Chapter Seventy-Eight: Goodbye Begonia
Su Ji didn't answer, just quietly looked at the little golden fox on the tree. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing that he didn't speak, the little fox himself couldn't help but ask:
"I've never seen you before...... Who are you, and why are you here?"
"My name is Hu Qi, and I'm here to find Haitang-kun. ”
"You're looking for my daddy?"
The little fox is called Begonia Jun's father, could it be that it is a fox thirty-six years ago?
Su Ji lowered his head and pondered for a while, remembering that he had been in the world for a year and had slept for a day.
Thirty-six years have passed in the world, but the fox has only spent thirty-six days in the Qingling Sleep Realm. Although the age of the fox in the Qingling Sleep Realm will be very slow, the time in this begonia forest is the same as in the world. Since Su Ji was just a little girl when she first saw Fox Xi, it means that she will leave this begonia forest soon.
So what was the reason for her to leave this begonia forest?
The little fox looked at Su Ji and sighed, "It's not the right time for you to come. ”
"How...... Your dad isn't here?" asked Su Ji.
The little fox shook his head and said, "He's here, but he'll be gone soon." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Daddy said he had a spell and was going to a far away place to save my mother. ”
"Spells?far away?" Su Ji pondered for a while and asked, "What's wrong with your mother?"
Hearing Su Ji's question, the little fox lowered his head and said sadly, "One day, a very bad Taoist priest came here. He used a mirror to take many of his people away. My mother was almost arrested by him, but fortunately she was saved by a sister dressed in white. I was born on that day, but my mother was on that day...... Let's go. My dad said it rained a lot that day, just like today. ”
Haitang-kun is going to save his wife? Su Ji was slightly stunned.
The little fox's ears drooped down, his eyes looked in one direction, and he said:
"My dad is under the begonia tree in front of me. He wouldn't let me go over and bother. Go and do it yourself. ”
With that, the little fox ran into the forest and disappeared.
Su Ji braved the heavy rain and walked slowly, brushed off the branches of the begonia tree, and saw a tree, a person, and a tombstone.
Under the tall begonia tree, sat a man in red, with long black hair draped behind his snow-white neck.
The pouring rain wet his hair and the red clothes on his body, but he did not move, looking at the tombstone affectionately, as if looking at the woman he loved the most.
Su Ji saw that there was only one "four" engraved on the tombstone, presumably it was the name of Haitang Jun's wife.
Stopping, Su Ji found that the feeling of Begonia Jun in front of him was completely different from what he had seen before. Haitang Jun, who has turned into a white-sleeved person in the tower prison, seems to have looked down on everything, and now Haitang Jun seems to be immersed in the endless grief of losing his wife, but he didn't expect that he, who is already an immortal, actually has such a fragile side.
“...... I know who you are. When Haitang-kun spoke, his eyes were still fixed on the tombstone.
As he spoke, Su Ji found that a begonia flower floated out of his arms, the petals emitting a faint light, slowly drifting towards the back of the red clothes under the tree.
Haitang-kun gently caught the flower and said in a low voice, "You must have a lot of questions to ask." ”
Su Ji didn't want to disturb too much, so he skipped the greetings and asked straight to the point: "How did you escape from the Qibao Linglong Tower?"
"I've never been inside the Seven Treasures Pagoda, and I don't know how to get out. Haitang-kun's tone was as flat as water.
Su Ji muttered in a low voice: "I heard that the Qibao Linglong Pagoda is holding a fairy spirit, is the rumor false?"
Haitang Jun was silent for a while, and said, "A long time ago, Natari did suppress a Qingqiu fox spirit, but it wasn't me, but Qingli. ”
"Qingli...... Green fox?" Su Ji repeated in a low voice: "A cyan fox?"
"It is a green fox transformed into a human, and likes to travel through different times and spaces, traveling through many worlds. What I know about it is only a small part, if not the smallest, of its long journey. As for those parts that are unknown, they have long since been lost in the hustle and bustle of the world, and have disappeared with the passage of time......"
