036, Shi Dao
Shouyang Mountain, Xianling Cave.
The man in red hair and black sat cross-legged on the stone**, looked tired and raised his jaw: "Remember the formula. Change it to show it to the master."
The man's face is like a crown of jade, and his eyebrows are quite fairy. Although he looks lazy, he still dares not be underestimated.
However, the little fox squatting on the floor in front of him is not ordinary. The gray-yellow fur is dull in color, and there are many burn scars on his abdomen and face. It is pitted and miserable.
The little nine-tailed fox turned around, and a golden light flashed and turned into a human form.
The smile on the man's face stiffened.
The little girl is bare and has no trace on her body, but half of her face is still burned.
When she fell into the charcoal basin a few years ago, half of her face hit the fiery hot charcoal block. If it hadn't been rescued in time, I'm afraid it would have been cooked. After several years of recuperation, her injury has recovered, but the scar has remained. Even if she becomes a human, it will not fade, which shows how deep the wound is.
The little girl didn't check herself and jumped happily: "Is it beautiful?"
The man smiled and nodded: "It's good. Master has prepared some clothes for you to change. It's easy to catch a cold when you are bare.
The little girl happily ran in the direction he pointed, took out a few sets of colorful dresses from a big box, picked them around, chose her favorite set to wear, and ran back: "Is it beautiful?"
"Good-looking, very good-looking." When the man said something against his will, he really couldn't bear to tell the little apprentice in front of him that half of her face was completely destroyed, and the other half was really beautiful.
The little girl turned her head and looked around in the mirror, but was stopped by him. The man touched her head and said, "The practitioner should get rid of all distractions. You are now a good time to lay the foundation. You can't blindly love beauty and delay your practice. Master put away all the mirrors and wait for you to take them out after the disaster."
The little girl nodded like a silver bell: "The apprentice knows, and the apprentice is going to practice."
"Go ahead." He was very relieved and watched the little apprentice run out of the cave.
Although his qualifications are mediocre and his appearance has been destroyed, his good intentions are pure and good. Master taught him that practitioners are the most taboo for evil intentions and delusions. Only people who are kind and strong-willed can achieve positive results. He does not want a kind child to lose self-confidence because of disfigurement, and to be honest, she is now There is no other way to practice. If you let her go back to the mountains, no male fox will like her...
It's a day to hide it. In the future, it's not easy to become what you want to become. Besides, this disfigurement can't be cured any more. Maybe there will be a way to ask Shennong?
With such a mood, the man carefully cultivated the little apprentice and inquired about ways to restore his appearance.
However, paper can't wrap the fire. One day, Qingqiu Mountain God came as a guest. Zhu Jin was not in the cave. Qianqian went out to greet her. Qingqiu Mountain God recognized that she was the little nine-tailed fox brought back by Zhu Jin. She was not surprised, but blurted out for a moment: "What's wrong with your face?"
What happened after that didn't need him to continue to say that Zhujin was clear. After punching this guy, he rushed back to Yangshan. Qianqian was gone.
Hearing this, Tang Xiaotang couldn't help interrupting: "Girls are all a little beautiful. If it were me, I suddenly learned that I had been disfigured, and I must have been looking for life, and I couldn't listen to anything."
Zhu Yu said with contempt, "Your face is similar to that of disfigurement." Tang Xiaotang stared. He coughed again and said, "Just kidding, you're right. Maybe I shouldn't hide it from her."
Tang Xiaotang nodded and said, "But teacher, you were also kind at that time. I'm afraid that she would have no intention to practice because of her inferiority complex. I didn't expect that she would eventually fall into the devil's way. It's really not as good as God."
"The more you can't get, the more persistent you will be." Zhujin said to herself thoughtfully and was stunned. Tang Xiaotang was afraid of disturbing him to recall the past, so he gently got up and walked away.
At noon, Situ Yan returned to the dormitory and hurriedly came to ask her about what happened in the morning. Because it involved Zhujin's past, it was regarded as privacy. Tang Xiaotang did not tell her in detail. She only said that the old man came to seek revenge but found the wrong person and should not come again.
Situ Yan accepted her explanation, but she was still not relieved: "That man's spiritual power is very strong, and even Lord Changqin is not an opponent. You should still be careful in the future. Didn't Lord Zhujin teach you some self-defense tricks? What if you are targeted by other monsters again?
"There won't be that kind of thing," the rabbit got out of the seal and was in Tang Xiaotang's chair, with his eyes half-open and half-closed. "The girl has my coat of arms on the back and my body has my demonic power in her body. If I am attacked, I will know as soon as possible. Moreover, although I have been imprisoned for 1,700 years, my reputation is still outstanding, and there are no ten or eight I dare not touch my things.
After hearing this, Tang Xiaotang couldn't help looking at the light red pattern on the back of his hand and joked, "I thought this was just a key."
Situ Yan asked curiously, "What key?"
"Ah... So what, Xiaoyan, do your ancestors have something to do with the Sui Ren family?" Tang Xiaotang quickly changed the topic.
