Moon Mi Shutong

Chen Xin saw a vast expanse of whiteness in an instant, as if the mist was rising. In the white mist, she couldn't even find Jitong lying beside her. There was only the sound of swords and swords intersecting. Dou couldn't help being frightened, and shouted: "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi!"

"It's okay, it will be fine soon." Ji Tong's voice seemed a little weak due to the continuous bleeding on his legs, he wanted to break free from the restraints on his hands so that he would not look too embarrassed in front of this person, and this time There was a loud noise, and the white light disappeared in an instant, even Yan Qinglan disappeared, there was only a green light, which went further and further away.

Huaizhen turned around, with a light swipe of his finger, he cut off the shackles of the two, and said: "Yan Qinglan has been seriously injured, and it is impossible to fully recover within ten years. At this time, nothing has happened, you all go back to the mountain immediately. go."

Ji Tong lowered her head, tore off her Taoist robe, and tied up the bleeding wound.The wound medicine on his body was given to Ji Yin, so he could only simply bandage it at this time.Skin trauma like this can only be healed slowly by one's own morality. If you ask someone to heal with Taoism, it will consume a lot of magic. If you really have the heart to save people with magic, how can you heal so many people who are injured every day? Come here, why should they make alchemy.

Chen Xin was full of joy, and said to Huaizhen: "Thank you, real person. Is the real person the Sanxian who gave a lecture today? I wanted to go to the main hall to listen to the scriptures, but I didn't catch up. The real person has boundless magic power, you can take me as a disciple Is it?" It turned out that Chen Xin thought that this time he went down the mountain without listening to Tai Shifu's words, and he would be punished if he went back. This expert is so powerful in Taoism. Like Uncle Jitong, there is no hope of cultivating Taoism.

Ji Tong frowned slightly: "Chenxin, you have violated the taboo of cultivating Taoism by changing to another teacher without your master's consent. This loose fairy... comes and goes without a trace, how can I have time to teach you?"

Huai Zhen smiled lightly, this smile was extremely touching, even Chen Xin was dumbfounded.

"You are indeed a rare beauty and talent, but what you... my uncle said is right. If you want to switch to another sect, you need your master's permission, and you have paid a big gift."

He rolled his eyes slyly, and said: "Uncle Shi is also an elder, so it's okay to tell him." Then he knocked his head three times in front of Ji Tong, "Uncle Shi, please agree."

Ji Tong shook his head and smiled wryly: "What a child... Do you take such an important matter as a joke?" He had an injury on his leg and took some medicine. He was lying on the ground at this time, but he couldn't get up for a while.Chen Xin helped him up, and he leaned on Chen Xin, but his eyes never met Huai Zhen's.

Huai Zhen didn't pay attention, he pondered for a while, and said: "I'm used to being alone, I really don't like having apprentices by my side, let me think about this matter. Besides, it's late today, I just want to accept You are an apprentice, you have to wait until tomorrow to talk to your master and head."

Chen Xin was overjoyed, and hugged Ji Tong's waist: "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, he agreed to consider taking me as an apprentice!"

Chen Xin was overjoyed, originally wanted to hug Huaizhen, but seeing Huaizhen's Daoguxianfeng, as if he was out of the world, this hug seemed to insult him, so he hugged Jitong.

Ji Tong frowned and snorted softly.

Huai Zhen glanced at him and said, "I don't have the antidote for Miqingsan."

"A flush of cold water is enough, what antidote do you use? There is a cave over there, and there is a stream beside the cave. Real people don't need to rest, but we mortals do."

Chen Xin tugged at his sleeve, and said softly: "Uncle Shi, why are you so rude to Daoist?"

Ji Tong smiled wryly and shook his head, but didn't say much.He did have a prejudice against Huai Zhen.But he also understood Chen Xin's thoughts.If Huaizhen took Chen Xin as his disciple, he would be an outsider standing next to him, so if he left the two of them to return to Luoxia Peak tonight, the entire Qingxiu Wuxin faction would know that Chen Xin would switch to another faction. If Chenxin fails Huaizhen's test and cannot worship Huaizhen as a teacher, Chenxin will no longer have a foothold in Qingxiu Wuxin School.

In fact, Ji Tong thinks that Huai Zhen doesn't need to think about it, both of them have deep thoughts, Chen Xin is really suitable for him to be his apprentice.

Chen Xin also seemed to know that the key to being able to worship Huai Zhen as his teacher was tonight, he took extremely good care of the two of them, collected firewood and made a fire, and even caught a few fish, roasting them until they were golden and crispy, which made people's index fingers move.

