In that distant little black house

Yu Fen's friend who is proficient in fortune-telling once did a fortune-telling for him.After the hexagram was solved, he said that Yu Fen had a death kalpa in his life, and if he passed it, he would have a thoroughfare, if he couldn't pass it, he would die.

When Yu Fen told Zhang Jingmo about this, he took it as a joke. He said that he has no obsession with anything in his life, and even death is not terrible to him, so he didn't make this hexagram Take it to heart.

Until the demons invaded, the forbidden area was broken.

For more than 120 lifetimes, Zhang Jingmo also tried to enter the forbidden area before the demons invaded, but he was cautious every time, unlike Lu Guijiu who was so reckless that he broke the prohibition of the forbidden area within a few times.

Because of this, Yu Fen and the white fox almost always met when the demons invaded.

Is the white fox a demon, or a big one.He has nine tails and can transform into shapes. After meeting Yu Fen in the first life, the two fell in love with each other.

At this time, the demons invaded and the world was in chaos. For a while, he didn't care who Yu Fen was in love with.The two of them had indeed had some good days—until the white fox Yu Fen brought him into the Demon Realm.

In the first life, Zhang Jingmo was in such a state of embarrassment that he didn't even know when Yu Fen left. After many years, when he heard the news about Yu Fen, what he heard was the news of his death.

Rumor has it that Yu Fen died in such a tragic way. Not only did his bones disappear, but his soul disappeared. The white fox absorbed his golden core, gathered up the last tail, and finally gave birth to a baby, becoming a generation of demon emperor.

At that time, Zhang Jingmo was unable to take care of other people's affairs, and even when he heard the news, his expression was numb. Lu Guijiu asked him how he felt, and Zhang Jingmo said, "I can't even take care of myself. How dare I think about it?" other people?"

Later, Zhang Jingmo was reborn, and also tried to change the fate of Tai Fen.

But what made him very helpless was that no matter how well he took care of Yu Fen, as long as he left Yu Fen's side for more than a hundred years after the demons invaded, and then returned to the sect, he would definitely see the white fox appearing beside him.

Zhang Jingmo even killed the white fox with his own hands, but what made him very helpless was that within a year after he killed the white fox, Yu Fen would die for various strange reasons—the most let Zhang Jingmo The most unbearable life was when Yu Fen was accidentally stung by a bee monster, and died suddenly that night.

This happened a few times, and after that, Zhang Jingmo didn't dare to kill Baihu again.He didn't kill the white fox, but he also thought about imprisoning the white fox. However, the white fox is a nine-tailed demon fox after all. Even if Zhang Jingmo is a Nascent Soul cultivator, he can lock him up at most, but he can't stop him from self-mutilation.

But every time Zhang Jingmo locked up the white fox, the white fox would definitely die in the cage within a hundred years, followed by Yu Fen's death...

Zhang Jingmo tried it dozens of times, and he was really scared. He was afraid of seeing Yu Fen's death again, and he was afraid that he would indirectly kill his friend again.

Therefore, in the past few lifetimes before Zhang Jingmo decided to accept Lu Guijiu as his disciple, he never made friends with Yu Fen again, and he didn't even want to hear about Yu Fen anymore.

In Yu Fen's body, Zhang Jingmo really felt what is meant by a destiny that cannot be violated.

Before Zhang Jingmo saw Yu Fen's early breakthrough, he thought that there was a turning point in this matter, but what he never expected was that he actually saw the white fox at an impossible time.

When Zhang Jingmo saw the white fox, he was struck by lightning, and he couldn't even control his emotions for a while.

After returning to the mansion with the trembling white fox in his arms, Zhang Jingmo calmed down.

Zhang Jingmo had only seen the prototype of this white fox once, but because there was a black plum blossom-like pattern on the forehead of this white fox, after seeing it once, it was deeply imprinted in his mind.

