To the eternal you

After the girl fell asleep, the room with the closed windows and doors fell into silence.

But there was a slight rustling sound on the roof, as if some animal stepped on the thatched roof tiles, Wu Baizang dispelled the magic spell of protecting himself, and the rain splashed on his body.

The soft fur was soaked, and the enthusiasm was also extinguished.

It sat there in a trance, still being hit by the wind and rain, and the pattering rain shrouded the whole Kontian Village in a desolate rain curtain.

The withered flowers and leaves drifted with the wind, drifting endlessly.

"Free flying flowers are as light as a dream, and the boundless silk rain is as fine as sorrow."

It remembered the verse that the stinky fox had recited before, but the poetic meaning was not in line with the present, but it didn't matter, who made it only know such a sentence.

The things you miss don’t necessarily have to match the meaning, sometimes they are just familiar, as if you have pulled yourself back to the time when you used to fight with her carefree.

It still remembers that when he had just achieved success in cultivation at that time, he lost his mind to find her to fight, but it happened to be a very rare rainstorm day, and there seemed to be crows screaming in the forest.

The sky roared with thunder, and from a place it had never been before, there came a thunderous aura that frightened all monsters. The lightning almost split the sky into two halves, and even the ground and rivers seemed to shake uncomfortably.

Wu Baizang was also shocked by that great power, and suddenly changed back to the original, a little demon raccoon that was no different from other little demon raccoons.

It was shivering and hid under the pile of leaves. It had no thoughts of fighting in its mind, and only hoped to get through this bad day soon.

But the stinky fox found him, wearing a misty white robe, with a tail swaying behind him, holding a paper umbrella.

The furious thunder that it was afraid of originally seemed to be less terrifying. Hu Zhai Palace's not broad and slender shoulders stood in front of it, as if covering all wind and rain.

"I found you~"

Weird, right?

Obviously such a horrible thing happened just now, it seems like a demon god has fallen, why are you still smiling so gently.

But even it could tell that the stinky fox was... so sad under the smile.

Wu Baizang felt for the first time that she was a very contradictory person.

In its view, it laughs when it is happy, and wails when it is sad.

But she suppressed her sadness as if to comfort herself, and smiled as usual.

The stinky fox took it to a shrine, looked at the rain outside the window and wrote such a poem, while he said some jokes out of place, and some doggerel he heard from playing around in the mortal world.

Although, it is also thinking in its heart, what is the scenery seen by her sad eyes?

Hu Zhai Palace is often full of love, peace, or some elegant poems and haikus about flowers, birds, love and moon, and is doing what it wants to make tomorrow better.

Because she has spiritual power, which is power, that most monsters don't have.

But she has never been proud of this strength and blood, just like a butterfly fluttering in the flowers, she is very close to everyone, and there seems to be a layer of estrangement with everyone.

Has there ever been someone who could truly understand her?

It is not clear, it just wants to stand on an equal footing with her, so it frequently fights with her, learns from each other, looks for breakthrough opportunities, and cheers for every rare victory.

Because I want to be like Huzhai Palace one day, with strength and calmness.

In the end, let her laugh and cry as much as she wants, and at that time, I should see the same scenery as her, so at least next time...

It will no longer be like before, where you can only make her happy with some lame jokes and doggerel clumsily, but ask the stinky fox dignifiedly.

No, it should be, our most important friend, Hu Zhai Gong, if you have anything to say, just say it!Wubaizang-sama will definitely help you finish it well!Just bite your handkerchief and cheer behind us!

Now that the years have passed, it didn't expect that it could still remember two of them.

"Smelly fox..."

It looked at the well, and gradually knew the answer to something in its heart, so it was afraid.

Perhaps, the things left there recorded her last whereabouts.

Perhaps, the things kept there recorded her proud spells.

Perhaps, what was kept there remembered her best friend.

After all, it's a stinky fox, that white-haired stinky fox with profound Taoism, with Baichen's blood, who has never had the heart to make friends.

For a guy like her, even Calamity would drive her back because she was too noisy.

Wu Baizang thought so, but didn't move a step, and forced the corner of his mouth to smile.

The two little foxes on the side just accompanied it silently.

