Chapter 10 Bidding Farewell to Feng Xi Jian
A month flew by.
During this month, Xiao Xian turned into a human again. This time, when she transformed into a human, her Master and several senior brothers were guarding her. With the fact that she had been taking her medication on time before, Fox Xiao Xian did not have to suffer as much pain and hardship as she did before.
Fox Xiao Xian noticed that the giant bear's spirit bead was getting smaller and darker, and its color was darker; perhaps this ten-thousand-year-old spirit bead would finally disappear gradually.
She read that secret book countless times, followed her Master to learn the way of enlightenment; she learned martial arts with her eldest senior brother; her second senior brother took her to the mountains to collect medicine and came back to refine pills, and taught her some simple techniques of practicing medicine; Fox Xiaoxian also studied human's words, canonical texts, history, and numerical projections every day with her third senior brother and fourth brother.
What her Master said to her that day, she memorized; since this is her predestination, she can't hide it and can only face it frankly. But there is one thing she does not quite understand: why that day the Master called outside, eavesdropping on Ni Zhong and letting him and his downhill in a month? Downhill naturally goes their way; why do you want him to accompany you? The third and Fourth brothers can't accompany him, and he is not related to him. Why should he accompany him?
Fox Xiao Xian has too many things to learn and prepare for now. She doesn't have time to think about this, so she can only listen to her Master's arrangement. Anyway, a Master Teacher should have his reasoning.
A tiny little person is too short at two years old, so it could be more convenient to follow the Eldest Brother to practice swords or the Second Brother to pick herbs. Also, in human form, Ni Zhong is, after all, the appearance of a child of about ten years old, so he helped this "little sister" at the side. The two elder brothers had no problem with it, but the third elder brother, Shan Xiaohu, was a bit unhappy.
One day, a single small tiger blocked the door of Ni Zhong's room and, very casually, said: "Hey! You are my pet; why don't you return to your original form and follow Xiao Xian all day? What do you mean? You know that being a pet also means responsibility. You are very irresponsible!"
Although Ni Zhong knew very well that he was a guest, or an outsider, in Feng Xi Jian in the Kunlun Mountains, he had forgotten where his home was, what his identity was, and what he used to do, except for the fact that his name was Ni Zhong and that he was a dragon. However, he still didn't take this little lynx cat that hadn't yet taken human form seriously.
Ni Zhong squatted down so that he was as level as possible with Shan Xiaohu, gently stroked Shan Xiaohu's big head, and rubbed the long hairs on the tips of his ears. Then, with a kind face, he said, ''In terms of being a pet, I'm not as good as you. I must see what Little Fairy Sister is doing and if I need help."
"Hey. Hey? Who are you saying is a pet? Your tiger master doesn't need you to squat down; I can be even bigger than you!" Saying that Shan Xiaohu transformed into a huge, nonchalantly pouncing and biting toward Ni Zhong.
Ni Zhong saw this move and was also no longer humble. This is looking for trouble to pick.
It's just a fight. Who's afraid of who?
Fox Xiaxia sees these two masters looking to start fighting; his nature is not good to fight, but he wants to be a peacemaker to pull the fight, and the result is also brought into it.
This side of the single small tiger left pouncing correct bite; open mouth non-stop issued fierce wind, rain, snow, and hail, momentum is total. Over there, Ni Zhong is also a water-based spell, and when he saw the rain and snow, he was happy to see it, so what's there to be afraid of? They turned back to the black dragon, sucked away the single small tiger spit out of the snow and ice, and then around him vigorously winding; the single small tiger was wrapped tighter and tighter, gasping for air; wind and snow will not spit out.
Fox Xiaxia was originally two unrelated, but can't watch outsiders bullying their brothers; immediately anxious, he turned into an eagle when the black dragon swooped over, sharp claws ruthlessly grabbing off a few pieces of his dragon scales. The black dragon Ni Zhong was scratched, and the pain suddenly loosened; Shan Xiaohu hurried to escape. Ni Zhong looked at the silly cat as nothing; this little fox was a tough character, so with the fox, Xiaxia chased entangled. After a few rounds, these three fights became more and more difficult.
Ni Zhong thought that fox Xiao Xian was not blind and called him "small loach." she thought this fourth brother was the real loach, a slippery can. A few times chasing, looking at the hands of the fox, Xia Xia's figure changed too fast, suddenly birds, suddenly beasts, unexpectedly big and small.
A single small tiger is never a goat; he and the four brothers left and right together to deal with Ni Zhong. The result was that the more they fought, the more and more indistinguishable from each other, two to fight one and not have the upper hand, and ultimately, Fox Xiaxia turned into a boa constrictor. He launched a blizzard of total attack or failed to defeat Ni Zhong. Finally, Ni Zhong, a single small tiger, and fox Xiaxia three twisted into a twist.