At this time, the white fox didn't have nine tails yet, it was just a little medicine that couldn't be transformed into shape. He was hugged by Zhang Jingmo, but he didn't dare to call out, his eyes showed a pitiful look.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingmo showed sarcasm, he remembered the demeanor of this big monster back then, every time he wanted to kill him, Zhang Jingmo had to spend a lot of effort, and even occasionally turned against Yu Fen.

I've never seen it look so weak.

When Zhang Jingmo arrived at the mansion, he casually threw the white fox to the ground.

Knowing that he couldn't escape, the white fox shrank into a ball and shivered, its fluffy tail covering half of its body.

When Lu Guijiu came in from outside the house, he saw such a scene.

Zhang Jingmo sat on the chair with a frosty expression. In front of him lay a furry fox. The fox had white skin and black eyes, and black hair like plum blossoms between its eyebrows.

Lu Guijiu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Master, what is this?"

Zhang Jingmo did not answer Lu Guijiu's question, but asked in a cold voice: "Gujiu, tell me, if you don't want your friend to be with a demon, what should you do?"

Lu Guijiu blinked and looked at the fox on the ground: "Male and female?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "It's public."

Lu Guijiu smiled and said: "Isn't it easy to be a male? It will be fine if you get castrated!"

When the white fox heard the word castrate, he felt a dull pain in a certain part of himself.

Zhang Jingmo had never thought of this solution. He pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Not bad! You can try it!"

White Fox: "...qaq" No.

Seeing the white fox shrinking even tighter silently, Zhang Jingmo said coldly, "What are you shrinking, do you think you are a turtle?"

The white fox's eyes were filled with tears in an instant, and he began to cry.

Zhang Jingmo felt upset when he heard his crying, he said angrily: "Why are you crying? If you cry any more, you will be castrated."

The white fox quickly fell silent.

Zhang Jingmo narrowed his eyes, looked at the white fox for a long time, and suddenly said: "Guijiu, go to my alchemy room, and bring the black bottle from the top shelf in the alchemy room."

Lu Guijiu said hello, and went out, and brought what Zhang Jingmo wanted after a while.

Zhang Jingmo took the bottle, took out a pill from the bottle, threw it on the ground, and said coldly to Baihu, "Either eat it, or die."

The white fox hesitated for a moment, as if evaluating the use of the pill.But Zhang Jingmo's indifferent gaze told him - if he didn't eat today, he probably really couldn't live.

The white fox sighed slightly, but made a strong note of Zhang Jingmo in his heart, then reluctantly stretched out his tongue to lick the pill that fell on the ground, and swallowed it into his stomach.

After taking the pill, the white fox felt a chill in his stomach...

Zhang Jingmo said: "It's not some kind of poison. When the time comes, you will know what the medicine is good for." He couldn't take the fox away from Yu Fen for too long, otherwise, if the fox couldn't think about committing suicide one day, Yu Fen would be Totally hopeless.

Zhang Jingmo called Qingfeng over and asked him to send the fox back to Yu Fen.

When Baihu heard that he was going to be sent back, he was naturally extremely happy. He was picked up by Qingfeng obediently, and they left the house together.

Lu Guijiu was very curious, he said: "Master, what kind of medicine did you give this fox?"

Zhang Jingmo said coldly: "The medicine that makes him hard to get hard."

Lu Guijiu: "..." For some reason, he also felt a chill down his back.

Zhang Jingmo said with a sneer, "I want to see what kind of moths can come out if I can't transform into shape or harden."

Lu Guijiu couldn't fully understand what Zhang Jingmo meant, but he also guessed a thing or two. He swallowed carefully, and for some reason felt as if he saw his own future.

Fortunately, the coldness on Zhang Jingmo's face softened after seeing Lu Guijiu, and he said, "Is everything ready?"

Lu Guijiu nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Then let's set off in three days."

In the past hundred years, Lu Guijiu's cultivation base has almost improved, and after a period of accumulation, he can prepare for the alchemy.