They held the leaves that had grown bigger, each holding a leaf, just quietly waiting for the dawn, and waiting for Wu Baizang to sort out his mood.

It's dawning——

Qi got up and folded the quilt, got up first and cooked a pot of hot porridge, and then took out some ingredients from the storage space of the God's Eye to make breakfast for the old man.

The little fox continued to hold her hand and shook his head vigorously.

"Hey hey!"

"Hey, what a rude statement?!"

It has to be said that Qi, who was hit by the little demon raccoon, was depressed for 3 minutes, and then put himself into the business of cooking again.

"So, it was because of the first practice that you had diarrhea."

By the way, he retorted stubbornly.

But to be honest, because the recipes are all read from books, some records are detailed, and some records are incomplete, so this incomplete part is left to my own thinking about how to fill it.

The result is that familiar recipes do well, and unfamiliar recipes tend to make strange foods.

After making breakfast, Zhengcheng took the lead to try it for the village chief Konta with a heroic expression. After finding that it was surprisingly delicious, he continued to eat even though his tongue was scalding.

Prayer and the village chief Konta, who got up when he heard the movement, inquired where Yanzang was, and ran to him.

It seemed that Yanzang had been entertained before he came back, and brought back a lot of food, which made Caimen's family richer, and even tidied up a utility room for him to live in.

When Qi found him, the guy was still hugging the bedding, sound asleep humming.

After being pinched by the girl's nose, he woke up quickly, with a sleepy look, muttering "why did I dream of praying again?"

It wasn't until he realized that it was a real person standing here that he hurriedly rolled over and got up, blushing and explaining in a panic.

Qi just chuckled twice, briefly explained the reason to him, and this guy swears that it will be fine.

At the same time, my stomach growled, and I invited Iwazo to have a meal of hot porridge.

After breakfast, the village head also took out the key and opened the well.

Sunlight entered the well, blending with the cold air rising from below, and a damp smell also came out.

Yanzang threw down the fire switch and took a look at the situation at the bottom of the well, unexpectedly found that there seemed to be another fork, so he took the lead to go down the rope.

Qi declined the village chief's kindness to call some more help, and jumped down holding the silent little fox, which almost didn't scare the village chief Kontian. Fortunately, seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and planned to move in. The chair waited to see what could help.

Going down to the bottom of the well, unexpectedly there are some wooden platforms built underneath, and the bottom thunder seed is standing there quietly.

There was a thunderbolt flashing.

It is completely consistent with the memory, so now there is only one task left.

Iwazou, who was walking in front, stumbled suddenly, got up, and shouted in a daze, "Don't run! Stop!"

Then he slammed into the stone wall with nothing and passed out.

"..."

Qi felt some kind of vague malice.

However, the kind girl quickly dragged Iwazo from the ground and moved her to a position with her back against the wall.

"You are here."

Suddenly, a very light and gentle voice came from behind.

The girl hugged the frightened little fox, and turned to look at the somewhat transparent Miss Miko.

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

For some reason, Miss Miko seemed a little lost, and even her figure became more transparent.

"But I'm still here."

Qi boldly took a few steps forward.

This made Miss Miko step back a few steps like a positive and negative magnet.

"What are you asking for?"

Miss Miko clearly felt very frustrated, but she still asked in a soft voice.

"I want to ask you to teach me the tricks to win at hide-and-seek!"

The girl's words were so straightforward that Miss Miko made a cute "Huh?" bewildered sound.

"Master [Baosheng Sizheng] of the guarding forest has taken away the important treasure left by Master Huzhai Palace. If you continue to leave the treasure and don't get it back, there will be problems in next year's Shenying Dazhao."

"But it hid again and told us that if we want to get the treasure, we have to find it." At this moment, the girl blushed a little: "I... I'm not good at hide-and-seek. played."

"I see~" It could be heard that Miss Miko's mood seemed to be better.

However, Miss Miko didn't directly tell her the secret to victory, but floated gently not far from her.

"But before I tell you, I also have some questions that I want you to answer for me."

"For example...your name? What year is it?"

The girl's answer made her seem to be a little hit again, but soon, she regained her strength.