Master Nanji Immortal Weng with fox small fairy in a side of melon seeds while watching the fun, and finally saw these three screwed together in each other, also can not move, happy jumped up and applauded: "Good! The fight is wonderful, the fight is enjoyable, the fight is great!"
Eldest senior brother's eyebrows jumped, once again being thunderstruck by his old codger senior. Second, Senior Brother seldom came out to watch the action but had always been curious about why Senior Father had left this little black dragon behind, so he stopped to watch the battle.
Fox Xiao Xian couldn't watch any longer after watching those three writhing into a ball. She stood up and patted the dirt, took the short sword given to her by Eldest Brother, and walked towards them. Fox Xiao Xian did not say anything, violently raising her hand and slashing the short sword down fiercely toward those three. Even if Fox Xiao Xian is now only the height of a human two-year-old child, the mana on her body is already not small; the sword wind whooshed and looked like it was going to smash on her body; the three boys who were twisted together were dispersed at once.
Shan Xiaohu looked at his body hair in horror, where the sword wind cut off a few, licked, and rubbed painfully.
Fox Xiaxia also panted; his sister is still understood; at home, it is always out of the ordinary; this time, the sword even dared to can; the next time, there is no telling what will happen.
Only Ni Zhong jumped to the top of the peach tree, transformed back to human form, smiled, and said to Fox Xiao Xian: "Xiao Xian sister, recently this sword practice more and more like a thing. Come back and spar with your brother Chong?"
"Are you guys done fighting? If you've had enough, then go about your business! I still have to check your schoolwork at night; don't be lazy!" Eldest Brother reprimanded. This big brother was often more like a master than a master, and Shan Xiaohu and Fox Xiaxia were very afraid of him, so they did whatever he said.
Ni Zhong smiled and arched his hand at Shan Xiaohu and Fox Xiaxia, "Although the two of you are still beasts and look quite a bit younger than me, I didn't realize that heroes come out of the youth; today, we are considered to be not fighting, I apologize!"
The world of boys is to rely on fists, and friendship is the same. Just now, the three little boys who fought with swords and crossbows, respectively, looked at each other, and each laughed and dispersed.
At night, the small tiger alone finds the fox. The tiny fairy: "Small sister, this is for you ..." The little fairy sees a single small tiger holding a small box with just a hand. The small tiger giggles a few times and runs away. She opened a look; the original small box inside was a crystal clear, warm color, pure white flawless jade. Kunlun produces a lot of jade, a beautiful jade world without equality. I didn't expect that the lynx spirit Shan Xiaohu, who usually looked rough and naive, could also have this kind of elegance, which was rare.
"He ah, himself prepared so many words to want to say to you, how the last sentence did not say out, threw you a stone and ran away ..." Fox Xiaxia slowly walked over.
"He has something to say to me?" Fox Xiaoxian was a bit puzzled; if you want to say something, say it directly. Why is this third elder brother twisting up? She's a bit uncomfortable.
Fox Xiaoxia bristled, not commenting. After all, they were all still teenagers, and even if they had that little bit of clueless sentiment, they hadn't been able to recognize their hearts yet. Shan Xiaohu was, Fox Xiao Xian was, and so was Fox Xiaxia. As an older brother, he was not very competent before, and now that his sister had to go through the tribulation alone and he could not accompany her, he did not know how to put this into words.
He patted his sister's head with his paw and sighed, ''You have to pay attention to protect yourself in the future. We've all met humans before, killing living beings for no reason, skinning them, and digging out their hearts, so according to me, I can't let you wander alone. But since Master said that this is your destiny must experience, I hope you return safely and healthily; I will think of a way to go down to the realm to look for you and try my best to protect you."
Fox Xiaoxian rarely heard their fourth brother say this to himself. Tears could not help but fall; she wrapped her arms around Fox Xiaxia's neck and buried her head in her fourth brother's fur; she did not want to let her brother see her crying, so she had to suppress and hug like this for a long time.
In the corner darkness, Shan Xiaohu drooped his head. Fox Xiaxia was right; he did have so many things he wanted to say to Xiao Xian. The three of them from the time they met until now, how much laughter they had together, and how many calamities they had gone through together? This friendship between the three of them has long been deeply planted in his heart, but unfortunately, he is stupid to see Xiao Xian is about to leave, but he can not say anything. A little man never tears, usually a bright and straightforward habit; at this moment, he heard the fox Xiaxia fox Xiao Xian's words, and he also silently thought of quickly practicing the fundamental skills; in the future, he must go to the mortal world to protect the little sister.
The three little ones' reluctance to part with all was seen in the eyes of a person on the roof; he looked at the moon in the sky with a smile; the moon curved like a hook, the vast heavens. He was glad that he had fallen into this world by mistake and was delighted that he had forgotten his past; otherwise, how could he have met this group of cute little demons and witnessed true love? Ni Zhong played with the peach kernel whistle that hadn't been given away yet, and it seemed that it wasn't simple for this little fox that was a little bit ugly to cause so much love and affection from everyone.