For the next trip, Zhang Jingmo first wanted to find the elixir for Lu Guijiu's will and soul, and second, he wanted to find some medicinal materials and come back to make alchemy.

Lu Guijiu nodded in yes, and retreated.

When Qingfeng sent the white fox back to Yu Fen, Yu Fen was very surprised, and then came to ask Zhang Jingmo why he sent it back to him.

Zhang Jingmo said blankly: "A gentleman does not take what others like."

Yu Fen smiled dryly: "Qingyuan, are you angry?"

Zhang Jingmo shook his head: "I'm not angry, but after three days, I will leave with Lu Guijiu."

Yu Fen said: "You have only been back for a short time, why are you leaving again?"

Zhang Jingmo said lightly: "I don't want to leave either." If Lu Guijiu's soul hadn't been injured, he could have stayed in Lingxu Sect for a while longer, but because of this accident, Zhang Jingmo had to advance his schedule.

Moreover, Tianlu of Kuchan Valley should be out of customs in the near future. If he comes out, I am afraid that Zhang Jingmo will not be able to leave.

Yu Fen knew that Zhang Jingmo's mind had been made up, so he stopped persuading him, but told him to pay attention to safety and not to force anything.

Zhang Jingmo listened to Yu Fen's instructions, but said with a smile: "You don't need to worry about my affairs, but you are yourself...you have to think about it."

Yu Fen listened ignorantly, not knowing what Zhang Jingmo said.

After that, Zhang Jingmo explained some things to Wu Curao, saying that he might take Lu Guijiu out for a period of time, so that Wu Curao should not be restrained in the house.

Wu Curyao didn't ask Zhang Jingmo where he was going, but told him to be careful.

After preparing these things, Zhang Jingmo took out the Yinmo Cave the night before he left, and Ao Mian appeared in a form. When he saw the surrounding scenery, he knew that he had left the illusion.

Zhang Jingmo said: "In a few days, I will go to look for the god-gathering tree. I will work hard for seniors, and I will have a few days in the Yin Demon Den."

Ao Mian nodded.

Zhang Jingmo said: "How is the man and woman in the Yin Mo cave now?"

Ao Mian said coldly: "Alive."

Zhang Jingmo said: "They are still useful for the time being, please leave their souls behind."

Ao Mian said: "Try your best."

After he finished speaking, he turned into a plume of black smoke and escaped into the Yin Demon Cave—from the beginning to the end, Ao Mian trusted Zhang Jingmo very much, and he didn't seem to have any doubt that Zhang Jingmo would be against him.

Zhang Jingmo also lived up to Ao Mian's entrustment. He dared to assert that there are people in the world who can find Jushenmu, and he can be counted on one hand, and he is one of them.

The next day, it was still a snowy day, Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu went out of the mountain gate together, and went to the distance.

Wu Curiyao and Yu Fen saw them off at the mountain gate, and when they saw them walking away, they went back to the house together.

Lu Guijiu didn't know where he was going this trip, but just followed behind Zhang Jingmo.

At this time, the sky and the earth were covered with a vast expanse of white snow, and Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu walked through it, looking extraordinarily small.

Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu had been walking for five days, until they completely left the country where the Lingxu faction was located, before stopping to prepare for a day's rest.

At this time in the secular world, several countries are fighting in chaos, wars are raging everywhere, and the people are in dire straits.

Zhang Jingmo still changed his appearance, making it less conspicuous, and Lu Guijiu also turned into an ordinary-looking big man, following behind Zhang Jingmo.

Because of the war and business failure, there were hardly any customers in the restaurant Zhang Jingmo stayed in, which was in stark contrast to the last time he entered the mundane world.

The waiter in the restaurant was also very slack, asking Zhang Jingmo what he wanted.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Here's hot wine, two catties of beef, and a pile of beans."

Xiao Er wrote down the recipe, turned around and went down.

