Zhongnanshan

Winter in Zhongnan Mountain always comes very early, Bai Yu put on a crimson padded jacket, which made his skin like snow, and because his face was opened a little, he looked even more handsome, which made the girls among the disciples blush when they saw it. With a straight face, Bai Jiu didn't take it seriously, and went to the restaurant to listen to stories as usual.

After a few more visits, Bai Jiu learned to be good, no longer leaning against the pillars, and found a table where he could hear the storyteller's voice, and just sat there with his body hidden. , Bai Jiu followed the Gucheng's order not to allow him to conflict with humans, and moved away from his position to find another place.

Today, I don’t know what the storyteller was talking about. The crowd was so crowded in the restaurant that it couldn’t get through. Bai Yu looked at the vacant space, and there was only one private seat on the second floor. , but for the sensitive ear Bai Ji, it was a piece of cake, he turned over and got into the private seat, seeing that there was no one waiting for him, showing his human shape, poured a cup of tea and tapped on the table to listen.

After the storyteller finished telling the continuation of yesterday's story, he drank a cup of tea, cleared his throat, surrounded the excited crowd, and stroked his bearded chin.

"This time, let's tell the story about the broken sleeve."

He heard Bai Yu spouting tea in the room with a puff. He never thought that the world would be so calm towards this broken sleeve. Couple, their choice of Taoist couple is more about cultivation than gender.

He is not picky about the story, as long as the storyteller tells it, he will listen to it, but this time the storyteller's story is boring and lacks new ideas, so he dozed off while resting his forehead.

Bai Yu's sleeping mind crashed into something, something he had never experienced before, real but vague, he was like a passerby, watching those things happen, but feeling those real emotions like the person involved .

It was night, the streets and alleys were full of fiery trees and silver flowers, the market was bustling with people, and the sound of selling lanterns kept coming and going, all kinds of lanterns made the market as bright as day, and the lantern festival was very lively.

The corner of Bai Jiu's mouth smiled lightly, and he actually dreamed of the Lantern Festival in the world. Since it was a dream, he opened up his disguise, strided among the crowd, and looked at the small stalls decorated with lights.

In a trance, someone passed by his side and walked quickly, wanting to go somewhere in a hurry, but Bai Yu was knocked aside, he brushed away the non-existent dust on his body, looked up at the tall figure, unexpectedly Feeling familiar, he put down the lantern in his hand and chased after it involuntarily.

"Sorry, I'm late." He followed the man for a long time, and the man finally stopped at the stall at the end of the street. He finally had the opportunity to go around to check the man's true face. When he saw someone's face, Bai Jiu couldn't help but startled all over. The man was wearing a green robe and a handsome expressionless face, which suddenly fell into Bai Jiu's eyes.With a straight and slender figure like a benchmark, a healthy wheat-colored complexion, ink-like eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin but tight lips, and a face with sharp edges and corners, he is actually an isolated city.

"It's okay." A man in white was already waiting at the booth where Gu Cheng was standing. When Bai Yu turned his head to look at the man in white, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He saw that the man was extremely handsome, with lowered eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and his smile was a bit of a romantic boy. Her chin is raised slightly, and the moles at the end of her eyes also look extremely charming.

"I forgot the time for my evening class. I'm really sorry for making you wait so long." Gu Cheng apologized with his head down, and the man took Gu Cheng's hand indifferently.

"It's good that you come, I'm very happy."

Like a transparent person, Bai Jiu followed the two of them in this bustling market, seeing the intimate movements of Gucheng and the man, Bai Jiu felt uncomfortable in his heart, why did he have this dream, and who is this man .

The scene change caught Bai Jiu off guard, he hurriedly wanted to chase the two people who were drifting away in the market, those scenes slowly disappeared from his sight, leaving only darkness.

Above the magnificent hall, the people in white are no longer as gentle and amiable as those in the street market, their faces are extremely cold, Bai Yu couldn't help but give a cold thought.

"I just want your inner alchemy." The man in white raised his chin arrogantly, obviously making a request, but it seemed like a handout from above.

"Fox King save me, I don't hesitate to use the inner alchemy." The man kneeling in the hall lowered his head and bit his lower lip. When the inner alchemy left his body, the man's strong body gradually shrank. Muscles loosened like an old man, he slightly raised his head and looked up at the tall man in white. Bai Yu could see the man's face clearly, it was an isolated city.

Bai Jiu was still in shock from the changes in the dream, the surroundings had become pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers.

Suddenly, dozens of purple lightning bolts appeared in the dark sky and rolled in the clouds. The purple light from the lightning almost illuminated the entire darkness. Bai Yu was suddenly blown aside by the strong wind, and the lightning also followed his movement, splitting down.

Just when Bai Jiu thought he would be struck by the lightning, he saw a person standing in front of him, holding a light sword, his back standing still, waiting for the thunder to fall, he heard his own voice roaring, go away.

Lightning fell one after another, striking the person standing in front of him, and the scattered halo made Bai Jiu faint.

