The brother and sister depend on each other and live in the Fox Cave on Purple Mountain to practice.
The Fox Cave was built by hollowing out a thousand-year-old Bodhi tree.
Not many furnishings.
But the layout is simple and warm, and there are traces of the life of Baitao, the little fox cub, everywhere.
On the small table made of polished tree stumps, there are eight-treasure glazed lamps with a charming luster, and next to them are bamboo dragonflies and bamboo grasshoppers knitted by my brother.
There are also teething sticks and all kinds of gadgets that Baitao didn't put away after playing with them in the morning.
Baitao looked guilty.
Jump down and pull them into the bamboo basket, tidying them up.
Brother A is casting a spell to heal the young man's wounds. His facial profile is outlined by the light of the glass lamp, somewhere between clear and handsome.
He lowered his eyes and looked at them with concentration.
Baitao was sensible enough not to disturb her, and waited for her brother to finish casting the spell.
She looked at the boy's sharp eyebrows that could not be hidden even when he was asleep after his wounds disappeared, and said angrily: "How come this good thing is as good-looking as us vixens? But... it's a bit fierce."
"No matter how good the skin is, it is still a red and pink skull."
Bai Tu stopped and tapped the boy's acupuncture point.
He couldn't help but pick up the white peaches and stuff them into the basket.
The little fox quickly covered his face with his tail in the basket and muttered, "Brother, he probably hasn't grown any flesh."
"You don't grow fat, you don't grow tall, and you don't grow much in cultivation either."
Bai Tu fiddled with the scale, looked at the scale and sighed, then took her out with one hand, "What do you think we should do?"
"Then I'll work hard..."
"There is no point in trying hard. There is a shortcut to improve your cultivation. Do you want to take it, little guy?"
Bai Tu looked at the unconscious young boy and asked with curved lips.
shortcut..
Baitao thought of the human documents she had seen before, which said that it was not good to take shortcuts and gain convenience.
She blinked and said, "But brother, is taking shortcuts a serious business?"
"We are goblins, what serious things are we going to do?"
Bai Tu curled his knuckles and tapped her little head, "You are already more than a year old and can only transform into one tail. I will use your little paws to calculate how long it will take for you to transform into a nine-tailed sky fox. Here are two reasons. After more than ten years of shortcuts, how many detours can you avoid?"
It's a bit unclear whether Baitao's two paws look like plum blossoms.
After all, arithmetic has not been learned yet.
But she had a keen sense that something was wrong, "But brother, is it important to transform into a sky fox? Why should I transform into a sky fox so quickly?"
Bai Tu's expression changed slightly.
The moonlight outside the window made his eyes under the silver hair more like the ashes of the melting moon, "One day, little one, you will understand."
"I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand!"
Baitao rolled on the table and stretched out his paw, "Look, the pads are pink."
Then he swung the cattail leaf fan's big tail, which took up more than half of his body, and said, "Look, it can be used to cover the quilt. One tail is enough."
He rolled again like a show off.
Her two semicircular fox ears clicked together, then clicked apart. "Brother, look, I can also make bunny ears. Do I have nine tails that are equally cute?"
A faint smile bloomed at the corner of Bai Cha's mouth, seemingly helpless.
But then he raised his chin slightly, "So what? Brother Bunny Ears can do it too."
Baitao was surprised: "Really?"
My brother is a white fox and I am a red fox.
Even though he has grown so big, Baitao has never seen Brother Meihu make bunny ears. After all, white bunny ears look the most like them.
She pestered her brother: "If you want to see it, you must see it."
Bai Tu raised his eyes and said, "Little guy, can you take a shortcut?"
"Walk!"
The little fox cub is careless and has always taken advantage of the benefits given in front of him.
Bai Tu also leaned on her dotingly.
She watched a few pillars of incense and Brother moved his rabbit ears, and fell asleep in a daze. When the sky was almost dawn, she heard the rustling movement, and Baitao woke up again.
Before opening his eyes, the fox's ears were spinning like a top.
Seizing the direction, the white peach hair grew.
Then he saw the young boy who had his acupuncture points opened at some point. He stood up with an indifferent expression, lowered his eyes and looked into her brown fox eyes.
Baitao bared her teeth in protest at him.
My brother hasn't woken up yet, so he should send a signal to this foreign intruder that he shouldn't mess with him.
The young man looked past her, glanced at the sleeping silver-haired man, and walked out of the fox hole.
Just leave like that?
Baitao wanted to tug on her brother's sleeve and tell him that a good thing had escaped, but then she thought about it.
Opposite me is a mortal, but I am a vixen.
If she can't even stand up to a defenseless mortal, then what kind of vixen is she?
His fighting spirit instantly surged, and Baitao followed him out with his chest puffed out.
The white fish belly outside is slowly rising from the horizon, and rays of sunlight are exploring this mountain forest like tentacles.
The young man didn't go far. He was sitting on the rock, his back was desolate and lonely, and he had a sense of chaos that even the sun couldn't shine through.
Seeing that the good thing didn't run away, Baitao took fox steps and squatted down next to him.
Keep an eye on him.
"Did you save me?"
the boy asked.
