Time is most magical when the sun and moon alternate. Normally you cannot see or touch it, but when the sun sets and the new moon rises, you can clearly feel its passage.
Just like many people and many things, when things are ordinary, you feel that everything is normal. I add a spoonful of rice for you, and you add a piece of clothing for me.
But parting always comes without warning. Just like the father and son, no one knows what tomorrow's sunrise will be like, or whether this new moon will be the roundest in this life.
But at least before going out, you gave me a smile, and I returned your care. Of course, this may be the case between any father and son in the world.
You said it was because of drinking that one should not be frightened by spring sleep, and gambling on books would make the fragrance of tea splash away. At that time, one could only say that it was ordinary.
In Liangren Village.
"Jiujin, did you see Grandpa Liangshan before going home tonight?"
A peasant woman sat in front of an oil lamp, threading needles and threads in front of the oil lamp, while chatting with her son about home affairs with a smile.
"Mom, how many times have I told you, don't call me Jiu Jin? It's so unpleasant. If Sister Nanzhi hears it, she will laugh at me again."
The person who answered the peasant woman was a dark-faced boy about sixteen or seventeen years old. Yes, it was the same Tiezhu who wanted to accept Qingyun as his younger brother in front of Liangren Village a few days ago.
At this time, he was sitting in front of his mother, seemingly waiting for her to help him mend the damaged clothes.
"Haha, my Tiezhu has grown up and is already shy. I just didn't know that Nanzhi girl would fall in love with a silly boy like you!"
After putting on the thread, the peasant woman began to tease her son, knotted a thread, took the clothes in her son's hand, and started sewing quickly with her hands and feet.
"Mom, what are you talking about! What Nanzhi likes is Qingyun's little bamboo pole!"
Tie Zhu smiled awkwardly, but his smile also contained a hint of jealousy and loneliness that only children would have.
The peasant woman also smiled softly when she heard this, but said nothing. At this time, Tie Zhu said honestly:
"Mom, I haven't seen them for two days. Grandpa Liangshan, too. I don't know where he took Sister Nanzhi. It seems that since the two immortals left, Grandpa Liangshan and the two of them have also disappeared. "
"Really, forget it. Mom suffered from rheumatism a few days ago, and your Liangshan grandfather gave her some herbs, which were quite effective. It's cold now, and he's getting older. Except for Nanzhi, I haven't seen him with any symptoms. What kind of relative is this? Mom is afraid that something might happen to him when he is alone at home, so I want you to come over and have a look, and send some food along the way."
The peasant woman slowly mended her clothes stitch by stitch. Although her hands were covered with a thick layer of calluses, it did not affect her ability to move the threads dexterously. After a while, her clothes were neatly patched with a patch, as small as a pocket.
"Mom, do you want to send them there tonight? It's still early!"
Tie Zhu was so satisfied that he took over the clothes mended by the peasant woman. He looked around and felt that his mother was good at her craftsmanship and could mend old clothes into new ones.
"Look at how hopeless you are. If you want to see if Miss Nanzhi is at home, just say so. Don't wait until she actually gives it to that handsome boy before you regret it!"
The peasant woman looked at her half-grown son and muttered.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense, it will be bad for others to hear!"
Tie Zhu's dark face could see the blush on his cheeks under the candlelight.
He only dared to think about marrying Yan Nanzhi in his dreams. He usually looked like a grown man in front of her, and it was rare to have such a shy expression.
"Haha, okay, mother, don't say anything. It's too late now, so don't go. Bring some white noodles from home tomorrow morning, and Quan will return the old man's love for giving medicine. Tie Zhu remembers it, as a human being Gratitude."
Although the peasant woman is illiterate, she obviously knows how to teach her son how to behave.
"Okay, no problem, mother, when will I go there tomorrow?"
Tie Zhu scratched his head and asked naively.
"Don't you kid usually sleep until three o'clock in the morning? Are you excited to see Miss Nanzhi? Let's talk about tomorrow's matters!"
The mother touched her son's head and said kindly.
"Oh, okay, then I'll go back to the house first, mother."
Tie Zhu reluctantly took his clothes and entered his room. In his heart, he would never get tired of looking at Sister Nanzhi’s pretty little face. If he could see her one more time, it would be better if he saw her earlier. OK
Although tomorrow will not be the same as today, it will not be late or early, but it is still full of expectations.
Just like in his dream under the stars, Nanzhi in the dream stuffed a hawthorn fruit for him, a little sour, a little sweet, and with such an alluring face, he was so beautiful that he didn't want to wake up.
Let’s talk about Yi Qing.
Walking in the mountains at night does not affect Yi Qing's speed. For him who has entered the spiritual realm at the top of the Kyushu world of cultivation, many times there is no need for a road at all, because there are many choices for him to do whatever he wants.
