The brother and sister depend on each other and live in the Fox Cave on Purple Mountain to practice.
The Fox Cave was built by hollowing out a thousand-year-old Bodhi tree.
There are not many furnishings.
But the layout is simple and warm, and there are traces of the life of Baitao, the little fox cub, everywhere.
On the small table made of polished tree stumps, there are eight-treasure glazed lamps floating with a charming luster, and next to them are the bamboo dragonflies and bamboo grasshoppers woven by my brother.
There are also teething sticks and various gadgets that Baitao didn’t put away after playing with them in the morning.
Baitao looked guilty.
Jump down, pull them into the bamboo basket, and clean them up.
The elder brother is casting a spell to heal the young man's wounds. His facial profile is outlined by the light of the glass lamp, somewhere between clear and handsome.
He lowered his eyes and looked at them with concentration.
Baitao was sensible enough not to disturb her, and waited for her brother to finish casting the spell.
She looked at the boy's sharp eyebrows that could not be hidden even when he was asleep after his wounds disappeared, and said with a smile: "How come this good thing is as good-looking as us vixens? But... it's a bit fierce."
"No matter how good the skin is, it is still a red and pink skull."
Bai Tu stopped and tapped the boy's acupuncture point.
He couldn't help but pick up the white peaches and stuff them into the basket.
The little fox quickly covered its face with its tail in the basket and muttered, "Brother, I guess I haven't grown any flesh."
"You don't gain weight, you don't grow tall, and you don't grow much in cultivation either."
Bai Tu fiddled with the scale, looked at the scale and sighed, then took her out with one hand, "What do you think we should do?"
"Then I'll work hard..."
"There is no point in trying hard. There is a shortcut to improve your cultivation. Do you want to take it, little guy?"
Bai Tu looked at the unconscious young boy, curled his lips and asked.
shortcut..
Baitao thought of the human documents she had read before, which said that it was not good to take shortcuts and gain convenience.
She blinked and said, "But brother, is taking shortcuts a serious business?"
"We are goblins, what serious things are we going to do?"
Bai Tu curled his knuckles and tapped her little head, "You are already over 40 years old and can only transform into one tail. I will use your little paws to calculate how long it will take you to transform into a nine-tailed sky fox. Here are two clues.
After more than ten years of shortcuts, how many detours can you avoid?"
It's a bit unclear whether the two paws of the white peach are regarded as plum blossoms.
After all, arithmetic has not been learned yet.
But she had a keen sense that something was wrong, "But brother, is it important to transform into a sky fox? Why should I transform into a sky fox so quickly?"
Bai Tu's expression changed slightly.
The moonlight outside the window made the eyes under his silver hair more like the ashes of the melting moon, "One day, little one, you will understand."
"I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand!"
Baitao rolled on the table and stretched out her paw, "Look, the pads are pink."
Then he shook the big tail of the cattail fan, which took up more than half of his body, and said, "Look, it can be used to cover the quilt. One tail is enough."
He rolled again like a show of skill.
Her two semicircular fox ears clicked together, then clicked apart. "Brother, look, I can also make bunny ears. Do I have nine tails that are equally cute?"
A faint smile bloomed at the corner of Bai Cha's mouth, seemingly helpless.
But then he raised his chin slightly and said, "So what? Brother Bunny Ears can do it too."
Baitao was surprised: "Really?"
My brother is a white fox and I am a red fox.
Even though he has grown so big, Baitao has never seen Brother Meihu make rabbit ears. After all, white rabbit ears look the most like them.
She pestered her brother: "If you want to see it, you need to see it."
Bai Tu winked at the end of his eyes: "Little guy, can you take a shortcut?"
"Walk!"
The little fox cub is careless and has always taken advantage of the benefits given in front of him.
Bai Tu also leaned on her lovingly.
She watched a few sticks of incense, brother moved the rabbit ears, and fell asleep in a daze. When the sky was almost dawn, she heard the rustling sound, and Baitao woke up again.
Before opening his eyes, the fox's ears were spinning like a top.
Seize the position, the white peach hair is rising.
Then he saw the young boy who had his acupuncture points opened at some point. He stood up with an indifferent expression, lowered his eyes and looked into her brown fox eyes.
Baitao bared her teeth in protest at him.
My brother hasn't woken up yet, so he should send a signal to this foreign intruder that he shouldn't mess with him.
The young man looked past her, glanced at the sleeping silver-haired man, and walked out of the fox hole.
Just leave like that?
Baitao wanted to tug on her brother's sleeve and tell him that a good thing had escaped, but then she thought about it.
The man opposite me is a mortal, but I am a vixen.
If she can't even stand up to a defenseless mortal, then what kind of vixen is she?
His fighting spirit instantly became high, and Baitao followed him out with his chest puffed out.
The white fish belly outside is slowly rising from the horizon, and rays of sunlight are like tentacles exploring this mountain forest.
The young man didn't go far. He was sitting on the rock, his back was desolate and lonely, and he had a sense of chaos that even the sun couldn't shine through.
Seeing the good thing, Baitao didn't run away. She took fox steps and squatted down next to him.
Keep an eye on him.
"Did you save me?"
the young man asked.
