Chapter 147 Foggy Little Fox
After Canglan left the valley, he went straight to the direction of the ghost fog forest.
She did not delay this way. Seeing that it would come to an end, Canglan only hoped to get to the ghost forest before dark. It's better to bring Jiuyin out of the ghost fog forest. Just listening to Xingbo talk about the ghost fog forest will only make people's backs cold. If it comes at night, I don't know how gloomy it will be.
Fortunately, the valley is not far from the ghost fog forest. On the way, when passing through the previous countryside, she remembered the departure of Xingma, and the heart of Canglan was still faintly painful. She only hoped to find Jiuyin earlier, so that she could go to the city of fantasy together to find Xingma.
In front of us, the two mountains stand straight into the sky. The wall of the mountain is steep without any birds, and there is a narrow road between the two mountains. The sun gradually dimmed when it came here. Looking along the narrow road, the hazy mist lingered inside, covering everything in the narrow road, making it impossible for people to see the inside at all.
The cool breeze blew, which made Canglan shiver, and the cool breeze of the Buddha could blow into his bones. Looking at the scene in front of her, Canglan was inevitably a little scared. After all, the ghost forest was extraordinary, but when she thought that Jiuyin was still in it, she did not hesitate to step into this place step by step.
Since Jiuyin is still in it, what's so terrible about yourself?
The fog is too thick, so Canglan can't even see the place ten steps away from him. After entering the valley, the narrow road begins to gradually divide the way. One goes down into two, and there is the same way. This endless repetition, Canglan is choosing and hesitating. Spend time.
You can't see anything. In addition to the occasional strange calls of birds and beasts, you can see some white bones on the ground from time to time. But looking at the shape, most of them are also human bones. She tried to sense the existence of Jiuyin with her divine consciousness, but in the same way, her divine consciousness could only sense the range she could see, and as for what was deep in the fog, she could not see.
Wind, cool. The people are creepy, and Cang Lan tries to calm his heart, but this environment, coupled with repeated choices, is really challenging people's courage and patience. Walking on foot, the cold sword had already been clenched in his hand, and the strong pressure from nearby made Canglan have to be vigilant, frowned, and even his breathing was suppressed to the extreme.
The more you walk in this place, the more your heart feels pressed by something. The fog in front of you turns over, and various forms appear. Sometimes you can't tell whether it is fog or people.
Canglan walked forward with full attention, and there was a gust of wind blowing everywhere passing by, but there was actually no wind in this empty valley.
Suddenly, a cold feeling came from behind Canglan. Canglan looked stunned and turned back in horror, but there was nothing in the visible range. Except for the thick fog, she could not even see her own shadow.
Her eyebrows frowned again. In the face of this situation where she couldn't see anything clearly, she looked so helpless. This place was like a dream. Many things could not distinguish between true and false, and she could not see the front. Along the way, Canglan could do nothing but move forward with intuition, let alone find Jiuyin.
I don't know how long it has been, and how long the coldness has followed. Every time Canglan feels that thing, it naturally hides, as if it is deliberately playing with Canglan.
"The whereabouts of Xingbo and Jiuyin are unknown. It will only take time to go on like this. We need to find a way for him to find out the situation here." Cang Lan thought so in her heart and looked back slightly at the looming figure, and her heart slowly calmed down. She only wanted to do something to make the thing appear.
And that thing is also strange. He doesn't do anything, but keeps walking with Canglan. He neither appears nor makes a sound, as if he really regards himself as a gust of wind without a trace.
After walking like this, there was a small river in front of me. The river was not very deep, about half a person high, but it was clear to the bottom. There were grass growing by the river and unknown wild flowers.
Canglan really had no intention of continuing to consume that thing. She slowly walked to the river, flew to a large protruding stone in the middle of the river, and put the cold sword aside. She squatted down to drink the river water. She wanted to know how patient the thing would follow like this.
The cold wind gradually approached, and the woman's beautiful eyes turned, her fingers moved, and the water that originally flowed from her fingers automatically flew to the place where the cold sword was behind her as if summoned. A scream came out. With a "plop", the water splashed everywhere, and a white shadow fell into the water with a cold sword. Li.
The spells practiced by Canglan itself are water-based, and there is a strange induction with water. In the fog, her spell could not be used. The reason why she chose to go to the water instead of the shore was that she could use the movement of the water around her to sense the existence of that thing.
Sure enough, the thing was really delivered to the door. However, fortunately, Canglan's temptation also returned it to its original shape.
Cang Lan looked back indifferently at the white shadow struggling in the water, and was slightly stunned for a moment.
That thing was covered with blood, and if it hadn't been for the fact that he couldn't see his existence in the water.