Huaizhen meditated and practiced in the cave, while Jitong took off her clothes and put her by the stream, soaking her whole body in the cold water.The wound on the calf was excruciatingly painful, and blood was seeping from the cloth strips that were bound.

Unexpectedly, Bai Junxian, the nine-tailed fox king, would live in seclusion in Meiyan Mountain, under the pseudonym Huaizhen.

In fact, he doesn't need to change his name, deceiving people is a skill in Tianhu Tao.Bai Junxian deceived Xuanzhen because Bai Junxian was highly skilled, while Xuanzhen was a fool and deserved to be ridiculed by the whole world.How hard is the road to practice, people and foxes have different paths.

Those who are not of my race must have a different heart, and he would actually believe in the love of a fox.

As night fell, the stream became colder and colder.Ji Tong felt that the fire of desire in her heart had been extinguished a bit, but she didn't go ashore.If the person had already fallen asleep, perhaps he could still face it calmly.But this person has reached the stage of transcending catastrophe, so he doesn't need to eat fireworks in the world, and he doesn't need to sleep every night.If he hadn't gone ashore because of this man, he might have spent the night in the water.

Even after so many years, he is not as calm as he thought.Ji Tong smiled bitterly.

After Chen Xin and Huai Zhen talked for a while, they would be so sleepy that they would yawn.Huaizhen then asked him to rest in the cave, and leaned against the fire outside the cave, playing a bamboo flute in a low voice.

Bai Junxian is a very talented person. He is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Back then, the two of them traveled all over the world hand in hand, playing the piano and playing the flute in their free time.But this song is extremely difficult. It started several times, but it has been difficult to continue.

Ji Tong listened to the sound of the flute and felt a little disturbed, so she went ashore and put on her clothes.Although it was a hot summer night, it was already midnight at this time, and he felt even colder after going ashore. His lips were already a little white from the cold, so he gathered his clothes and sat by the fire.

The fish is grilled perfectly, crispy yellow but not burnt, fresh and delicious.Ji Tong ate very slowly.Huai Zhen had already put down his flute, staring at the dancing flames in a daze.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early after eating. I'm used to sleeping in the open, and I often stay up at night. Let me keep watch tonight." Huai Zhen's voice was very gentle.

Ji Tong raised his head to meet his gaze: "Although the real person has reached the period of crossing the catastrophe, it is not necessary to sleep at all. It is better to take a little rest to deal with the catastrophe. I can't sleep tonight or so, and the night watch is just right."

If he had a nightmare in front of him and didn't know how to lose his composure, he might as well not sleep.

Huaizhen just smiled lightly, changed the subject and said: "The body of a boy is very important to those of the Qingxiu Wuxin sect. I think that although your bones are not good, your Yuanyang is not broken. You may not be able to achieve some success in your hard work in the future. , why would you make such a big bet with Yan Qinglan today?"

Meeting today under such a situation, this person must look down on him from the beginning to the end, and now the question is inconsequential, but it is just a good cover-up.

"Achievement?" Ji Tong smiled wryly, "The head master has already seen it, saying that I will never build a foundation in my life. Xiu will live a few more years at most in his life."

"A bad root doesn't mean there's no cure. As long as you can pass through the Nine Tribulations Cave, you can be reborn and reshaped as a human being. Although your root bone may not be perfect, at least it can be as good as ordinary people."

"The real person is joking. Although the Nine Tribulations Cave is called Nine Tribulations, the illusion is realistic, as if encountered in the world. The test is all the love, hatred, resentment and anger in the world. Who in the world can come out of the cave? Ji Tong is just an ordinary person. , I don’t think I have extraordinary perseverance.”

"That's right, anyone who wants to be reborn after calamity and reborn must have the desire to become a fairy in his heart. If the hallucinations are full of immortal queens calling the wind and rain, omnipotent, who would be willing to wake up from the illusion? Huai Zhen sighed and said, "Since you are so clear-headed and know that cultivating the Tao is useless to you, why do you still stay in the Qingxiu Wuxin School?"

"Because there is nowhere to go." He replied a little coldly, as if he didn't want to talk to him any more, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Huai Zhen smiled slightly, and said to himself: "Since I have made up my mind to accept disciples, why don't you also worship under my sect. Although it will be difficult to achieve greatness in the future, it is worse than the sect of Qingxiu Wuxin sect."

"The kindness of the real person, I accept it with all my heart. Even becoming an immortal may not be able to beat ordinary people in the world."

"How to say?" His eyes moved slightly.