His voice was a little hoarse, like a thin veil brushing against gravel.
Baitao didn't want to scare him by opening her mouth, because vixens were very rare. How many times could a mere mortal see one?
She stretched out her paw and licked it, but ignored it.
"...."
Zhao Zheng said without knowing what he meant: "Your fur is so beautiful."
Complimenting the fox's fur is definitely not a good way to praise it, and it even brings out a bit of bloody covetousness.
Bai Tao's pupils shrank, she stopped even licking her paws, and purred in her throat.
Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Look, you understand."
Baitao was stunned, realizing that she had fallen into the trap of a cunning mortal. Although mortals have small limbs, they generally have big brains.
"Are you a mountain spirit?" Zhao Zheng asked.
Baitao said nothing and stopped moving. Her pupils were dilated and she stared straight ahead, acting like a red fox ornament.
Zhao Zheng: "..."
He's just a stupid, simple monster.
There was a sound of tiny grass stems being swept behind him, and the silver-haired man inside walked out.
Zhao Zheng was alert all over, and a frost-like coldness appeared on his face, but it disappeared in a moment, as fast as an illusion.
"Who are you?"
The silver-haired man didn't answer.
When the little fox saw her brother coming out, she pounced on him, raised her tail, and sat on his head. After doing all this, she stuck out her tongue at Zhao Zheng below, showing off her power.
The fox cub was so active that Bai Tu turned into half a shape, and two fox ears popped up, giving Bai Tao a focus.
Seeing the uncontrollable shock on Zhao Zheng's face, he said leisurely: "Who is it? Do you still think I am a human being?"
Zhao Zheng straightened his back and said, "Your Excellency, do you have anything to ask for?"
"yes."
"What do you want?"
"My little fox saved your life, asking for half a hundred years of your life is not too much, right?" Bai Tu opened his eyes with demonic greed, "If you don't want to give it, then you have to die again."
Zhao Zheng's eyes were black and as heavy as dead water, "Zhao Zheng is unarmed now, is there any other choice?"
"So your name is Zhao Zheng."
Baitao couldn't hear the tense battle, so she just grabbed her brother's ears and tilted her head.
The little fox was talking, but Zhao Zheng was calm and unmatched by ordinary people. He had long eyelashes and remained motionless, "Zhao Zheng is alone, without a home or a country, and he doesn't know when there will be no tomorrow. It's just an elusive lifespan."
, you can take it if you want."
Smart people always know how to protect themselves first.
The more Bai Tu saw him like this, the tighter the strings in his mind became. Could such a human emperor be able to be controlled by him in the future?
"Boom——"
Thunder rolled in the sky, rain was about to come, the strong wind swept the fallen leaves and flew them up and down, and the little boy's ponytail and red hairband danced with the wind.
The oath with the Human Emperor has been fulfilled.
No matter what I say in the future, after all, I got a big deal now.
Bai Tu was in a wonderful mood. He poked the tip of Baitao's nose above his head and signaled to Zhao Zheng: "Come down the mountain and take it later. You can go."
Zhao Zheng took a deep look at the little fox above his head, and then walked down the mountain without saying a word.
The dark clouds roll like ink, the wind blows like a mountain, and the rain pours like a river.
The heavy rain whipped like a whip.
Baitao picked a big banana leaf and used it as an umbrella on Brother Meihu. Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting her, she looked at the back of the little boy walking alone down the mountain.
Anyone who has encountered the appearance of a goblin in Zishan will completely forget it when they come down from the mountain, and this Zhao Zheng did the same.
But if you do this, you will turn your back on the fox. It doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not. What about the oath?
Baitao Nuonuo said: "Brother, why don't we capture him and keep him while I watch over him? We can occasionally let him out for some air."
"..."
Bai Tu was speechless, "With two of us mountain fairies, can we raise the human emperor of Feng Chan? You might as well think about it carefully, little guy."
Baitao regretted: "But if I let him run away, it would be even harder to eat."
"We can keep an eye on him and wait for others to fatten him up before slaughtering him." Bai Tu picked out a transparent water droplet in the rain curtain and made a crackling sound. "Wouldn't it be nice to just sit back and enjoy the harvest?"
"good!"
Although it is not a serious thing to sit back and enjoy the fruits of the harvest, no matter what brother said, Baitao was so excited that he almost lifted the banana leaf.
The little human emperor in the middle of the mountain was still taking shelter from the rain, while the big fox and the little fox on the top of the mountain started a series of covetous and plotting over this piece of human emperor meat.
"What kind of foxes are we?" Bai Tu was reviewing the little fox.
Baitao raised his paw: "Tushan Fox!"
"For nearly a thousand years, our most outstanding ancestors were."
"Grandma Dajizu!"
"Our goal is..."
Target?
Bai Tao was confused, tilted her head and said: "Evolve the Nine Tails and become a Sky Fox."
"Wrong!" Bai Tu poked her little head with his fingertips, "Get a life span equal to that of Heaven and become a god!"
"Okay brother! Our goal is to become gods!"
Even though she is half-informed, Baitao is still full of confidence.
"Not bad, promising." Bai Tu looked at the newly grown little guy quite proudly. This chapter has been completed!