In a trance, the purple thunder seemed to gradually weaken, and for a while, it disappeared into the clouds and disappeared. As the thunderclouds disappeared, the bright moonlight appeared again, the wind also stopped, and the surroundings began to become silent.

He lay powerlessly on the ground and listened to the sound carefully, but it was like a dream.

and after?Bai Jiu was looking for the answer, but he couldn't find the figure of the man.

"Young Master? Young Master?" Bai Jiu was awakened by someone shaking him awake. He opened his eyes weakly and slowly. The person in front of him was only a dark shadow, but he didn't see his face. The voice was irritated. He rolled his eyes and fell into a coma again.

"I have practiced alone for thousands of years, and the nine tails have already emerged, and I have only succeeded in crossing the tribulation." The man in white kneaded the armrest on the throne, and his stool turned into powder.

Gucheng lay on the ground without raising his head. "I would like to water the snow lotus with blood to make it bloom and make up for the Fox King's cultivation."

"Good, good, good!"

"Not good!" Bai Yu got up angrily, and threw the quilt covering his body on the ground, his face was full of gloom.

"What's the matter?" The people next to him were startled by Bai Jiu's sudden move. Bai Jiu looked down and found that he had already returned to Zhongnan Mountain. This was Lan Yuan, one of the disciples under the Gucheng Gate.

"Sister Lan..." Bai Jiu threw herself into Lan Yuan's arms and began to cry. Even when Bai Jiu was practicing, she had never lost her composure. Lan Yuan was so frightened that she quickly stroked Bai Jiu's protruding animal ears to comfort her. . "Xiao Kui, it's just a nightmare. Be good, don't cry..."

"Sister Lan... Where's the owner of the mountain?" Bai Jiu recalled the tragedy of Gucheng in his dream, and suddenly wanted to see Gucheng himself, and wanted to see that he was safe and sound.

"Master Qi Yi is here, they are on the top of the mountain."

Bai Jiu left Lan Yuan's embrace and wiped away tears, looking at the messed up quilt with red eyes. "Why am I here?"

"Oh, my little girl, it's fine if you go to the mortal world to play, but you should also pay attention to the fact that you are going to grow a tail recently. Fortunately, Master Qi Yi saved your life, otherwise you wake up now, it is probably a Taoist elixir It’s in the furnace.” Lan Yuan shook her head, it turned out that Bai Jiu had to grow a tail recently, and it was difficult to maintain her figure, and she was still comatose in the bustling inn. Bai Jiu was handed over to the gymnasium in the city, and Qi Yi happened to pass by, so he was able to let Bai Jiu escape.

"Forget it, forget it. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed. Sister Lan will cook you some sweet soup to warm up your body and celebrate your six-tailed growth." Lan Yuan got up and patted Bai Jiu's forehead, walking lightly left the room.

"Six tails?" Bai Jiu tilted his head, didn't he just grow a fourth tail, why did he have six tails, turned into a prototype, looked at the six tails swaying behind his buttocks and fell into thought.

He thought of the man in white in his dream, and became suspicious, Gucheng, wasn't he a couple with Qi Yi?Who is that white-clothed man called the Fox King?

"I haven't seen you go down the mountain for the past few days, but what happened to you?" Gucheng saw Bai Jiu obediently watering the snow lotus, and heard a few close friends at the door say that Bai Jiu hadn't left the backyard for many days, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"It's nothing..." Thinking of that dream, Bai Jiu became extremely angry. He had never seen such a brazen person in the world, and he was from his fox clan. who is it.

"Yeah." Gu Cheng didn't force himself, and sat by the pool. "There is no need to irrigate so much fairy dew. Saussurea, it takes 500 years to bud and 500 years to bloom. You still have to wait."

"Then why does the mountain lord come to water frequently?" Bai Jiu tilted his head and looked towards the lonely city.

"It's useful." Gucheng lowered his eyes, looking at the snow lotus buds that were about to bloom. "Before every immortal ascends, he will go through a tribulation. After failure, Xuelian can restore the lost cultivation."

"Shanzhu, will the tribulation be a failure?" Bai Yu didn't understand. He only had a mere 200 years of cultivation. up.

"Yes." Gucheng raised his head and looked at the snow falling all over the mountain, and said softly. "In a few days, Qi Yi will cross the catastrophe."

Bai Jiu recalled the intermittent fragments in the dream.

"I would like to water the snow lotus with blood to make it bloom and make up for the Fox King's cultivation."

"The mountain master, if Qi Yi fails in the catastrophe, will you water the snow lotus with blood for him?" When Bai Jiu asked this question, there was an inexplicable pain in his heart, but he didn't understand this feeling. Holding his chest, trying to relieve the pain, he heard Gucheng speak again.

"Yes." Gucheng just looked at the falling snow, and his eyes turned to Baijiu vaguely. "Qi Yi was able to overcome the tribulation thousands of years ago. In order to save me, he has cultivated to me for a thousand years. If he fails to overcome the tribulation, I am willing to pour blood on snow lotus for him to restore his cultivation."
