Chapter 6 Sixth Night Immortal Tribulation

"Master, that couple wants to see you no matter what they say, thank you for your kindness." Through the curtain, the boy came to report in a panic. In the cap of the green robe, the prototype of the foxtail grass was revealed. It's really useless. Thanks to its five hundred years of cultivation, it still has many loopholes when transforming into a human form.Fortunately, it was snowing heavily outside, and the bonfire in the front hall was dim, so those few mortals with naked eyes could not see through. Facing the bronze mirror, I raised my eyebrows carefully, and lazily agreed: "Didn't you already tell me that I am a widow, is it convenient for me to meet guests?"

The little dog tail looked very embarrassed, "That...the lady said that she must thank you, if the master hadn't taken her in in this snowy day, the child in her stomach would definitely have lost..." Hearing this made me agitated. Think of me as a majestic green peach, after thousands of years of practice, I saw that I was about to achieve a true fruit, but I was told inexplicably that if I want to become a fairy, I still need to go through a calamity of destiny. So I eagerly went to beg Zhong Yu, the bastard stared at me for a long time, and after blackmailing me countless different grass elixir, he pinched his fingers lazily, saying that my catastrophe would be in the chaos of the Yin-Yang Pass in the month of Haixu in the Xinzi year down.

I asked him what day it was, but he refused to say anything. I had no choice but to come to this chaotic land of Yin-Yang Pass in advance to prepare.Flying here for a look, it is really a desolation. It is said that it used to be a forest, but it was destroyed by a fire many years ago, and no plants can grow anymore, and because of the rugged road, there are few people.It looked like a place that would be robbed, so I camped here. And I never treat myself badly, so I used magic to conjure up a big house, with several cranes and apes, countless rare grasses and beautiful flowers, and I grabbed a fine foxtail as a slave, and forced myself to live in this barren place. Opened up a paradise.

In the end, I was not happy yet, the winter snow fell suddenly, the sky and the earth were suddenly cold, and it lasted for three days and three nights without any sign of stopping.The biggest trouble this snow has brought me is that since that day, there have been one after another of travelers passing by seeking accommodation.I didn't see the door behind closed doors, and they kept knocking on the door. It's too much, to play this kind of trickery when I'm about to become a fairy, isn't it a clear threat to me?If I don't save it, I will lose my merits; but if I save it, the result is like this - countless troubles.I just want to go through the catastrophe quietly, but so many irrelevant people come out to disrupt the situation, I'm so annoying!

The little dog tail looked at me timidly: "That...Master, actually, have you ever thought that maybe your calamity lies with those people..." "What do you mean?" I raised my eyebrows. His voice immediately softened a little, he lowered his head and poked his fingers and said: "Well, look, that woman has a big belly and is about to give birth. Could it be that the baby in her belly is you, the owner?" I almost ran away: "Pig head! I'm a fairy! I'm a fairy! I'm not reincarnated to be a human!" Distraught by what he said, I simply got up and went to see the meddling couple.

Walking through the Chaoshou verandah, I was amazed in my heart that my spells were really mastered. Look at this fine mahogany, look at this ingenious carving, it is a palace compound, and the luxury is nothing more than that.In the midst of narcissism, a figure came into view and bowed to the ground: "Thank you Madam! Thank you Madam!" I took a look at him: the hem of the shoes is open, and the sideburns are too long. Such a person is either lazy or poor.Since this person has married a lady, it is probably the latter. The man hurriedly invited me into the hall, and when I stepped into the hall, I saw Wu Yaya and a group of people sitting on the ground around the bonfire, chatting, seeing me coming in, they all turned off their voices and looked over.

The little dog followed behind me and introduced: "This is my master." So a group of people got up to thank me one after another. I saw a woman with a big belly among them. I thought that this was probably the troublesome man who was clamoring to see me. Before I could speak, the woman came over and gave me a blessing: "I am a concubine. Mrs. Zhang thanks Madam for saving her life." I thought to myself that I had no choice but to take you in. I didn’t mean to be kind, but on the surface it was not easy to get angry, so I had to smile and said: "Where, the road is blocked by heavy snow, and it is inconvenient to travel. It is the so-called relying on parents at home and relying on friends when going out. She's a girl, but she also knows the words "justice and help, and it's right to lend a night to everyone..."