The food arrived quickly, but the wine was a bit shoddy and the meat was not fresh.Zhang Jingmo was not picky at all, and started pouring wine for him and Lu Guijiu, took out a few copper coins, handed them to Xiao Er, and said, "Tell me something new."

These few copper coins belonged to Xiao Er for a month, and now there are no guests, so he would be happy to say something to Zhang Jingmo.

So Xiaoer talked about the recent war vividly from the side. When he talked about the defeat of Zhao Guo, Zhang Jingmo tapped the table with his fingers, and he said, "When did this happen?"

The little boy said: "Being defeated in the war is a matter of more than ten years old, but the destruction of the country is a recent matter."

After Zhang Jingmo heard this, he took a sip of wine and said he knew.

Lu Guijiu said: "Zhao Guo has an old friend of Master?"

Zhang Jingmo said lightly: "It's sort of."

Lu Guijiu had always felt that he knew very little about Zhang Jingmo, and now this feeling became more and more intense.Zhang Jingmo seems to know everything about everything, he even feels that there is nothing in the world that Zhang Jingmo doesn't know.

Xiaoer saw that Zhang Jingmo was more interested in Zhao Guo, so he told some interesting things about Zhao Guo.

Zhang Jingmo was drinking while listening, but suddenly said: "Why don't we go to Zhao Guo to see?"

Lu Guijiu said: "All listen to Master."

Zhang Jingmo said: "After so many years, you don't want to go home and have a look?"

Lu Guijiu's expression froze.

Now that he has entered the path of cultivating immortals, he has to draw a line with the world. For Zhang Jingmolu Guijiu, a hundred years is just a snap of his fingers, but for ordinary people, it is a sea of ​​vicissitudes.

Don't think about it, Lu Guijiu's father and elder brother are definitely dead, but I don't know what the rest of the Lu family are like.

Seeing the hesitant look on Lu Guijiu's face, Zhang Jingmo smiled lightly, and said, "If you want to see it, then go back and have a look, it's considered an end of mind."

Lu Guijiu finally said hello.Because he has memories since he was a child, he is actually a person who is more attached to his family. After joining the sect at the age of four, he did not forget his father and elder brother. It was not until the foundation was established at the age of [-] that his longing for home faded away.

Zhang Jingmo also knew that Lu Guijiu was in love with the family, that's why he asked such a question, besides, a visit to Lu's house would not waste much time.

The location of the Lu family was exactly the opposite of that of the Zhao country. After the two of them made up their schedule, they rested in a restaurant for one night, and then set off on the road again the next day.

For 200 years, everything in the world has been reincarnated.

When Lu Guijiu stepped on the street that he had only walked for an hour again, he still couldn't help but feel strange.

The buildings on the street have changed a lot, but there are still vendors selling candied haws on the street.

Lu Guijiu stared at the candied haws for a long time, Zhang Jingmo asked lightly, "Want to eat?"

Lu Guijiu smiled and hummed: "I kind of forgot the taste of this sugar skewer."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingmo took out two copper coins, bought two bunches of candied haws, and handed them to Lu Guijiu: "Eat it, I don't know when it will be next time."

Maybe a hundred years later, maybe a thousand years later.

Lu Guijiu took a bunch, held it in his mouth, and gently bit it open. The candied haws had a sweet coating and slightly sour flesh, which was very delicious, but the taste was a little different from the one Lu Guijiu remembered.

Zhang Jingmo vaguely remembered the direction of Lu's house, he also pinched a candied haws in his hand, put it in his mouth to open one, and chewed slowly.

Seeing that Zhang Jingmo also ate it, Lu Guijiu was a little curious: "Master also likes this?"

Zhang Jingmo glanced at Lu Guijiu, and said slowly, "I haven't eaten for a long time, let's try something new."

Lu Guijiu narrowed his eyes with a smile, his current appearance is not as handsome and dazzling as his original appearance, but in Zhang Jingmo's eyes, he is inexplicably more pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Jingmo ate another one as he walked forward. The two of them turned around the alley and walked a few steps to the location of Lu's residence.