Suddenly, a breeze was behind him, and Nanji Immortal Weng sat down gently with a pot of tea and two bowls.
"Today, the roof is lively; it turns out that Immortal Weng, this age-old fairy, also likes to sit in the room to eavesdrop on the whispers of the little ones?"
"Your misunderstanding of the old gods and immortals is profound. ... My little old man has always had this hobby; my eldest and second disciples are too broad, and I am rather embarrassed to be excessively unruly. Ni, my young friend, your temperament is similar to mine. Come, enjoy the moon, and drink tea together."
"What is there to say?"
"Well, you understand me." Nanji Immortal Weng flicked a point into the air, and they instantly entered a twisted and enclosed space. Curious, Ni Zhong touched his hands around them, seemingly all void, unable to perceive anything, but the world outside was visible.
"What I said to you, I thought it would be better if no one else heard it. So a cover was made to seal you and me off; we can't be seen or heard from the outside." Nanji Xianweng gently sipped a mouthful of tea and continued.
"Little Fairy's journey down to the world, this time to experience the tribulation, is of great significance to her and her clan. This you heard the other day. I asked you to accompany her because this is also your destiny. Since you don't remember all the previous things, I'm afraid it is also the work of a higher power, so I'm not in a position to intervene. But I need to remind you that you are you, and she is here, and only heaven knows how your destinies intersect. The two of you will shed your surrounding magic power after you come down from the mountain, and you will also forget many things. You may need to remember to recognize each other or remember each other's appearance. You may not be in the same time and space in one billion mortal worlds, so you must not be obsessive about anything."
Ni Zhong pondered momentarily, "So it turns out I didn't come down the mountain with Little Fairy to accompany her through the calamity? So that was my calamity. Ha, it seems it was my wishful thinking." His eyes darkened a bit as he finished his cup of tea.
"I know your mind and understand the minds of those two furry children under the eaves. You guys can't help and protect Xiao Xian secretly. Not to mention you guys, even I can't. Using spells on earth, even a little bit of insignificant spells, is a felony; not only will you be doubly revolted by the spells, but it will only be harmful to Little Fairy. I'll keep a closer eye on those two children in the future, but you are not my student, so I'll mention it here today. Be good to yourself! Also, you and I must keep what we said privately. None of my disciples can know, you remember."
"Hmm, remember." Nanji Immortal Weng gently ruffled it, and this transparent immortal mask disappeared. The period during which Ni Zhong and Nanji Immortal Weng talked about their business seemed to be just a blink of an eye from the outside, and no one had noticed anything strange. Ni Zhong's heart was a bit weird, anyone? This older man seemed to be guarding against something. What secrets did he have?
In the blink of an eye, the one-month deadline had gone, and Fox Xiao Xian and Ni Zhong were about to leave Feng Xi Jian, leaving the Kunlun Mountains to travel down to the next world. Master Teacher still looked cynical and playful, as if Fox Xiao Xian was going out for a picnic rather than experiencing a destiny.
"You guys are having a good time going out and having fun. There's no need to miss us too much." He then picked two immortal peaches from the tree and handed them to them. "Look, I even gave you peaches to eat at the end; my little old man is very generous to be a god! Keep these peaches for dry food on the way."
The first and second senior brothers remained in their ways with few instructions or pleasantries. The third old brother, Shan Xiaohu, finally didn't hold back, hugged Fox Xiaoxian, and cried out. Fox Xiaxia was also silently shedding tears to see her sister off.
"You guys can hug me too! I'm leaving too, won't you guys miss me?" Ni Zhong had an innocent face and looked at everyone pitifully.
"You don't need comforting as a big old man!" Shan Xiaohu wiped his nose in disdain.
"Brother Ni Zhong, meeting each other is fate. Although you haven't known us long, you're still an immortal friend who talks to each other. Take care on your journey here, and I hope you can protect my sister." Fox Xiaxia solemnly bowed to Ni Zhong.
Ni Zhong understood that Fox Xiaxia was entrusting her sister to him, but he was also clear that if things didn't go as planned. He couldn't accompany Fox Xiao Xian, and this entrustment would become false. He no longer had a hangdog look, and with a serious face, he returned a salute to Fox Xiaxia and the crowd.
"I've been bothering you a lot during this time; thanks to Immortal Weng and all of you for your unstinting help. Ni Zhong, thank you all for this! I am still determining when I'll see you again this time. We'll see you again!"
Fox Xiao Xian made a big kneeling bow to her Master and all the senior brothers and said goodbye to everyone with tears in her eyes. She didn't say anything passionate. She said, "Master, all the senior brothers, Fox Xiao Xian is leaving. Please take care of yourselves and wait for me to return from the tribulation." She got up and gazed at her master teacher for a long time, then followed Ni Zhong down the mountain.