While talking about some scenes, there was a puff, and someone laughed. I frowned and looked at the person who was laughing, but I saw a white fox fur collar and royal blue silk satin. Among all the people in the hall, this person must have the most luxurious clothes; People are the most despicable! To say how despicable he is, one example will suffice. It is said that on a certain day of a certain year, this person suddenly ran to Nanshan, and clicked that fierce fox that had been entrenched for thousands of years, causing shock in the Three Realms, and everyone clapped their hands and sang praises.

Naturally, I was also extremely shocked. In my impression, although this person is a Taoist cultivator, he never took it as his duty to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. Sure enough, when I asked, he answered me with three words—it was too cold. In other words, the reason why he killed the vicious fox was purely because it was too cold and he happened to be short of a fur. After the vicious fox died, there was still a newborn fox cub in the nest, Zhong Yu thought about it, and actually stayed by his side to raise it.Naturally, everyone praised this move again. But I clearly saw him feeding the little fox very tenderly, while stroking the little fox's fur, smiling and saying: "What a nice fur, if it is bigger, it can be used as a pair of leather gloves."

I don’t know if the little fox also understood what he said, because it disappeared soon. I asked Zhong Yu, and Zhong Yu said, “It has escaped.” Then he added, “It’s summer now, don’t worry.” ...That is to say, he will catch it and come back in winter... To sum up, this Zhong Yu can be said to be the most cunning, shameless, self-serving, vulgar and unscrupulous human being I have come into contact with. Seeing him appearing here, my head suddenly became two big—— At such a critical time, why did he come here to join in the fun! While cursing him to die early, he looked at the woman's abdomen and felt relieved.

This fetus is the home of a female ghost who died in vain three hundred years ago, and has nothing to do with me. When I was in a good mood, I smiled a little more sincerely: "It's cold and boring, and there is still some fine wine in the cellar, why don't you bring it to cheer you up." Then I told the little dog tail, "Ah Cao , go get it quickly." He stared blankly at me for a while, then came to his senses, turned and left. I walked up to Zhong Yu and continued to smile: "I heard that the Taoist priest is very skilled in spells, but there is something strange about my back house. Can I invite the Taoist priest to take a look?" Zhong Yu shook his robe, and the soft fox fur overflowed like water, which made me envious.And his face, against the backdrop of fur color, is even more handsome, really fairy-like, extraordinary and refined. What a scourge it looks! "So, Madam, please lead the way." He said with a more sincere smile than me. I led the way in front, and he laughed all the way: "This house has become really good, has it consumed a lot of your spiritual energy? You really only spend your energy on the most boring things." I snorted coldly: "Grandma, I'm happy, can you care? What's more, I'm about to become a fairy, and I have as much spiritual power as I need to become a fairy queen, so do you care about this now?" Zhong Yuxi leaned over with a sullen face: "In that case, let's discuss it. Anyway, you don't want anything after becoming a fairy, so why don't you just take that ribbon..." "Don't even think about it!" I refused.Speaking of which, the reason why I knew Zhong Yu was precisely because of a ribbon. Thousands of years ago, there was a couple of lovers dating under my tree trunk. The passionate young man told the beautiful girl that he would come back to marry her after he passed the high school entrance examination. While swearing, he tied the royal blue ribbon around his waist to my branch. So, after the son left, the girl came to wait under the tree every day. Day after day, year after year. The ribbons were weathered, faded, and torn.But the girl still waited obsessively. At that time, I was still an ordinary peach tree, and that was the first time I witnessed the shamelessness and steadfastness of human beings.My sisters all like them and yearn for them, but for me, human beings are too complicated creatures, so complicated that I don't want to get involved at all. Then one day, the girl did not come.And since then, never came again.I think she is probably dead.Because, really too many years have passed. After I refined and became refined, I put away the ribbon. In fact, I didn’t like it very much. It’s just that a few years later, when