But this time, considering the safety of his son and himself, Yi Qing did not choose to put the white fox Alian on Yiren Mountain. Instead, he started his cultivation. Yufeng flew to Banren Mountain opposite Yiren Mountain and put her there. Placed in an abandoned cave in Banren Mountain.
Looking at the little white fox who was still sleeping soundly, Yi Qing had mixed feelings in his heart, and he murmured a song and composed a poem casually:
"The white fox appears in the empty valley, and a group of monsters cause chaos in the nine states. I wonder if the sky is wrong. I will not only return you a few autumns."
After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly.
Then, with a slight stroke of his left hand, a white talisman appeared out of thin air on his chest. Then he slowly placed the white fox on the ground, opened his mouth to the talisman and said:
"Little fox, oh no, Alian. I believe you also know that you are half-demon. Your parents may have never told you that half-demon is the offspring of a combination of demons and other races. It depends on the frequency of your spiritual power fluctuations. , either your father or mother should be human."
After a pause, Yi Qing continued to speak patiently as if teaching common sense to a child:
"Half-demon is easier to cultivate into a human form than a natural demon, or a demon spirit cultivated by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. However, after cultivating the human form, the magic power will be relatively weak, and it is not as complete as other demons. It is very difficult to get rid of the innate physical signs of your demon clan. This means that if you wear a fox tail or fox ears, it will be difficult for you to live in the human world. Returning to the demon clan is your best choice. .”
After sorting out his thoughts, Yi Qing then said to Fu Lu:
"When I was young, I made friends with the demon clan, and I also heard the popular saying of the demon clan: the white fox appears in the world, I will be the demon, the Kyushu will not prosper, and all the immortals and demons will perish. Although I don't know whether these four sentences are true or false, but you His future achievements are bound to be limitless. I leave you so many messages for no other reason than to let you understand that human beings have their own paths. You have your tribe, and Qingyun also has his world. If you insist on being with him, Together, then you may be like your unknown father or mother, hiding in the mountains and forests for the rest of your life."
As if he felt that his words were a bit harsh, Yi Qing stopped talking, but after a while he continued to say in a deep voice:
"When you have a hundred or thousand years of life, Qingyun may have left you long ago. He has been weak since childhood. Although he has Qilin teeth now, he doesn't know how long he can live. I know you are in love with him, and this is why I don't know. The reason to kill you. So, I hope you can keep the secret of Qilin Ya for him in the future, if you really like him."
After saying this, Yi Qing waved his right hand again, and a dazzling array of bottles appeared out of thin air on the ground, as well as many talismans, magic weapons, etc. Finally, he casually took off a purse and placed it among the bottles and jars, and then said:
"Most of the elixirs on the ground are elixirs that increase cultivation and replenish vitality. Based on your nature, I don't need to elaborate on it. I hope you will make good use of it and don't be eager for quick success. As for those talismans and treasures, most of them are extremely powerful. An easy-to-control disposable item, left for you to use for self-defense. I have been alone for nearly a thousand years, the Jinna Ring has been damaged long ago, and I have nothing good with me. I will also give you the last treasure bag. I hope you will do well. use!"
After checking again to see if there were any omissions, Yi Qing then ordered:
"There is a barrier set up by me at the entrance of the cave. From the outside, it requires a concentrated cultivation level to break it. From the inside, you only need to reach the realm of hundreds of meridians to easily get out. This can also guarantee your safety to a certain extent. Safe. At that time, whether you choose to return to the tribe or find my father and son is up to you. I will not interfere with your choice anymore. I hope you can take care of yourself."
After saying that, Yi Qing was about to place the white talisman next to Alian, who was sleeping soundly on the ground, but after thinking about it, he finally added:
"If Yun'er can wait for you, Alian."
After saying that, Yi Qing put down the talisman and left the cave, then drifted away.
Even he himself didn't understand that for Qingyun's safety, he could directly kill such an inexperienced little demon with just a hint of spiritual pressure, eradicating any potential threat to his son.
But the appearance of the little white fox also reminded him of his former demon friends and his beloved wife Yun Mulan, which made him unable to start. He had to temporarily trap it in the cave and wait until it could transform before making any plans.
But at that time, he and Yun'er may have no idea where they are, and after Alian transforms, he may also stop thinking about Qingyun, after all, he is still young now.
Gratitude and love are two different things after all.
With all kinds of thoughts, Yi Qing walked down the mountain slowly, and was about to take his children away from the spiritual mountain opposite where he had lived for more than ten years. This kind of complicated mood was something he had rarely encountered again in his many years of practicing Taoism.
Only the empty Yiren Mountain still echoed with the song Yi Qing hummed casually:
"The white fox appears in the empty valley, and a group of monsters cause chaos in the nine states. I wonder if the sky is wrong. I will not only return you a few autumns."
Since you can't stay, then move forward. It may be night now, but when you leave here, it may be dawn.