His voice was a little hoarse, like a thin veil brushing against gravel.
Baitao didn't want to scare him by opening her mouth, because vixens were very rare. How many times could a mere mortal see one?
She stretched out her paw and licked it, ignoring it.
"...."
Zhao Zheng said without knowing what he meant: "Your fur is so beautiful."
Complimenting the fox's fur is definitely not a good way to praise it, and it even brings out a bit of bloody covetousness.
Bai Tao's pupils shrank, she stopped even licking her paws, and purred in her throat.
Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Look, you understand."
Baitao was stunned, realizing that she had fallen into the trap of a cunning mortal. Although mortals have small limbs, they generally have big brains.
"Are you a mountain spirit?" Zhao Zheng asked.
Baitao said nothing and stopped moving. Her pupils were dilated and she stared straight ahead, acting like a red fox ornament.
Zhao Zheng: "..."
He's a stupid, simple monster.
There was the sound of tiny grass stems being swept behind him, and the silver-haired man inside walked out.
Zhao Zheng was alert all over, and a frost-like coldness appeared on his face, but it disappeared in a moment, as if it was an illusion.
"Who are you, Your Excellency?"
The silver-haired man didn't answer.
When the little fox saw her brother coming out, she pounced on him, raised her tail, and sat on his head. After doing all this, she stuck out her tongue at Zhao Zheng below, showing off her power.
The fox cub was restless, so Bai Tu turned into half a shape, and two fox ears popped up, giving Bai Tao something to focus on.
Seeing the uncontrollable shock on Zhao Zheng's face, he said leisurely: "Who is it? Do you still think I am a human being?"
Zhao Zheng straightened his back, "Do you have anything you want?"
"yes."
"What do you want?"
"My little fox saved your life, is it not too much to ask for half a hundred years of your life?" Bai Tu opened his eyes with demonic greed, "If you don't want to give it, then you have to die again."
Zhao Zheng's eyes were black and as heavy as dead water, "Zhao Zheng is unarmed now, is there any other choice?"
"So your name is Zhao Zheng."
Baitao couldn't hear the tense battle, so she just grabbed her brother's ears and tilted her head.
The little fox was talking, but Zhao Zheng was calm and unmatched by ordinary people. His long eyelashes were motionless, "Zhao Zheng is alone, without a home or a country, and he doesn't know when there will be no tomorrow. It's just an illusory lifespan." , Your Excellency, take it if you want."
Smart people always know how to protect themselves first.
The more Bai Tu saw him like this, the tighter the strings in his mind became. Could such a human emperor be able to be controlled by him in the future?
"Boom——"
Thunder was rolling in the sky, rain was about to come, the strong wind swept the fallen leaves and flew them up and down, and the little boy's ponytail and red hairband danced with the wind.
The oath with the Human Emperor has been fulfilled.
No matter what I say in the future, after all, I got a big deal now.
Bai Tu was in a wonderful mood. He poked the tip of Baitao's nose above his head and signaled to Zhao Zheng: "Come down the mountain and take it later. You can go."
Zhao Zheng took a deep look at the little fox above his head, and then immediately walked down the mountain without saying a word.
The dark clouds roll like ink, the wind blows like a mountain, and the rain pours like a river.
The heavy rain whipped like a whip.
Baitao picked a big banana leaf and used it as an umbrella on Brother Meihu. Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting her, she looked at the back of the little boy walking alone down the mountain.
Anyone who encounters the appearance of a goblin in Zishan will completely forget it when they come down the mountain, and so does Zhao Zheng.
But if you do this, you will turn your back on the fox. It doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not. What about the oath?
Baitao Nuonuo said: "Brother, why don't we capture him and keep him while I watch over him? We can occasionally let him out for some air."
"..."
Bai Tu was speechless, "With our two mountain fairies, can we raise a human emperor named Feng Chan? You might as well think about it carefully, little guy."
Baitao regretted: "But if you let him run away, it would be even harder to eat."
"We can keep an eye on him and wait for others to fatten him up before killing him." Bai Tu picked out a transparent water droplet in the rain curtain and made a crackling sound. "Wouldn't it be nice to just sit back and enjoy the harvest?"
"good!"
Although it is not a serious thing to just sit back and enjoy the success, no matter what brother said, Baitao was so excited that he almost lifted the banana leaf.
The little human emperor in the middle of the mountain was still taking shelter from the rain. The big fox and the little fox on the top of the mountain started a series of coveting and plotting against this piece of human emperor meat.
"What kind of foxes are we?" Bai Tu was reviewing the little fox.
Baitao raised his paw: "Tushan Fox!"
"For nearly a thousand years, our most remarkable ancestors were."
"Grandma Dajizu!"
"our target is."
Target?
Bai Tao was confused, tilted her head and said: "Evolve the Nine Tails and become a Sky Fox."
"Wrong!" Bai Tu poked her little head with his fingertips, "Get a lifespan equal to that of Heaven and become a god!"
"Okay brother! Our goal is to become a god!"
Even though she was half-informed, Baitao was still full of confidence.
"Not bad, promising." Bai Tu looked at the newly grown little guy quite proudly.