an unbelievably beautiful human man came and asked me for the ribbon , but mysterious and sneaky, I decided not to give it. As a spirit monster, once someone gives something, it is tantamount to forming a relationship with human beings. And I, who aspires to become a fairy, how could I be contaminated with such troublesome things? Therefore, Zhong Yu has been pestering me, and I have never agreed.Moreover, seeing such a guy who claims to be omnipotent, only cheating and harming others, suffers from me alone, it feels really not ordinary. I was having a good time here, and I heard Zhong Yu's long sigh in my ears: "It's really... I planned to think that we two have a good friendship, and if I try to blind the eyes of the sky, I may help you find out when the catastrophe will come." ..." Want to provoke me with this?no way! "It doesn't matter, anyway, you said it happened this month. I have been waiting for a thousand years, so why would I care about this mere month?" "Maybe you can see what it is..." I bent my eyes and smiled sweetly: "It's okay. If you want to become a fairy, you have to take the test. So many seniors have passed the test and are in the fairy class, I think I'm fine." Zhong Yu looked at me with a pair of dark eyes like ink, for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Alright, then I will first wish Mrs. Tao a complete success and ascend to heaven." "Thank you." As soon as I finished saying this, I saw a white light descending from the sky. At the same time, there was a loud noise in my ears, and my body jumped back instinctively, hitting Zhong Yu's chest, ignoring the pain. First he called out in alarm: "Tianlei???" Turning his head and looking closely, he saw that the place where he was standing had been smashed into a big hole by the thunder, and a large piece of the ground was sunken.And the corridor that I transformed has also weathered into ashes and no longer exists. I was so startled by this abnormality that I quickly grabbed Zhong Yu by the collar and asked, "Could it be that the so-called catastrophe is, is it five thunderbolts???" Zhong Yu bent his eyes with a smile, and smiled like I did before: "It's okay, Xiao Taotao, since those seniors who have become immortals can survive, you must be fine too." This sarcastic bastard!Seeing the dark clouds billowing in the sky, and the thunderbolt hidden, it seemed that the thunderbolt just now was just a prelude, and there would be more violent ones to come, so I turned around and ran back to the front hall without saying a word. There are at least a dozen human beings gathered there, plus there are still unborn babies. It is the place with the most yang energy and the most living creatures. Even the so-called catastrophe has restrictions, that is, it cannot destroy the balance of the three realms.In other words, if this catastrophe is aimed specifically at me, then it cannot involve other creatures. At this moment, what place is safer than staying with human beings? I ran all the way and hurried back to the front hall. The little dog tail was pouring wine for everyone. Seeing me running in a hurry, he made a questioning expression. But as soon as I stepped on the threshold, I immediately felt a completely different aura. Outside, the clouds were clearly low and the thunder was approaching, but there was only the slightest sound of wind in the hall. "Did you...did you hear thunder just now?" I asked tentatively. The pregnant woman quickly said, "No, did it thunder?" I made up my mind, it seems that the thunder and lightning just now really came for me, so hiding here now is the safest.Thinking of this, I took the wine bowl from the dog's tail and said: "I'm bored in the backyard by myself, the night is long, why don't I just sit around with you to keep warm, and tell some anecdotes I've seen in my life?" The woman smiled and said: "We are talking, and it would be great if my wife would like to listen." I sat cross-legged by the stove, and someone else sat down beside me, and when I turned around, it turned out to be Zhong Yu.He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Then why don't you just tell some stories about ghosts and monsters, maybe I can answer them for everyone." This guy started to show off again, for fear that others would not know his powerful mana.But having said that, he is indeed the human being with the highest spells for hundreds of years, controlling ghosts, hunting fierce foxes, born with divine eyes, and able to see past lives and future lives.Even I asked him for help in order to know the time of the catastrophe. Now that I think about it, that ribbon is probably the only thing I can hold him back. I don't know