This is actually a strange thing with human form but full of fluff. His whole body is covered with white hair, and even his facial features are still visible on his face. If it weren't for the fox ears, he really can't tell what he is. He doesn't look like a child, so the less deep river has submerged his neck.
"Help me... Help me, I'm afraid of water." The fox was struggling for help in the water, and it was really painful to see it.
Canglan's heart softened, and he didn't mean to hurt others. He stretched out his hand and pulled the thing out of the water and flew away from the river and fell straight to the shore.
"Why did you follow me?" When the fox stood firm, Cang Lan asked coldly, and his tone was a little serious.
That thing was obviously still scared by what had just happened. His whole body trembled, and his hair was wet with water and glued to his body. He looked at Canglan blankly and said, "I want to find my mother."
The child's voice was crisp and bright. Cang Lan frowned and asked, "Why did you follow me when you were looking for your mother?"
The thing hugged himself tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Because... because you look like my mother."
Cang Lan was slightly stunned and met the serious and expectant eyes of that thing. She was quite disbelieving, "Where has your mother been?" Why are you looking for her?"
The thing lowered its head sadly and pouted and said, "My mother said that she would leave here to find my father and reunite our family, but since my mother left, she has never come back. I have been waiting here without waiting for my mother to come back or see my father."
As he said, his voice was getting smaller and smaller, and he didn't know whether it was water or tears.
Such a cute and innocent fox, although half humanoid and half demon-shaped, is really cute and tight. Especially those fox eyes, which are clear and bright, and the tearful appearance is even more fascinating. If he grows up or becomes a human form, he must be a magnificent figure.
Cang Lan bent down and frowned, but looked at him with pity and asked softly, "Why did your father leave you? Where did he go?"
"My mother said that because she is a fox, her father doesn't want her. Dad is a human, but we are goblins." He said aggrievedly, "My mother also said that in fact, my father loved us, otherwise I would not marry my mother."
Listening to his crying, Canglan's heart seemed to have been stabbed by something. Is this because of the boundaries of race or identity? Since the feelings between people and demons are in love, why should they leave? Did this fox's father abandon them because he knew their identity?
Canglan knows that when the cultivation of animal demons reach a certain time, they can become human forms and control themselves to return to their real bodies, but there is a moment when no demon in the world can control them. That is when they are about to give birth, every demon will change back to their real body when they give birth to the next generation, and no one can control themselves at that moment. Self.
This is also the difference between Canglan and them. Although Canglan is a demon, it is made of the essence of the sun and the moon absorbed by the pear tree. The pear flower is the bone, the essence is the soul, and slowly cultivated and gathered little by little. From a swaying pear flower to the gradual adult, it finally becomes a real person. Such a demon has long been beyond the demon. Essence.
Cang Lan was guessing that maybe the human fell in love and married without knowing the child's mother's true body, but later he knew the truth and it was difficult to accept for a while, so he left them. He smiled in his heart, "Can't all the love in the world really leave the secular ties and identity and grow old together?"
Looking back at the child, "How long have you been looking for your mother?"
He raised his head and looked at Canglan with tears in his eyes. His eyes blinked, as if he were calculating. In a moment, he said, "Two hundred and fifty-two years."
Canglan was stunned. For more than 200 years, according to the age of a mortal, why did his mother not see him, so he asked, "Has your mother been away for so long? Haven't you found it all the time?"
He shook his head, "I haven't found it. People in the mountains said that she was dead when her father died, but I don't believe it. I don't believe that my mother will die."
"For more than 200 years. Do you remember your mother's appearance? Canglan asked softly.
The child suddenly widened, "It's similar to you, but very similar to that sister."
Cang Lan was puzzled, "You can't remember her appearance, how can you find her?"
The child said very seriously, "She recognizes me. When she left, she said that I was very much like my father. As long as I try my best to become a human form, I can recognize me. Don't you think I'm a human now? The sister just said that I'm not an ordinary person?
Cang Lan frowned again, "What sister?"
"Ah!" The child lowered his head and looked around. His little hands kept twisting the wet hair, which looked so awkward.
Canglan didn't ask again, just looked at him.
The little fox seemed to be more uneasy and began to play with his ears without twisting his hair. It looked like a child who made a mistake. Xu Canglan's look made him feel guilty, so he had to look at Canglan carefully. "That sister got lost inside. I... I followed her and accidentally regarded her as my mother. I wanted to follow her, but I didn't expect her to fall asleep while walking, so I took her back to the tree hole."
"Do you regard every woman who comes in as your mother?" Canglan Road.
The little fox nodded, "I don't know my mother. I have to let my mother recognize me. That sister asked me to take her out of here, but I didn't agree, so she was going to beat me. Of course, I can't be bullied, so I used magic to lock her in a tree hole." With that, the little fox raised his little head proudly, but his eyes gradually showed a gloom.