Before leaving, the old man once said that since there are descendants of the Sui people to help, how about the Situ family is a descendant of the Sui people, one of the three emperors? That's not a small one.
Situ Yan felt a little strange. She tilted her head and thought for a while. She denied it and said, "I haven't heard from Lord Changqin. Where did you hear it?"
Tang Xiaotang didn't know how to bypass the pit he dug, but the rabbit said, "Situ Changqin once worshipped the descendants of the Suiren family as their teacher. The rune skills of the Situ family were handed down by the descendants of the Suiren family. The master should have been wrong."
Now Situ Yan is even more curious: "Master? Lord Zhujin's master? That must be from the Hemudu period, right? Or..."
Tang Xiaotang laughed, and the rabbit became angry: "You asked too many questions!"
Although Situ Yan was so shouted by the rabbit that she dared not ask more questions, Tang Xiaotang knew in his heart that since the old man could remember his hatred for 3,000 years and would definitely come again if he didn't hit it, he still have to be careful.
Sure enough, two days later, on Christmas Eve, Tang Xiaotang had just come out of the middle canteen and was about to pick up the car when he was pressed on his shoulder: "Girl, please stay."
Looking up, good guy, this time he has become an old fairy with a straight waist and a clear face. Fortunately, no one can see him, otherwise he will definitely be regarded as a performance art. Tang Xiaotang sighed and put the key into his pocket and looked at him helplessly: "Master, can't you finish it all at once?"
The old fairy touched his beard and smiled: "If you know to call me master, you will remember the past. Do you have something urgent? Where are you going?"
Tang Xiaotang glanced at the direction of the teaching building and replied absently, "Don't worry, do activities in the class during the holiday. Go and help with it."
"The winter solstice seems to have passed." The old fairy has a suspicious face.
"It's Christmas Eve, Jesus' birthday, a foreign festival," Tang Xiaotang said while observing the old man's expression, but the old man's expression seemed to be fixed by paste, and there was no change. "Today, more than 2,000 years ago, the Virgin Mary gave birth to a boy in the stable, who was the later savior, and ended a time. Dai opened another era. In order to commemorate him, people celebrated his birthday as a holiday.
The old fairy stroked his beard silently, and Tang Xiaotang said, "On Jesus' birthday, three sages sent him gifts, which symbolized noble gold, sacred frankincense, and myrrh symbolized death. When the child was born, the wise man knew that he would be persecuted and die in the future, but even so, the wise man did not interfere in the growth of Jesus, let alone chase the traitor Judas because he was crucified. Everyone had his own way to go, and Jesus chose to forgive Judas..."
Her preaching could not continue, and the old man interrupted her slowly but irresistibly: "Do you think you have been forgiven by him?"
Tang Xiaotang explained patiently, "Actually, you misunderstood, I'm not..." After saying that, the old man interrupted her again: "He was not good to you in the past? Isn't it better than that unsympathetic man? What on earth blinds your eyes, and you are still obsessed until you are reincarnated.
"Because you love me, I have to love you? This is ridiculous. Apple is a disease that has to be cured. Tang Xiaotang retorted without hesitation.
The old man turned a deaf ear and said to himself, "What do you like about that man? I like him, sinister and vicious, and can endure and pretend. Finally, there will be a day when he will be crowned as a big treasure. At that time, the water will rise, and you can also follow the mother's world?"
Tang Xiaotang was stunned and vaguely felt that there was something wrong. How could King Zhou be old-fashioned and become a great treasure? He was the king of the dead country. Could it be... Is it Ji Fa who fell in love with? She seduced King Zhou and ruled [vertical] politics in order to help Ji Fa overthrow the Shang Dynasty?
Wait, have you found any amazing truth, peat?
"You gave birth to three sons for him. Did he pity you? You don't hesitate to kill him to cover up his lies, and what you get in the end. He regards you as a flood beast, but he can't avoid it! You helped him with full of talent, but in the end you were spurned by him. Don't you still have a trace of regret today?
No, Tang Xiaotang frowned. The more he listened, the more wrong it became. Who was he talking about? Why does it sound like it's not Su Daji? Su Daji and King Zhou have sons? It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the Romance of Gods.
The more the old fairy said, the more indignant he became, and slapped the mountain banyan next to the road: "If it hadn't been betrayed by you, how could your master's 3,000-year Taoism be calculated by Tang Youxin's stunned youth!" The palm was powerful, and the thick alpine banyan shook off countless leaves, and the trunk of the tree cracked a crack.
This must have a restraining effect, otherwise this innocent banyan tree will definitely end up with a broken waist!
Tang Xiaotang suddenly opened his mouth - Tang Youxin! Tang Youxin was from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, right? No matter how long human beings live, they can't live for 3,000 years. The cliff is wrong!
She immediately gestured to stop and said, "Wait a minute, you said Tang Youxin? The head of the Tang family? Isn't it Jiang Ziya?"
The old fairy was stunned: "Who is Jiang Ziya?"