"A mortal reincarnated is actually immortal, not to mention looking down for decades, wouldn't it be fun? If you become a fairy, your general love and hatred will have to be remembered for hundreds or even thousands of years. It is difficult to get rid of it. What's the use of living so long? "

Huai Zhen was slightly taken aback, and said softly, "What you said is very similar to a person."

Ji Tong couldn't help but regret secretly, he was excited for a while and couldn't help but say a few more words.But he forgot to get along with Bai Junxian for a long time, Bai Junxian is very familiar with his every move, even though the whole person is completely different, but it is difficult to escape his deeds in every gesture, Bai Junxian cannot be suspicious.

It's just that he didn't expect that he was so impressed.

Even if he remembered, it was probably just because he felt guilty, but he thought that his soul was gone and he couldn't repay it.

"Really?" He didn't want to meet Huaizhen's prying eyes, so he stared at the last grilled fish left by the fire.Although he ate slowly, he had been eating when the two of them were silent just now, and he ate a total of three skewers.

For a young man, even if he doesn't swim, soaking in cold water for too long will consume his energy. These three strings are really nothing.Moreover, the food on Miqing Mountain is very meager, and the disciples would hold a tooth-making sacrifice when they found the opportunity to go down the mountain. However, although he often had the opportunity to go down the mountain privately, he was short of cash and his cooking skills were extremely bad. He had been there for several months. I have never tasted such deliciousness.

But this is the last string, and this person probably didn't eat much from start to finish.

"Eat it if you want to eat it." Huai Zhen smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"Then I won't be polite." It's really not polite to be with a person who is about to become a fairy, not to mention that at least one-third of this person's achievements today should be attributed to himself.

Ji Tong was burying her head in her mouth, when she suddenly heard Huai Zhen say: "Do you think I should accept Chen Xin as an apprentice?"

"The real person has already had an idea, why bother to ask me?" He didn't even lift his head, and ate slowly. If there were two more, he doubted that he would even be able to eat until dawn.

"In fact, although he has a good foundation and talent, he can only be regarded as one in a hundred, not the top choice. And I have not been used to having people around me for 20 years." Huai Zhen seemed to be talking to himself. , "But his eyes really look like... Could it be because this is his teacher?"

Ji Tong suddenly felt that the crispy grilled fish seemed a little bit hard to swallow, and raised his head: "Who does it look like?"

"Like an old friend." Huai Zhen sighed.

"What about your old friend?"

"The soul is gone." He looked a little numb.

"Since his soul is gone, then Chenxin can't be him. If you look a little like him, you will take him as a disciple, I'm afraid Mei Yanshan will be full of people." Although Ji Tong was smiling, but that smile A little cold, it seems to be ironic.

Huai Zhen didn't seem to hear it, and said softly: "After the soul of a person dissipates, it still exists in the world. Maybe in a certain person, there will be a ray of his soul."

"However, if he hadn't dissipated his soul and reincarnated, he was almost another person, so how could there be any resemblance?"

Huai Zhen was stunned: "That's right, I actually forgot this point. If so, the one who resembles him may not be him, and the one who is not like him may have his spirit in him. Moreover, the spirit floats in the sky and is invisible, maybe it has dissipated Among the mountains and rivers, blending into the river." He seemed to be in a daze for a while, before he said, "I seem to have talked too much tonight, and it is very pleasant to talk with you, you will not dislike me for bothering you?"

"How dare you."

"In that case, let's say goodbye today." He stood up, saluted Ji Tong slowly, his expression seemed to be a little lost, he gathered his mind, then turned around and walked away.Ji Tong wanted to stop him, and asked him how to explain to that child Chen Xin, but he saw that after walking a dozen steps, his body disappeared like smoke, and he was already thousands of miles away.

Ji Tong couldn't help but smiled wryly, and was about to finish eating the rest of the fish, but saw Chen Xin running out of the cave, pushed him hard, and pushed him to the ground, with tears in his eyes: "Why did you let me eat?" He won't take me as a disciple? I hate you! I hate you!"

He was pushed by Chen Xin, and the fish skewer in his hand fell to the ground. He couldn't help being stunned: "Chen Xin, you..." Unexpectedly, Chen Xin pretended to be sleeping in the cave, but was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.I'm afraid Bai Junxian has already noticed it, so he didn't bother to explain it to him.

"I know, you must be jealous that I have higher talent and roots than you, that's why you stop me from taking Sanxian as my teacher, don't you? I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Chen Xin stamped her face with tears Stamped, turned and ran away.

Ji Tong wanted to go after him, but his legs and feet were inconvenient and he was injured, how could he compare to a young man who already had a Daoist foundation, after only two steps, he had to stop.