why he wants to get it. As soon as I sat down, the guests began to tell stories. The first one is about a businessman who travels between the north and the south to do medicine business. The story he told was: His neighbor is also a wealthy man who deals in boats.There is only one daughter under his knees, because he has a good relationship with Zuo Xiang, so after the neighbor was imprisoned, he sent his daughter to Zuo Xiang's home for foster care.Zuo Xiang has two sons, the eldest son is wild and unrestrained, and the second son shocks the world.The young lady naturally got along well with the second son.So after the neighbor was released from prison, he conspired with the left minister to betroth his daughter to his second son.Unexpectedly, on the eve of the wedding, a fire suddenly burned down the Tonglou where the young lady lived, and the young lady could not escape and died. I frowned, and suddenly felt that this story was a bit familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.And...it's a ghost story, it's not scary at all! The businessman said: "Since the lady died, my neighbor was overwhelmed with grief and soon fell ill. In order to cure his illness, he moved his family to the south, and the garden was barren. However, crying can be heard every night. It came from the original residence of the young lady. One night, I was watching the moon in the courtyard, and heard the other side of the wall crying again. The crying made me flustered, so I moved a ladder to the wall and took a look at the other side of the wall... " The pregnant woman asked, "What did you see?" The businessman said: "I saw a woman sitting in the ruins, her figure was thin, and her facial features could not be seen clearly due to the backlight. I thought this could not be a female ghost, right? So I mustered up the courage to ask: 'Are you a lady from the Liu family? Why are you crying? You were wronged?' Unexpectedly, she turned her head and looked more surprised than me: "What did you say? I cried because my lady died." So I asked again: "Your lady?" Then who are you?" She said: "My name is Xiao Chao, and I am a maid from the Liu family of the ship king's family. I am here to guard the spirit of the young lady." A few days ago, I heard that the eldest son of Zuo Xiang's family also died of illness. But it is strange to say that since that day, the crying in the backyard has stopped." The pregnant woman sighed: "In these days, such a loyal servant is really rare..." Zhong Yu smiled faintly, and said: "What kind of servant, it is the lady herself, oh no, it should be said to be the ghost." The businessman was surprised: "How did the Taoist know?" "I ask you, is she wearing a red dress?" The businessman thought about it carefully: "Indeed." "You can't see her face clearly, not because of the dim light, but...she has no face at all. Her face has been scorched in the fire." There was a panting sound all around.I thought to myself that Zhong Yu really committed a crime, making the story of a loyal servant mourning the Lord so spooky, don't forget, there is a pregnant woman here, what if she is frightened and the child in her womb is affected? ? Zhong Yu suddenly turned his gaze to me: "Actually, you also recognize that young lady." "What?" He raised the corners of his lips, stretched his eyebrows, and his eyes sparkled brightly.Whenever he showed this expression, I knew he was definitely going to play tricks again, and sure enough, his next sentence was: "You will know later." Pooh!This flower fairy doesn't even bother to know! The second storyteller is a white-haired old man in ragged clothes, not like a passer-by, but a beggar. He took a deep breath, and looked far away: "What I want to say has been decades ago... That's right, at that time, there was a famous beauty named Tongtong in our Western Kingdom, who was born in Shi Kingdom. The prince failed to propose to her, so in a rage, he sent troops to attack. Poor Miss Tong's father fought desperately for seven days and seven nights, but was finally defeated. When the city was broken, Miss Tong went up to the tower alone, and jumped off the building. Poor, it is said that the brains flowed all over the place, and also turned pale the face of the Third Prince of the Shi Kingdom." I frowned again, why does this story sound familiar? The pregnant woman said: "I seem to know about this, because there is still the incense tomb of Miss Tong outside the gate of Yancheng, and many people will offer a bouquet of flowers when they pass by." There was a strange expression on the beggar's face, and his voice became blurred: "Actually, I have met Miss Tong. She goes to the temple with her family to offer