Tao is impermanent

Chapter 40

Shangyuan City, Linglong Street.

It was dusk at this time, and the sunset glow fell on the scattered streets, making Linglong Street, where there were only a few hawkers, even more desolate.

The moment when nightlife alternates with daytime is always terribly cold.

People in the town went home from work in twos and threes, but they were attracted by two handsome men who suddenly appeared on the street.

The people stopped and discussed in whispers.

A woman with a lady's bun asked her husband-in-law, "Where did the two of them come from? Why have you never seen them in the town?"

The woman's husband was also strange, "Maybe someone from another town." He secretly looked at the two people's clothes, feeling weird.One of the two was dressed in white and had a handsome appearance, while the other was taller and dressed in black, but his figure also looked stalwart and straight.At first glance, there is a feeling of black and white impermanence.

This young husband has just married his lover, and has always liked to read some anecdotal magazines, so he has dabbled in some ghosts and monsters, but he has always read it as a comic book, just for fun, and never read it in the book. The thing about gods and demons is serious, but at this time, he is not sure.

He tugged on his wife's sleeve, and whispered: "Don't be curious, maybe they just came from Biezhen, don't keep staring at them, it's too impolite." As he spoke, he quickly pulled his wife up. palm, and left the street as if fleeing.

The charming wife was puzzled, but she also let him lead her to run.

The two people the newlyweds met were naturally the black and white impermanent couple who took the time to travel.

The two went around many places, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the north and south of the river, and finally landed near this not-so-prosperous Shangyuan City.

Shangyuan City, although it is not considered the best town in terms of its wealth or location, at most it can only be regarded as a well-being of the people, with no worries about food and clothing.But Black and White Impermanence feels that this place is very nostalgic for the two of them.

Although this place has encountered the migration of the times, the changes of mountains and rivers, and the rise and fall of the sun and the moon, it still retains its unique mountain range, just like it was the same as it was thousands of years ago. It can be recognized that this is Jinke County where they lived before their death.

This place should be full of footprints of their lives and people who care about them infinitely, but now things are different.However, the dead are gone, and so are the living.

But fortunately, the most important partner who accompanied the two of them never really abandoned each other.

Xiaobai didn't know that Hei Wuchang had recovered his memory. He passed by here, and in order to stay, he used the excuse of the beautiful scenery here, and he wanted to rest here for a while due to the exhaustion of traveling.

Hei Wuchang was also planning to rest here for a while, but because he had no excuses, he agreed repeatedly.

He secretly looked at Xiao Bai who was lying in front of him with a stiff face, and felt even more satisfied in his heart.Xiaobai lied but was caught, this kind of thing is really harder to find than a century-old smile, he knew it in his heart, but he didn't show it, which made him almost hurt internally.

Xiaobai didn't know that his little thoughts were all seen through, and he walked into Linglong Street calmly without silver 300 taels.Looking at the man in white with an outstanding posture in front of him, Hei Wuchang suppressed the smile rising in his heart, and forcibly suppressed the smile that was almost overflowing from his mouth.

He didn't forget that Xiaobai was a very arrogant guy, if he found out, he would definitely have trouble for a few more days and ignore him for a few days.Moreover, he didn't want Xiaobai to find out that he had already recovered his memory.

He obediently caught up with Xiao Bai, who had already walked several steps, and walked into this extremely desolate Linglong Street side by side.

The people or vendors on Linglong Street are curious about the two outsiders, and they can't help but look at them, even though they have concealed their curiosity a little, but for Black and White Impermanence, this kind of concealment is not necessary for them. It doesn't work, they can see clearly every movement in their eyes.

They didn't care either, turning a blind eye to their inquiry.

The people on Linglong Street probably felt that they had nothing special about them other than being handsome and outstanding, so they started to do their own things again, closing down stalls, and rushing back home.

Night gradually shrouded down.

The street is getting more and more depressed, but either today's business is not good, or the daily sales standard is not met, there are still some hawkers who are trying their best to attract pedestrians who are rushing home.

In particular, the voice of a peddler was particularly loud. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong figure. He stood in the middle of Linglong Street in a linen coat, and shouted desperately to the surroundings: "The white foxes hunted today only cost ten taels!"

Heiheiwuchang paused, cast his eyes on the stout man, and then looked around him. As expected, there were several baskets of cages made of bamboo and rattan that were tightly covered and airtight, covering him by the side of the street. Some birds and beasts live, their way is blocked, and their freedom is restricted.In addition, there are still some baskets that have been emptied, and there are not many birds and animals left here and there, roughly half of them have been emptied.And among the less than half of the unsold birds and beasts, the most conspicuous one was the dying and sickly white fox in the basket in the middle.

The whole body of this white fox is snow-white, its eyes are half-closed and its eyes are half-closed, its pointed fox ears are drooping, and even the six tentacles next to its sharp beak are lifeless.It fell on the ground with its front feet, its limp head drooping on it, whimpering and crying.