Seeing that Chenxin was going up the mountain, and knowing that although he was sad, he did not leave willfully, he was relieved.The next day, several brothers went down the mountain to find him and helped him back.A well-meaning senior brother told him that Chenxin had already gone up the mountain, and he told about the fact that his junior brother and nephew, who had let him guard the alchemy, went to the main hall to give lectures.As a result, Chen Xin and the others were punished ten times with the cane, and as an elder, he was punished one more.In addition to the stick responsibility, I have to carry water and chop firewood for the woodshed for a month after my leg injury is healed.

As he said that night, Chen Xin ignored him.Although he wanted to try to explain to Chen Xin, but Chen Xin was so angry that he didn't even look at him.

After more than a month, most of the leg injury was healed.

The helpers in the firewood room are all disciples who have just started. Once a disciple comes to be tortured, the rest of the people do not need to do heavy work, such as filling ten large tanks of water from the foot of the mountain.

Ji Tong's legs and feet are inconvenient, and she gets up at Yin hour every morning to carry water, and often it takes until midnight to fill the ten tanks.At the beginning, I could do my best, but later on, I felt dizzy and dizzy, my shoulders were sore and swollen, and I would fall to the ground when my feet slipped, overturning the water I picked halfway up the mountain.

Only halfway through this day, I felt my legs and feet were sore, and my steps were staggering. Suddenly, someone supported my shoulders, and the pole on my shoulders was also taken off and placed on the ground.

He turned around and saw a white-clothed man, who looked like a bone fairy, with a peerless appearance, who was actually Huaizhen.He frowned and said, "Have all the Qingxiu Wuxin sects died? How can I let a lame... ask you to carry water?"

Ji Tong had no choice but to explain the reason, and said: "Why did the real person come here? Is it because of that child Chen Xin?" It is better for Huai Zhen to change his mind and accept Chen Xin as his disciple, so that Huai Zhen will never appear in front of him again , Chen Xin will not blame him anymore, the best of both worlds.

"No." Huai Zhen paused and said, "After having a long talk with Your Excellency last time, I feel that I have benefited a lot. I wonder if we can have a wine talk again?"

"Really, you are being polite. I am an unknown person, ignorant of the law, and I don't know the importance of what I say, and I have dirty the ears of the real. Not to mention that I have to carry water before tonight."

"If I carry water for you, how about you talking with me?"

Ji Tong was slightly startled, before he could answer, Huai Zhen pointed at the stream at the foot of the mountain, and shouted: "Get up!" A stream of clear water flowed continuously, like a straight green dragon, flying up the mountain.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the water column, forming a small rainbow, which was very beautiful.

Ji Tong couldn't help being slightly dizzy.This trick of drinking water from a long dragon is one of the Taoist skills to move mountains and seas, but he made it so random.His Taoism is probably on par with the immortals after ascension.

Ji Tong suddenly remembered that this water column crossed Sanqing Palace and Luoxia Peak, and it was still dusk, so many people saw it, Huaizhen's help for him was bound to be known by everyone, and it would definitely arouse all kinds of jealousy and suspicion , could not help but sigh secretly.

"Okay, what else to do?" Huai Zhen smiled.

"No more." Ji Tong had no choice but to turn around, "If Master Huaizhen has an assignment, please tell me."

"My real name is Bai Junxian, and my Taoist name is Huaizhen. If you call me Junxian or Huaizhen, don't add the word 'true'."

"I would like to obey Taiwan's order." He bowed and saluted slowly.Thinking silently in his heart, this dao name must be used to deceive people, and he is still used to using his identity as the fox king in private.

Bai Junxian showed a little smile: "There is a beautiful view on Miqing Mountain, let's talk there." After speaking, he walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

Bai Junxian has been to Miqing Mountain before, of course Xuanzhen took him there, Jitong naturally knew that he was referring to the Wuxin Pavilion on the top of the floating clouds, it is a good place to watch the sun, the morning sun emerges from the surging sea of ​​clouds, The end is boundless and magnificent.

Ji Tong didn't dare to put the wooden bucket on the side of the road, so he poured out the water, and limped behind Bai Junxian with the bucket in his hand.

In front is a man who looks like a fairy, but behind him is a dirty Taoist priest, which is really ridiculous.Bai Junxian turned his head to look at him, frowned, and finally did not speak.

After all, he is a person who is about to become a fairy, so he still has some self-cultivation.Ji Tong secretly slandered, at this time he came to a place that was difficult to reach, Bai Junxian jumped up, turned around and stretched out his hand to him, wanting to give him a hand.The action is natural.

"Come!"