incense every year. I have seen her several times with my own eyes. Therefore, I am very concerned about her facial features. Appearance, deeply engraved in the heart." The pregnant woman covered her lips and smiled, "So it's the lady you admired when you were young!" "What I want to talk about is not this, but—about seven or eight years after Ms. Tong's death, I wandered to the north. At that time, the plague was everywhere, and I was unfortunately infected. Just when I thought I was going to die, I saw it again. she!" "What?" Everyone shouted in unison. "It's unbelievable, but I will never admit it. It is impossible to forget such a beautiful person. Moreover, although seven or eight years have passed, her appearance is not old at all. She is still the same as when she was fifteen or sixteen years old. I followed a luthier in white clothes and walked into the ruined temple to treat those of us who were infected with the plague and had no money to treat them. I can still remember the medicine she gave me with her own hands. Ryo's dexterous fingers, and the warmth and beauty when she raised her head and smiled at me..." "Could it be a ghost?" The beggar was silent for a long time before saying: "She is definitely not a ghost. No ghost can be so warm, so, so warm..." Zhong Yu laughed again, rubbed his nose and said, "You are right, she is indeed no longer a ghost." The beggar said in shock: "The Taoist priest knows again?" "By chance, she has obtained the body of a half-immortal, so of course she can't be regarded as a ghost." Speaking of this, he cast a mysterious glance at me, "Speaking of which, Madam and her also had a chance." What and what?How can I have no idea?I was confused, but I didn't ask, because he was waiting for me to ask, so as to take the opportunity to laugh at me and blackmail me, so I didn't give him this chance! At this time, the third person also started her story. It was an old woman. "When I was young, I used to work in a rich family. The master's surname was Gong, and the young lady entered the palace and later became the queen, but the most capable in this family was the Seventh Young Master. Not only was he good-looking, he was well-educated, and he also had many talents. fell in love with a blind Le Nu, and married her despite the opposition of the whole family, but unexpectedly, the bride ran away on the wedding night..." Just as I was about to frown, I saw Zhong Yu's clear and clear eyes flashed towards me for a long time. I guess he was going to say that he had something to do with me again, so I quickly straightened my body and continued as if it had nothing to do with me. listen. But in fact, if the first two are just a faint sense of familiarity, this one, I can basically tell the later development-seven years later, the runaway bride appeared. "What's even more unexpected is that seven years later, that girl appeared again!" The old woman said in a slightly exaggerated tone.Look, I guessed it right. Oh no, I'm not guessing, but I don't know what's going on, anyway, I just know the plot behind it. "Not only did she appear, but her eyesight also recovered! The seventh young master was naturally overjoyed and married her again, but the people below us discussed that the woman might have returned from a dead body! Because she walked without making a sound at all, My ears are so sharp that I can hear voices from hundreds of feet away... The most important thing is that a few years later, I was transferred to the ancestor worship hall to clean. The shelf was opened to the side, revealing a secret door. Although I knew that big families had secrets that were more or less invisible, I just couldn’t hold back my curiosity, so I went in and took a peek. As a result...you guess what I saw?" "What did you see?" The pregnant woman responded cooperatively. The old woman lowered her voice, "I saw... there is an ice cellar inside, and there is a crystal coffin, and our Seventh Lady is lying in it!" "Ah!" Everyone screamed in unison. "I was so scared that I crawled out and didn't dare to tell anyone! The next day I found an excuse to quit the job and go back to the country! It's terrible, tell me, what is this all about Huh? They are all dead, but they still appear in front of everyone..." The old woman trembled, rubbing her hands and feet and said, "This can be said to be the worst nightmare of my life. Fortunately, it has been decades , I heard that the Gong family did not fall after the death of the late emperor, so I dared to say it, it's terrible, it's terrible..." Zhong Yu smiled and said, "Actually, old woman, you don't have to be afraid. All they meet are ghosts, but you are the only one who is really