time an army passed through a village, the common people would suffer a disaster.

Finally, on a rainy night, a group of troops rushed into Ling'er's courtyard. After discovering that there was nothing of value, they had evil thoughts about Ling'er!

Zhao Xian'er, who was hidden in the firewood room by Ling'er, couldn't bear it anymore, rushed out, and instantly bit two soldiers.

Fortunately, it was night, fortunately there was heavy rain, and no one could see that this was a fox demon, and they all thought it was a guard dog raised by Ling'er!

Ling'er was afraid that Zhao Xian'er would be discovered, she knew that if the soldiers found out that there was a fox demon here, it would definitely attract more soldiers, and then Zhao Xian'er would be unable to protect herself.

So, Ling'er desperately pressed Zhao Xian'er under her body, and let the angry soldiers slash her back again and again with sharp knives.

After a wild slash, the soldier found that Ling'er was already a blur of flesh and blood, and he died of anger. Zhao Xian'er below her was also suffocated and fainted because Ling'er pressed too hard, and she looked like a dead dog. In addition, there was really nothing of value in the courtyard, and a few soldiers scolded and left in disappointment.

At breakfast the next day, the rain stopped, and the sun woke up Zhao Xian'er, who had been in a coma all night. She struggled to open her eyes and saw the blood flowing around her!

Zhao Xian'er struggled to get out from under Ling'er, and at this time, Ling'er had turned into a miserable, cold corpse...... Because she had been in a coma for too long, she didn't even know where Ling'er's soul had gone.

Zhao Xian'er once again felt deep despair, just like when she lost her family a hundred years ago.

She wanted to avenge Ling'er, but the night was dark and rainy, and she couldn't see who the murderer was! It was impossible for her to wipe out the entire army by herself; she wanted to find Ling'er's soul, but in the vast world and all living beings, where should she go to find it?

Just when Zhao Xian'er was confused, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and a large wave of soldiers entered the village. Zhao Xian'er immediately calmed down. In her current state, a three-tailed fox demon with a flesh body, once discovered, will definitely become the target of public criticism. So running for your life is the only way out!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xian'er hastily buried Ling'er and ran towards the depths of the mountain.

However, in that era, the flames of war covered the land of China. There are battlefields everywhere, and there are all kinds of rebels everywhere.

Zhao Xian'er could only run and dodge, constantly changing directions.

I don't know how many days and nights I ran, Zhao Xian'er finally couldn't run. Exhausted, Zhao Xian'er came to the door of an ancient temple.

This ancient temple is quite ancient, the walls are broken several layers, and there are several holes in the temple door.

Zhao Xian'er saw that there was no one around, so she leaned against the side of the hall to rest.

"Master, look, there's a spirit fox there!" A crisp voice woke Zhao Xian'er up. She looked alarmingly in the direction the voice was coming from.

I saw a seven or eight-year-old boy standing in front of the door of the main hall, the boy was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, with the sun and moon on his head, wearing a blue trail and running with a pair of small boots. There are a lot of patches on the body, but it looks refreshing.

Zhao Xian'er didn't know whether she was friend or foe, and immediately entered a defensive state. But looking at Xiao Daotong's clear eyes, she didn't feel a trace of hostility, and even a little warm.

"She's a hard-working child, just let her rest, go to the kitchen and get her something to eat, and then don't bother her!" An old and thick male voice came from the main hall, and when she heard this voice, Zhao Xian'er's hostility didn't know why, and it instantly collapsed. It's like you've been protected.

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Daotong jumped to the kitchen, brought some dry food and water, and gently placed them on the stone steps not far from Zhao Xian'er.

"Eat, little fox, with my master here, no one will hurt you. After eating, you can rest, and I'll go to practice first. After saying that, he ran into the hall again.

Zhao Xian'er simply ate something, and she was really tired from running for days. For some reason, she felt that she was particularly safe here, so she relaxed and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Zhao Xian'er was awakened by the loud chanting sound in the main hall, she slowly walked into the main hall, and found that the dilapidated altar was dedicated to Sanqing. Although dilapidated, the Sanqing statue is very clean, and the incense burner tokens on the altar are readily available.

On the top of the futon in front of the altar sat two people. One is that cute little Taoist boy. The other was a white-haired old man. The old man had silver hair and was very neatly combed. A strand of silver hair fluttered in front of the heart. Like the little Taoist boy, the old man's robe is patched but very neat.

As soon as Zhao Xian'er walked into the main hall, the old man's eyes slowly opened, shooting a stunning gaze.

"You're awake! I'm tired of running so far. The old man seemed to know everything about Zhao Xian'er.

"You don't have to be afraid, your fate is unfortunate, it's nothing more than a catastrophe, as long as you concentrate on the Tao, there will always be a day when you will attain the Tao. You and I are destined, I wonder if you would like to worship me as a teacher?"