"So, how did you find it here?"

"In the dream... I saw the memory along the branch of Shenying."

Miss Miko's figure became more solid, and the inhuman aura on her body seemed to become extremely shallow.

She took a tentative step forward, as if some kind of restriction had disappeared.

So she took two steps forward, brisk and happy.

At this time, he came in front of the young girl. It was clearly a ghost-like soul body, but it revealed its anger like a living person.

"Then, one last question. I want to know, do you still remember Master Huzhai Palace...?"

"Remember...?" The girl was a little confused, she shook her head: "However, I haven't really met Lord Huzhai Palace, and all I know about her is from other people's mouths and books. "

"Are you...are you worn out...or are you like me," Miss Miko said in a very low voice with a sense of dullness, "I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue, please forget what I just said."

Qi can feel that what Miss Miko said should be a very important thing.

"I want to know only these questions, so as a reward for solving my puzzles, I will tell you how to identify the little demon fox's tricks."

She didn't continue to talk about the previous topic, but started to talk about other things seriously.

"By identifying some subtleties, you can find the real body of the other party."

"Well... before the lecture, I also have something to ask Miss Miko."

Qi was a little cautious, or a sadness that she didn't feel herself.

"Please feel free to ask, as long as I can answer."

Miss Miko suddenly became more talkative, and her cold posture remained condensed.

"Miss Miko...is there any relationship with Master Huzhai Palace?"

"No...I'm not Lord Huzhai Palace, I'm Hua Sanli."

Miss Miko raised her head and looked at the mouth of the well as if remembering something.

"Just a shrine maiden who happened to be forgotten by time."

"Then... where did Huzhai Palace go?"

The little demon raccoon "Zheng Cheng" in Qi's arms suddenly asked.

"She is on this land, and she hasn't gone anywhere."

Miss Miko's answer made "Zhengcheng" quite dissatisfied, it got out of the girl's arms, stood up on both feet and jumped angrily.

"Hey! It's like this again! It's like this again! Why do you all hide the truth and talk about moral friendship, but you are still unwilling to tell others what you really want to know!"

"Zhengcheng" gradually changed, and a round little fox with orange-yellow fur appeared, which was Wu Baizang's real body.

Its expression was very sad, and warm tears dripped on the back of the girl's hand.

"The stinky fox...was devoured by calamity, right?"

"..."

Qi felt some kind of sad emotion coming from his heart, very suddenly, as if someone was lodged in his heart, looking out to the outside world through himself.

"No, Master Huzhai Palace just... hid. After you voluntarily abstained from the competition, it was her turn to hide. Maybe she is hiding somewhere at this time, quietly teasing you. "

Huasanli comforted me warmly.

"Why can you say such bland words so easily?"

Wu Baizang's dejected expression became even more aggrieved.

"Wouldn't it make me... like a big fool, thinking wildly and passionately!"

"As you said, if you want to find the answer, the wise have their own way to judge, and the stupid can also see it with their own eyes to know the truth, but if they don't take steps, they are like frogs."

The flowers point to the mouth of the well.

"I always hide at the bottom of the well, but the world I see is too narrow."

"Why don't we make a bet. When you find Master Huzhai Palace, you can make any request. Conversely, before you find her, can you return the treasure first?"

A ghost and a raccoon just looked at each other tacitly.

Even though Wubaizang couldn't see the face underneath clearly because of the mask, but this familiar feeling seemed to be the same thing.

What if the stinky fox really cheated?

After all, it is Huzhai Palace, the Huzhai Palace that has always been able to do anything.

"The comb... I'll give it back to you, and I'm going to pack up and go find the stinky fox."

It curled its big tail, and put a primitive comb in Qi's hand.

At the same time, Wubaizang jumped up from the girl's arms and threw himself into the flowers. Miss Miko turned sideways to dodge it, letting it jump into the air, rolling twice on the ground, and then with a bang, in the The figure dissipated in the smoke.

"Hmph, listen up! Smelly witch, I must take off your mask next time."

Before completely disappearing, he said harsh words and ran away on his own.

Only the two in Qi and Huasan were left looking at each other, and finally smiled softly.