a human being." The old woman opened her eyes wide: "What? You said that the person in the coffin was a person?" "The person in the coffin is not the same person you saw later. The person in the coffin died naturally, but the one outside is really alive." The old woman was at a loss: "I still don't understand." Zhong Yu rolled his eyes and pointed at me: "Then Madam will tell you carefully." "Hey!" I almost jumped up, "What's none of my business? I don't know!" "You really don't know?" The bright eyes made me feel like I was seen through.I felt guilty for a moment, but I still straightened my waist and said, "Yes, I don't know, I just don't know!" I made it clear that I was arguing with him, but he turned his head to the side and said in an extremely light-hearted way: "If you don't know, you don't know. Whose turn is it next? Keep talking..." "What I'm going to tell... is a story I personally experienced..." The speaker was sitting in the corner with a clear voice, so I couldn't help turning my head to take a closer look. It was a woman in her early thirties, dressed in plain clothes, with picturesque features, gentle demeanor and elegant demeanor, which made people feel good after seeing her. As if sensing my gaze, she raised her eyes and smiled at me, a familiar feeling welled up in her heart, this time, it was more real. I have definitely seen her! absolute! But why the hell can I just not remember when I saw it?Logically speaking, I am a goblin who is about to become a fairy, with extraordinary spirituality, how could I lose my memory? I was extremely anxious in my heart, and her crisp voice, with its unique gentleness, was gently transmitted to my ears—— "Do you believe it? If a person still has deep concerns and obsessions for the mortal world after death, the soul will remain in the world. Actually, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it... because, I Met my sister. Actually, she died two years before that." I remembered... The woman seemed to have died of illness.Because she wholeheartedly admired the Ninth Prince of the dynasty, so she spent three years embroidering an ingenious picture scroll with a pair of skillful hands that is unique in the world, and presented it to the emperor.The emperor asked her what reward she wanted, and she said that she wanted to marry the Ninth Prince. "The king of Qin didn't agree, so my sister couldn't get sick after returning home, and died three days later. Two years later, I followed my uncle into the palace and was ordered to treat the terminally ill Ninth Prince. I saw it with my own eyes like that. He." When the woman said this, there was a lot of unspeakable expressions on her brows, it was a tender feeling that she admired, and she was melancholy because she couldn't see it, "My sister didn't love the wrong person, and the Ninth Prince did. He is a dragon and phoenix among people, and what is even more rare is that he has a pure and beautiful heart like gold. However, he is too sick, all medicines have failed, and he is about to die. Before he died, he made a request , I want to go back to Beijiang. I followed him to Beijiang, and there, I saw my sister. My sister, who had been dead for two years, floated in the air and appeared in front of me and the Ninth Prince. Finally, I used my own The last soul... saved him..." The pregnant woman stood up in surprise: "What did you say? It was rumored that the Ninth Prince found Tianshan snow lotus in northern Xinjiang and recovered from a serious illness after eating it. Is it false?" "That was a white lie we told in order to stabilize the hearts of the people so as not to cause turmoil. But in fact, the person who really saved him was my sister." When the woman said this, her watery eyes flicked across everyone's faces , with a tactful smile, "However, you can also treat me as a lunatic and talk nonsense here." The pregnant woman said: "Miss, don't worry, what we heard today, we will forget it tomorrow when we leave the house, and we won't tell anyone a word!" I thought to myself, if this is really spread, every story is enough to kill a lot of people! The woman breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes suddenly became gloomy: "My sister... was very unwilling to die. However, I still envy her..." This time, before I could speak, I took the initiative to turn my face in his direction, waiting for his meanness and teasing, but unexpectedly, he didn't look at me, his eyes fell on the woman, and he was unexpectedly focused. I don't know why, this discovery made me feel a little irritated, so I coughed and turned to look at the pregnant woman: "It's your turn, tell a story too!" The pregnant woman smiled