There was uncontrollable excitement in Lu Guijiu's eyes, and his steps behind Zhang Jingmo also picked up speed.

However, as great as the hope is, so is the disappointment. When the two walked through the alley and saw the dilapidated mansion in front of them, Lu Guijiu froze in place.

I saw that although the Lu residence was there, the gate was dilapidated, the lock seemed to be rusted, and the eaves were covered with dust and cobwebs.

Lu Guijiu looked a bit dazed, and he said, "Master, did we go to the wrong place?"

Zhang Jingmo pursed his lips, but did not speak.

Lu Guijiu went forward and knocked on the door of Lu Mansion, after a few thuds, there was no response as expected, he turned his head to look at the stone lion at the gate of Lu Mansion, and said: "Master, this is really my house. "

Zhang Jingmo said: "People have misfortunes and fortunes, these are fate, don't take it too seriously." He actually didn't know how to comfort Lu Guijiu.

Lu Guijiu was silent for a moment, and with a slight force on his hand, he pushed open the door of Lu Mansion abruptly. He said, "I still want to go in and have a look."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Let's go, I will accompany you."

With that said, he entered Lu's mansion together with Lu Guijiu.

Sure enough, they found the right place. After Lu Guijiu saw the well in the courtyard, he knew that this was his home. Back then, he liked playing by the well, but his father was afraid that something would happen to him, so he called People put a net on the well.

The mansion is lush with vegetation, obviously it has been deserted for a long time. Lu Guijiu came back here for the last time when he was only six years old. It has been more than [-] years, but he still clearly remembers every person in the mansion. corner.

Lu Guijiu's elder brother and father must have passed away long ago, and the Lu Mansion is so desolate, it must have been lost for a long time.

Lu Guijiu asked suddenly: "Master, is your family also cultivating immortals?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "My family members are all mortals."

Lu Guijiu said: "Then why are you willing to watch them die?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "Why can't you bear it? Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and for ordinary people, dying of old age should be the happiest way to leave this world."

Lu Guijiu sighed, "I'm not as open-minded as Master."

Zhang Jingmo smiled wryly in his heart when he heard the words, his open-mindedness was really forced out.

Lu Guijiu kicked the weeds on the side of the road, and said in a low voice: "I thought that when I came back this time, I could see the prosperity of the Lu family."

Hearing Lu Guijiu's words, Zhang Jingmo suddenly remembered something, he frowned, and was about to say something, but he heard the noise coming from the door, Lu Guijiu and Zhang Jingmo looked towards the noise , but saw a few officers and soldiers walking towards them from the door, shouting in their mouths: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into Lu's house! Don't you want to kill yourself!"

Zhang Jingmo frowned: "It seems that things are not as we thought."

After he finished speaking, a figure who looked like a housekeeper walked out behind the officers and soldiers. The man was in his 60s, but he was in good spirits. He opened his mouth and cursed at Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu: "How dare you two break the lock, Entering without authorization is also a life-threatening thing? Come on, tie them both up for me!"

Lu Guijiu frowned and said, "Who are you?"

The butler said, "You don't even know who we are, so you dare to barge in? But do you know that if you let General Lu know what you've done, you will have to be skinned?!" He waved his hand , the officers and soldiers standing behind them walked over to Lu Guijiu and Zhang Jingmo.

Only then did Zhang Jingmo show a smile that was not a smile, and he said: "Lu Guijiu, it seems that this matter is not what we imagined."

Lu Guijiu still frowned: "Master, what's going on?"

Zhang Jingmo said lightly: "Do you still remember the talisman that I left to the Lu family when I left?"

Lu Guijiu's eyes lit up.

Zhang Jingmo said: "For a hundred years, I haven't felt the call of that talisman. Come to think of it... your Lu family is doing well."

I just don't know why the main house was abandoned for so long.