On the other hand, its hind feet stretched out a large, glaring gash, stretching from its heel to its rear hip, and the gurgling blood still oozes out through the scabbed shell, making the fur of its hind legs Very messy and smelly.You can understand how serious the injury is without looking carefully, and you can also deduce that it is not convenient to move at the moment.

It seems to feel that someone is looking at it, and it wants to open its eyes with a little vigilance, but it can only slightly open a small incision.The turbulent water waves in the eyes are like the deep sea, attracting black and white impermanent eyes.

Xiao Bai paced up to the white fox.The white fox supported his frail body, showing his sharp teeth, and glared at Xiao Bai fiercely in embarrassment, but his body was weak, but after holding on for a while, he fell heavily.

Reluctantly, it opened its slightly slanted fox eyes wide, and the clear eyes were full of despair.

The Orion noticed the movement here, and hurried over and said, "Guest officer, do you want to buy this white fox home? It's only ten taels of silver. I've already sold it cheaply. If the white fox hadn't been injured, I wouldn't sell it for such a cheap price."

Hei Wuchang could see that this white fox was unusual, ordinary white foxes were just creatures, but this white fox already possessed the spirit of immortality, it was a demon fox of the Gushu clan, who had lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for generations, never set foot in the human world, and even more so. Needless to say, he was caught by an ordinary hunter.

Heiwuchang said coldly: "You really caught this white fox?"

Orion should have been angry, but for some reason, he was terrified of the man in front of him, and his head was dripping with cold sweat, so he had to tell the truth.

"Guest guest is really amazing. I really didn't catch this white fox." He scratched his head, not knowing where to start. "Let's put it this way, yesterday, I went hunting in the mountains as usual, but I accidentally found this white fox secretly hiding in a tree hole. I was overjoyed and brought it back. After all, the market for white foxes is very good. .”

He frowned again, shook his head, and said unhappily: "Who knows, this white fox has been injured, and it is not worth the original price at all, so the merchants who came to the town to buy the white fox are not willing to spend money to buy it. I had no choice but to come to the market to sell and see if anyone in this town bought it." He frowned, "As a result, the guest officer also saw it, and no one bought it at all."

Hei Wuchang frowned, but saw Xiao Bai squatting down and stroking the white fox's fur, the vigilant white fox had let go of his guard.

The man was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Guest officer, it seems that your friend is very destined to be with this white fox, why don't you take it home. It doesn't cost ten taels of silver, how about I count you eight taels?"

Seeing that Heiwuchang remained calm, the man immediately muttered: "It really can't be any cheaper, the price of this white fox should be worth a hundred taels."

Xiaobai released the white fox from the basket, gently hugged it into his arms, stroked the white fox's snow-soaked hair lightly, and didn't dislike the dirty blood on the heel of its hind feet at all. dirty.

The white fox narrowed its eyes and seemed to be enjoying it very much. While stroking the hair on its head gently, Xiao Bai said to Hei Wuchang: "Xiao Hei, buy it."

When Hei Wuchang heard this, he took out eight pieces of silver from his pocket, handed it to the strong hunter, and said, "We bought this white fox."

Orion was overjoyed, and quickly weighed the silver tael in his hand before putting it into his underwear pocket. While tidying up the baskets by the street, he said, "This white fox is also destined to be with you." , I can finally go home with peace of mind."

He packed everything up, and walked towards the end of Linglong Street with baskets of various sizes on his back.

Hei Wuchang then came to Xiaobai's side and asked, "Why did you buy this white fox? Could it be that you are planning to release it?" He really couldn't understand that they had been black and white for so many years, and Xiaobai had never intervened in the world The life and death of all things, the reincarnation of heaven is the destiny, which cannot be changed.

Of course, impermanence is different, because black and white impermanence no longer belongs to the way of heaven, but a very special existence. They wander among immortals, demons, demons, and humans, playing the role of a central person, dealing with All life and death recorded in the book of life and death.

Therefore, when Xiaobai desperately wanted to save himself, even though he knew that it was because he did not destroy Xiaobai's principles, he still felt that he was special, but now, he felt that his own The privilege seems to have been taken away by this silly fox?

Therefore, his heart is particularly complicated.

Xiao Bai touched the white fox's head, and the white fox closed its eyes lazily and sleepily, obviously trusting the man in white who was holding it in his arms.

"This white fox is the youngest son of the head of the fox clan of the Gushu clan. It is recorded in the book of life and death that it will have a lifespan of tens of millions of years. It is absolutely impossible for it to be captured by the hunters now." Xiaobai explained lightly.

Heiwuchang stared at the white fox sleeping soundly in Xiaobai's arms with an inexplicable expression, and felt even more sad and indignant.

Xiao Bai said instead: "Let's find a place to heal its wounds first, and then send it back to the Fox Clan."

Hei Wuchang gritted his teeth and nodded, not daring to raise any objections.Who told him to maintain a good image in front of Xiao Bai?

Although, in fact, when he was young in this life, his image had already changed beyond recognition in front of Xiao Bai.