shyly and said, "I'm a wild woman from a mountain village. How can I tell stories? Besides, I usually farm at sunrise and rest at sunset. My life is very ordinary, and nothing major has ever happened..." "Then why did you come to this place?" A peasant woman went out on a long journey with a big belly, looking for death? ! The pregnant woman sighed, and said dejectedly: "Don't mention it. I originally wanted to go to Tianyi Shengguan to find a good name for him before the baby was born. Who knew that when I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I heard that Guanzhuzhuang The immortal passed away..." I was taken aback: "What? Zhuang Wei is dead?" The pregnant woman asked in surprise, "What? Madame knows Guanzhu Zhuang?" I know...of course I know.Completely different from the philandering guy around him, that Zhuang Wei is really a master, his character is so good that there is nothing to say, he treats both people and demons equally, he will not abuse mercy, but he always treats each other as equals.In short, he is a human being whom even those who hate human beings like me appreciate from the bottom of their hearts. Unexpectedly, he died. Strange, logically speaking, with his cultivation base, it is impossible for him to die so young, let alone die suddenly... I looked suspiciously at Zhong Yu, and he happened to be looking at me too, so the two of us communicated with each other as follows—— Me: Hey, does Zhuang Wei's death have anything to do with you? Zhong Yu: Hey, hey, why does his death have to be related to me? Me: Hmph, don't deny it, you've always been jealous of him!Although his magic power is not as good as yours, but he has only cultivated for ten years, and he is about to catch up with your hundreds of years of Taoism. If he can live longer, he will definitely surpass you!So, you took a chance to kill him before it happened, didn't you? I was joking, but I didn't expect his expression to change slightly, revealing a throbbing expression - no way?Is it really what I said? At this moment, the hall door was suddenly knocked open with a loud noise, and I jumped back instinctively, fearing that the thunder would come in and kill me. As a result, he stabilized his body and looked back, but it turned out to be a young man with red lips and white teeth. With my advanced knowledge, I can tell at a glance that the boy is not a human being, but a fox demon.Wait, let me take a closer look, it looks familiar!Isn't this the orphan fox that Zhong Yu adopted before? Hasn't it already escaped?Why did it appear again?It's amazing, how dare you return to Zhong Yu's place to die? Before I was overwhelmed with surprise, he rushed over and grabbed Zhong Yu by the collar, asking, "What time? Where?" There were two questions without beginning or end, but Zhong Yu understood them. Not only did he understand, but he also answered with a smile: "On the third day of April in Xin Zinian, Shenjia Village, Wang's family." After hearing this, the fox demon left like a whirlwind, and it came and went as fast as it came. Everyone in the hall seemed to be unable to see him, and they still maintained their original postures, drinking and talking. So I frowned and continued to make eye contact with Zhong Yu: Hey, hey, what's going on? He raised his eyebrows: You will know soon. I frowned: how fast is soon? He raised his eyebrows: Immediately. I was just thinking about how to toss my eyebrows next, when a thunderbolt slammed down, and the transformed roof was annihilated in an instant, I was so scared that I flew up quickly, wouldn't it?Isn't it safe even here? I was worrying about how to escape, but I saw a ding dong, and the blue arc swelled like an umbrella, covering me and everyone in the hall, but it turned out that Zhong Yu used his magic to create a barrier for us. "What's going on?" I no longer cared about making eye contact, and changed to the most direct words. At such a critical juncture, he was still in a hurry. While holding the formula, he stretched out his index finger and pointed at the dark sky: "Didn't see it? Heavenly Tribulation." "Bastard, of course I know it's a catastrophe! What I'm asking is—why did you come here? There are all human beings here!" "Oh," he tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and finally shrugged his shoulders, "Probably God was also moved by your determination to become a fairy, so I didn't care about these people and rushed I want to fulfill you." ...I really want to jump over and strangle this man! But as soon as my mind moved, his warning eyes had already thrown over: "If you want the barrier to be fine, it's best not to touch me now." Threatening me, you are cruel! Looking at the