But then I thought about it, Qingyun had not been out of the village for so many years and had only seen a few people, so he was inevitably curious about the colorful world outside.
Fortunately, the problem of Qilin's teeth being conspicuous has been solved. As long as he does not reveal his cultivation, and the father and son avoid large towns, there should be no danger.
"What about dad and mom?"
Qingyun looked at the lonely grave outside the window, and a strong feeling of longing suddenly rose in his heart, and he asked reluctantly.
"It's okay Yun'er, my father will bring you back to see my mother after a while. Don't worry, no one will disturb you here."
Yi Qing also looked outside the house and assured Qingyun with a smile.
What Qingyun doesn't know is that the house he has lived in for more than ten years has actually been set up by his parents with extremely complicated formations. In addition to the three of them in the world, there is now a little white fox. I am afraid that only the peerless ones in the Guiling realm can Only a master can force his way in.
Of course, if someone from the Guiling Realm wanted to force his way in, half of the mountain would probably be razed to the ground.
But to be honest, being forced into it is not a big deal. My mother, Yun Mulan, passed away and left nothing behind. The tomb outside the house is just a tomb, so there is no need to care about the tomb.
This may also be a kind of sadness for monks. Many people practice diligently throughout their lives, but in the end they can only become a withered skeleton on the road to success for others, and eventually turn into nameless ashes with the wind and return to heaven and earth.
Therefore, most cultivators will choose a secret place to close the door to death before their lifespan is about to expire. The lucky ones may be able to break through the bottleneck and increase their lifespan, but if they are unlucky, they will only get a handful of loess at most.
The only advantage is to avoid being disturbed by others, otherwise there will be no peace after death.
"Then Yun'er has nothing to worry about, but dad, what should Alian do?"
Qingyun asked with a look of embarrassment on his face. After all, the only thing he couldn't let go of now was the little white fox in his arms.
Firstly, the white fox is still young, and secondly, if his father refuses to take it away, Qingyun is afraid that as time goes by, he really doesn't know what else to miss about everything in this mountain.
"Ouch~"
The little white fox seemed to understand Qingyun's words. After squealing twice, it suddenly dug its head into Qingyun's arms, as if it refused to come out.
Looking at the little white fox in Qingyun's arms, Yi Qing also lowered his head thoughtfully and fell silent.
It was getting late, and the mountainside was much colder than the foot of the mountain. Although there was no snow, the ground outside the house looked very rough, as if even if you wore shoes, your feet would freeze when you walked.
Yun Mulan's tomb is right behind the hut, and the whole house looks extremely awkward among the mountains and forests. After a while, Yi Qing raised his head and stared at the white fox.
At this time, the white fox named Alian in Qingyun's arms suddenly shrugged its pointed ears. It seemed that it felt Yi Qing's aggressive gaze. The animal's instinct of sensing danger made it become a little irritable, and it also raised its head, a pair of Eyes as bright as gemstones stared at Yi Qing.
Suddenly, with lightning speed, Yi Qing touched Qingqing Baihu's forehead with his finger without Qingyun seeing what was happening. The fox tilted its head and fell asleep.
"Dad, what are you doing! How can you hurt Alian! She is just a little fox!"
Qingyun hurriedly moved the little white fox away from Yi Qing's fingers.
This move seemed to Qingyun to be a serious move. Although he also knew that his father had always disliked the little white fox, he also knew his father's character very well. He would never kill indiscriminately. He usually ate vegetarian food and drank some alcohol with his parents. Potion made by my father.
"Yun'er, give it to me. We don't know how far we have to walk. My father just let it fall asleep and will find a safe place to put it down later."
Yi Qing looked calmly at his son holding the white fox in his arms, and said quietly.
He understood that hiding a fox demon in his body would bring great danger to the two of them along the way. Moreover, it was only a legendary white fox demon. For the safety of his son, he could not take this risk.
Mortals don't know, but he is a peerless master in the spirit realm, and he still knows some secrets.
There are no white fox demons in the demon clan fox demons, and ordinary white foxes will never have psychic fox demons. This matter is like some established rules, which have been regulated by the demon clan since ancient times. well known.
But according to legends of the demon clan, there is a white fox demon. It was passed down from the distant ancient times. There is no written record and it only exists in murals.
The white fox demon with nine tails is also known as the "Nine-tailed Sky Fox" and is one of the ancestors of the demon clan.
I don’t know why, but then the world changed dramatically, and these ancestors of the demon clan all disappeared from the world, but the revelation about the nine-tailed fox was passed down countless years later.
Of course, the origin of the demon clan is still an unsolved mystery, just like the so-called ancestor.