After listening to Haitang Jun's description, Su Ji felt that the life of Qingqiu Fox Spirit was too long, so long that he could no longer find the shadow of that period of history that he was familiar with. And the Qingli in his mouth is the boy in Tsing Yi who made a one-year appointment with him.
Begonia Jun looked at the flowers in the rain, his eyes were stunned, as if he saw his future.
After a while, he said slowly: "Not long after, there will be a decisive battle between me and Qingli. Qing Li defeated me and wanted to kill me, but I am already the body of an earth immortal, and he can only destroy my physical body, but he cannot destroy my primordial spirit. In order to kill them all, he instigated the disciples of the Interception Sect to use the Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda that had suppressed it to suppress me at the bottom of the tower, so that I could slowly consume my soul. ”
The decisive battle between Haitang and Qingli is bound to be an earth-shattering showdown.
Su Ji took a step forward excitedly and asked, "Since you know that you will lose, can't you try to change this result?"
Haitangjun's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Everything you see after thirty-six years is a foregone conclusion. And what you see and hear now is only a phantom in a dream, and nothing you do can affect the outcome of the future. When you want to make a change that will affect the future, take out this begonia. Remember, you only get one chance. If you can save your loved ones, the favor I owe to Hongzhi will be paid off. ”
Owe a favor to the red branch?
Su Ji remembered that the little fox just said that a sister in white saved her mother from a Taoist priest, and it seemed that the sister in white was Yu Hongzhi.
Thinking of this, Su Ji was stunned. He remembered that the little fox had said that his father was going to a far away place to save his mother. This is likely that Begonia-kun wants to use nightmare magic to go back in time today and save his wife. But because of Su Ji's appearance today, Haitang Jun saw Yu Hongzhi's death, so he gave up the idea of saving his wife, and instead repaid Yu Hongzhi's kindness, leaving the only chance to change the past to himself.
The Qingqiu Fox Spirit will sacrifice itself to repay the kindness of humans, which is something that many humans cannot do. If the future is a foregone conclusion, then Haitang Jun will change his mind today, which is also a predestined thing. But even if everything is destined, Haitangjun's sincere feelings are from the heart and undeniable.
Su Ji looked at the back of the red-clothed man, his expression couldn't help but be moved, it was an indescribable touch, which deeply shocked his heart.
Haitang-kun waved his hand lightly, sent the flower back into Su Ji's arms, and said, "Is there anything else you want to ask? I want to be alone. ”
"One last question. Su Ji asked, "Why do you want me to become a fox seven?"
Haitang-kun looked at the rain curtain in the treetops and said, "You will become Fox Seven, it is not my decision, but Fox Seven's decision." ”
"Fox Seven's decision, why did it do this, what kind of fox spirit is it?"
"It's a three-hundred-year-old white fox. At this age, he was only a child in the clan. The child was unsmiling, no one knew what it was thinking, and only it knew what it decided. If you want to pretend to be it, you have to be calm, or if you are recognized, you will inevitably get killed. ”
"You just said ...... Is it dead?"
"Fox Qi is not dead yet, but he will definitely die in seven days. Once Kitsune dies, you'll go back to where you were before, meaning you only have seven days to change your parents' fate. ”
Seven days?
Su Ji realized that time was pressing, so he didn't bother anymore and silently said goodbye. At the moment when he turned to leave, Haitang-kun seemed to remember something, and suddenly said:
"Although I don't know how to get out of the tower prison now, I think I will be in the tower prison many years later, maybe I know.
Su Ji asked puzzledly: "Since you know, why didn't you tell me in person at that time, but let me ask you?"
"I didn't tell you, I'm afraid there is only one possibility, that is, I am worried that the wall has ears. Haitang-kun paused for a moment and said, "After you return to the Tower Prison, you must pay attention to whether there is a suspicious person around you, and that person is likely to be the key to leaving the Linglong Tower Prison. ”
