"Do you remember that old lady?" After the old man's back disappeared around the corner, Xiao Xiao looked away, turned to look at Yuan Tao, and asked.
"She met you when she was fourteen, and you spent a day together."
"She also promised to bring you cookies she made by herself the next day."
......
Xiao Xiao briefly explained a few words, and Luo Tao finally showed a look of surprise.
Monsters always have very good memories, especially monsters with advanced cultivation.
So after Xiao Xiao described it a little bit, he remembered that girl.
After all, there are really not many humans who can see it, and it also spent a day playing with that human girl.
Although it was just a whim, it was indeed a happy day.
It turns out that the little girl back then was already a grey-haired old man.
The traces of time on human beings are really obvious.
Thinking of the wrinkles on the old man's face, the white hair on his head and the slightly hunched back that he had just glanced at, Yuan Tao couldn't help but sigh.
Human beings are indeed short-lived creatures. When I saw the girl from back then and the old man now, I saw a strong aura of death in her body.
The girl back then was already dead.
However, this is an ordinary human being. In a short period of no more than a hundred years, he has to go through all kinds of life, old age, illness and death, and eventually return to dust and earth to earth.
......
Xiao Xiao touched the bird pattern, smiled, then opened the red tin box and handed it to the front, "Here, your biscuits."
Since Yuan Tao remembered that girl, he naturally understood the origin of this cookie.
After staring at the biscuits silently for a while, Luo Tao seemed to be a little confused.
Xiao Xiao was about to say something, but in the blink of an eye, when he looked at the biscuit box in his hand, he found that it was empty, leaving only some crumbs at the bottom of the box.
Looking up, Xiao Xiao:...
Yuan Tao looked calm, as if nothing had happened, and there seemed to be some disgust in his expression.
However, Xiao Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth, and he could see the cookie crumbs on the side of his mouth.
However, looking down at the empty cookie box, he couldn't help but smile.
Forget it, just eat the biscuits.
The old man should be happy, right? Unlike countless times before, this time she finally gave away the biscuits she made by herself, and she finally let him eat the biscuits she promised.
……
Xiao Xiao lost his mind for a while, then smiled and shook his head. He had done what he could do. After all, it was someone else's story. Why did he think so much?
It's more important to do his business.
Xiao Xiao raised his wrist to look at the time, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. It was almost noon.
Time flies so fast.
Xiao Xiao sat down against the maple tree and took out his lunch from his bag - a bag of toast and a carton of milk.
……
Occasionally, tourists passing by can see a young man sitting on the ground with his back against the maple tree, his left leg propped up, his right leg straight, his posture casual and casual, eating bread in one hand and milk in the other.
But no tourist could see a red, strange-looking bird among the maple branches above the man, with its long tail hanging down on the man's side.
The man's mouth opened and closed from time to time, and those who noticed it only thought he was talking on the phone.
No one came forward. After all, the scenery there was nothing special. You can see similar scenery anywhere in Xiangshan, so why bother others?
The cold wind rustled, blowing the fallen leaves all over the ground, and also brought a few words.
"...Gu carving...a cruel guy..."
"...injured...human...tonic..."
"...Fox demon...possessing a human woman..."
"...sucks the essence of human men...it enters the realm very quickly, with almost no bottlenecks...it is easy to give birth to inner demons...it is a narrow escape every time...it can range from cultivation backlash, loss of Taoism...at worst, death of body and Taoism."
..."
"...the tail is very important..."
……
Because it was rare to meet a man, Xiao Xiao stayed in Xiangshan until sunset, asking many questions that he had doubts about.
At the end of the day, the sky was getting dark, and the owl became impatient. He swung his tail, picked up Xiao Xiao, and threw him to the stone steps in the distance.
Fortunately, no one was nearby at the time.
Xiao Xiao stood up helplessly, patted the dust on his body, and then realized that night had fallen quietly, with a dim yellow moon hanging high in the sky, and a few cold stars looming.
Is it already so late? Xiao Xiao looked at the time. It was almost six o'clock. Because it was winter, it got dark very early today.
But it’s time for him to leave, otherwise the staff will come to drive him away, and it’s almost closing time.
Xiao Xiao took one last look at the mandarin duck, whose flaming red feathers were particularly eye-catching in the night.
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, Yuan."
"Goodbye."
……
Xiao Xiao did not ask Yuan Er any questions about bodhicitta until the end.
Because he is not sure how precious bodhicitta is.
I don’t know whether bodhichitta is so attractive to fox monsters only, or whether it is so attractive to all monsters?
Therefore, he did not dare to take risks.
He was worried that one of his unintentional words might lead to Su Youjin's death.
Although he has gotten along well with Yuelu so far, that is only if they have no conflict of interest.
People die for money, and birds die for food.
In this regard, I believe there is no difference between monsters and humans. Even when faced with their own desires, monsters will be more honest and greedy.
Even if Xiao Xiao doesn't know what bodhicitta is? But he knows that bodhicitta is definitely a treasure more precious than money.
In front of treasures, many things are fragile and breakable.
Xiao Xiao doesn't want to gamble and doesn't want to gamble.
......
Moreover, Xiao Xiao also feels that the less people or demons know about the existence of bodhicitta, the better.
Even he is curious, and has even thought about whether bodhicitta is of great use to human beings?
However, monsters can attack people without any obstacles, and as a human, how could he attack Su Youjin, who is also a human and his classmate with peace of mind? Just having such a thought made him feel that he was simply callous and heartless. , my brain is twitching.
Therefore, when it comes to bodhicitta, Xiao Xiao finally chose silence and forgetfulness.
......
The only thing I'm a little worried about is how the fox demon discovered that Su Youjin has bodhicitta?
Since the fox demon can detect it, then other monsters should also be able to detect it?
However, Xiao Xiao then thought about it. Su Youjin had lived for so many years before a fox demon discovered her bodhicitta.
So, the fox demon should be more special, right?
Xiao Xiao feels that this possibility is the greatest, so he can rest assured.
And that fox demon has lost a tail now and can't even possess it. It should be stable for a long time, right?