If these great monsters really cannot ascend and die of old age, why not leave their own bloodline inheritance? In other words, those powerful "ancestors" are not monsters at all, just some strange beasts with extraordinary abilities.
This is also an emerging statement put forward by later generations of scholars who study the history of Kyushu. It is just a digression.
"Dad, why can't you take it away? Yun'er won't take anything with you, just take A-Lian, okay?"
His son's voice brought Yi Qing, who was far away from his thoughts, back to reality.
Qingyun felt a little sad in his heart. He was mentally prepared to see Sister Nanzhi and other friends again. He even thought that these friends might never be seen again in the future, but Alian could be taken away! .
"no!"
Looking at Qingyun's hopeful eyes, Yi Qing flatly objected.
"Why, daddy, why don't you bring a fox?"
Qingyun was also a little anxious, holding the white fox tightly in his arms, deeply afraid that his father would take away the last person he cared about.
"You will understand in the future. Be obedient, Yun'er, and give it to your father!"
Yi Qing smiled helplessly, but still could only make up his mind and refuse his son's request.
Qingyun looked at his father who seemed to never agree to take Alian with him, and he finally gave up. So he took out a small bell from under his pillow. It was given to him by his mother when he was a child, but he didn't take it with him when he grew up.
Then, I saw him crawling out of bed again, taking out a carving knife from the small wooden box under the bed, then lying on the bed, and started carving on the surface of the bell meticulously.
But no matter how hard he tried, the bell seemed harder than a carving knife and could not leave a trace. Yi Qing couldn't help but smile and said when he saw that his son was using up all his strength to feed himself.
"Yun'er, don't bother. Whatever you want to engrave, my father will help you."
"Dad, why is this bell so hard? Why didn't I notice it before?"
Qingyun reluctantly handed the little bell to his father and asked in confusion.
"This is called the Wind Chime. It was worn by your mother before and was given to you later. The reason you can't engrave it is because you are too weak!"
Yi Qing took the wind chime and joked.
"What, it shouldn't be, the carving knife is very sharp? Forget it, dad, you can carve the word "Lotus" for me. If I come back in the future and hear the bell and see the word "Lotus", I will know it is A-Lian. ”
Qingyun shook his head sadly, and then sighed:
"Hey, I hope it can recognize me again in the future."
"Haha, don't worry, she must know you. Okay, come and bring it to her."
With a few strokes of his knife, Yi Qing effortlessly carved the word "Lotus" on the wind chime.
"Thank you, dad. You are so good. Why can't I engrave it? It's really strange."
Qingyun was a little confused by the monk Zhang Er, but he felt that maybe he was too thin and had no strength, so he immediately tied the engraved wind chime around the neck of the little white fox.
At this time, Yi Qing also took out the amber pendant that had just been refined, which was the Qilin tooth, from his arms, and also gently tied it around Qingyun's neck.
"Ah, Daddy, it's so beautiful! What did you do, Daddy?"
After all, Qingyun was still a child. He was so surprised that he looked at the crystal clear amber pendant around his neck, and he was extremely happy.
"Father has his own way. Okay, if father is not here in the future, you can follow the method I taught you and face the sunrise regularly. This is good for your health. Also, you must not show the pendant to others. , so as not to cause trouble, remember!”
Yi Qing said solemnly.
"I know, dad, don't worry!"
Qingyun responded with a smile, and then stroked his beautiful new pendant with great care.
It was getting late, and he took another look at the white fox Alian beside him. Qingyun reluctantly handed over his last "friend" to his father and gave him many instructions.
Yi Qing surprisingly responded one by one, which even Qingyun was a little surprised.
"Dad, you talked a lot today! It doesn't look like you anymore. Are you my dad?"
Qingyun half-truthfully made a joke about his father. Yesterday his father was still dripping with blood, but today he recovered and was given a new pendant. Such a dreamlike time made him feel like he was dreaming.
Yi Qing also laughed when he heard this and said:
"Silly boy, it's getting late. In an hour or two at most, I'll find a safe place for my father to place him and then come back. We'll set off early tomorrow morning. You can eat some food and rest early. Don't worry about your father. ”
"I know, Daddy. Yun'er has something to eat and then goes to bed. Daddy, come back early. I'll leave the door open for you."
The new life that was about to begin finally diluted the sadness of his farewell, Qingyun smiled and waved to Yi Qing.
"I understand. Remember, don't go out by yourself before my father comes back, let alone go down the mountain."
Yi Qing gave his son a steady look and then gave instructions.
"Dad, you are really talkative today. You won't come back, right?"
Qingyun also said with a smile.
"No, go to bed early."
Yi Qing raised the corner of his mouth, simply said these words to Qingyun, turned around and left the house with Bai Hu.