Ji Tong was carrying the wooden bucket, holding on to the shoulder pole, stretched out a dirty and greasy hand to look at it, and had to hang down, very embarrassed.

The corner of Bai Junxian's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Put the bucket here first, and we'll get it later."

Ji Tong put it down in response, but Bai Junxian still stretched out his hand to him.He was slightly startled, held the white and smooth hand, lightened his body, and jumped up.

I'm going to have another nightmare tonight.Ji Tong thought silently, without speaking all the way, when he came to the Wuxin Pavilion, Bai Junxian flicked his robe sleeve on the stone table in the pavilion, and suddenly several small dishes appeared out of thin air, including Babao Tofu, Dongpo Pork, and West Lake Vinegar Fish, Longjing Shrimp, Song Sao Fish Soup, Beggar Chicken, and even a pack of steaming steamed buns.Ji Tong has seen his tricks before, so it is not surprising, she said with a smile: "Is the real person here to treat you?"

"Your Excellency, please move jade here. How can we do it without food and wine?" Bai Junxian smiled slightly, as if in a trance for a moment, and said, "I also invited a friend here to watch the sunset before. Every time he brought food and wine, he would He said happily, "There are so many dishes, how can I eat them all by myself?""

Ji Tong stood aside silently.In the past, he was arrogant because of favors, thinking that Bai Junxian loved him, but now that he thought about it, it was really a joke.

"You must be hungry after picking up water for a whole day. Just eat something, I don't know what you like to eat." Bai Junxian smiled slightly, "I just want to talk to someone, and you don't need to talk."

Ji Tong was very hungry at first, but at this time he really couldn't eat any more, so he poured two cups of green tea and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it after I eat something."

Bai Junxian shook his head, paused, and said to himself: "You know, I'm now in the period of crossing the catastrophe."

"Um?"

"But I think, maybe I won't be able to survive the love calamity again." Bai Junxian sat quietly, watching the sunset glow in the distance, his voice was extremely calm, "The person I love has disappeared. I I lied to him, hurt him, and until he died, I always thought it was just a simple scam. He is such a smart person, and he knows how many people covet him as the pure yang body, and he will be deceived by me. He deserves it."

Ji Tong's hand holding the cup trembled involuntarily, the tea spilled everywhere, Bai Junxian looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong?"

He forced a smile and said, "Probably the hand is a little loose, it will be fine after a while. You can continue to talk." He put the empty cup on the table, and put his trembling hand into his sleeve.

"Later, half a year after his death, I arrived at the period of crossing the catastrophe. I thought that if I had passed the catastrophe of love and found someone to fall in love with, it would be a good get-together, but no matter who I was with, I would always think of him. Thinking of him The way I smile, the way I talk, no matter who I see, I seem to see him in front of me. Although we have only been together for three years, in the past 20 years, I have been repeatedly thinking about the scene when I was with him.

"Gradually I remembered, in fact, he was aware of it later, just waiting for me to wake up. But I didn't know it, and I still laughed at him. On the day I gave him the drug, he looked at me for a long time and smiled all the time. I wanted to ask him what he was laughing at, but when he first opened his mouth, he had already drank the glass of wine."

He smiled a little lowly, "I finally understand why a fox needs to cultivate an adult first, and why it takes hundreds of years for a fox to cultivate, but only a few decades for a human. Because many things can only be understood when you are a human being. But when I understood, it was already too late. He didn't give me another chance, and there was no chance between us. I... took most of his Yuanyang, and gave him to the subordinate Fox Clan, so that His bones will be gone, and his soul will be scattered."

Ji Tong stood up reluctantly, listening to the past again, it was like opening a wound and then sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound, it was extremely painful.He held the stone table with his hand, trembling all over, but still had a smile on his face: "It's... very tragic story, but, why did you tell me?"

Bai Junxian seemed to be aware of his unnaturalness at this moment, and was slightly taken aback: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"A little...I'm going back, let's talk about it later." He smiled apologetically, but he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Bai Junxian supported him: "Be careful."

He responded vaguely, pushed away Bai Junxian's support, and walked forward slowly.

"Did you know that my original form is a fox? Why aren't you surprised at all?" Bai Junxian said suddenly.

He kept walking, and his walking posture was still limping: "No matter what your original shape is, you have become a righteous one now, and you will ascend to a fairy in the future. Who will ask the origin of the hero?"

Bai Junxian was slightly taken aback, then sighed a little, seeing him climbing the mountain road was very difficult, so he stepped forward and grabbed his hand: "I'll see you for a ride."

He hesitated for a moment, Bai Junxian had already wrapped his arms around his waist, and rose into the clouds.