sky full of thunder, I felt a chill down my spine. I am definitely not the opponent of Tianlei. Oh my god, what ghostly robbery did you arrange for me!Why is it the scariest lightning spell of all spells?That's all for lightning, why did you hack me?What crime did I commit to be bombarded by five thunders? Seeing another lightning strike, even though I was in the barrier, I was still so frightened that I subconsciously shrank back and hid under Zhong Yu's sleeve.He laughed and said, "Hey, hey, do you really treat me as an umbrella?" I grabbed his sleeve tightly and said, "What should I do?" "What else should I do? Do you want to become a fairy?" "Think!" I said firmly. "Then obediently go out and be struck by lightning." He was infinitely relaxed. "But I don't want to be struck by lightning!" I was so wronged. "Then you can't become a fairy." He said lightly. "Hey..." I shook his sleeve, "what's going on with all this?" Zhong Yu sighed, his eyes fell on the people in the hall who still knew nothing about it, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn and serious: "Let me tell you frankly. In fact, your so-called catastrophe is not thunder." "What? Then where did the thunder come from?" "Your real calamity is self-sacrifice." "What?" I didn't understand anymore. He patiently explained to me: "Because you are very spiritual and deeply cultivated, but you are naturally selfish, indifferent, ungrateful, sympathetic, responsible, and compassionate..." Every time he said a word, my face darkened. "Arrogant, narcissistic, pampered and self-willed, which is what humans commonly call 'tsundere' after thousands of years..." What's that? Zhong Yu sighed again, and finally stopped belittling: "So, if you want to become a fairy, you must first do good, and have a compassionate heart that is willing to sacrifice yourself to save others. So, when the thunder comes, can you become a fairy?" , It depends on whether you are willing to stand up and sacrifice yourself to save others for these people in the hall." Now, I finally understood: "You mean, if I go to help them withstand this thunder, it will be considered a catastrophe?" "That's right. Otherwise, why do you think it snows so much on a good day in April, and why do so many people travel far away to come to your house at this time? All of this was originally arranged by God. your ordeal." I slowly digested his words, and thinking about it this way, it is true. Zhong Yudao: "Those people were selected for a reason. From a certain point of view, they have more or less seen the secret. The secret must not be revealed, and the three realms need balance. So, if you refuse to save, They will really be hit by thunder, which is commonly known as killing people." I trembled: "God actually did such a despicable and shameless thing?" Zhong Yu glanced lazily at those slender Danfeng eyes: "What do you think?" I burst into tears. "But I heard that no matter how strong the mana is, if it is hit by a thunderbolt, its soul will be wiped out!" "That's right." "How can I become a fairy when my soul is gone?" He forgot to hide under the excitement, and just stood up from the bottom of his sleeve, the thunder light came down and hit the barrier. I don't know if Zhong Yu did it on purpose, but he pointed his finger With a flick, the barrier opened, and the thunder landed on my feet impartially. I screamed in fright, and quickly hid under my sleeve. "Do you want to become a fairy?" He said seductively. "Think..." But I was not quite sure. "Then go out and give Lei Chi." He was infinitely relaxed. "But I don't want my soul to fly away..." I was so wronged. "What's the matter? Anyway, when you become a fairy, you will gather again." He understated. I was startled, then excited: "Really?" "The so-called immortality is bound to reshape the spirit." When he said this, I suddenly felt courageous, and I just had a little expectation, but his next sentence was cold water: "However, the five thunders are the most painful thing in the world. Severe punishment. Ordinary people are struck, at most it is a moment of pain, and they die immediately, and it will not be too uncomfortable. But you are a catastrophe, and I am afraid that you will have to stand upright until the five lightning strikes are over, and your consciousness will also disappear.还是清醒的，到时候眼睁睁地看着自己碎裂，漂浮，重组，啧啧啧……” 我的脸色肯定变得比他的白狐裘还要白了。 钟于又道：“而且，被雷劈过后，你的元神虽然还在，但形体可就要消失了。你现在的所谓美貌……呵呵，恐怕也不复存在。” 啊啊啊，他说到最关键的地方了！我连忙捂住了自己的脸，这可是我生平最得意的东西啊！作为一株桃树，我本就得天地之美，而幻化成形后，更是美丽不可方物，怎、怎怎么可以就此毁掉？ “也就是说……”我的小心肝颤啊颤的，“就算我成仙了，也不会是现在这个样子了？” "certainly." “那、那那会是什么样子？” 他想了想，“难说。天界众仙当属嫦娥最美，她也不会允许有第二个女仙比她更美。” 我泪：“我觉得嫦娥长得很一般啊……” 他冲我眨了眨眼睛：“坦白说，我也那么觉得。” 完了，那得一般成什么样子啊。正在绝望，偏偏他还再加一句：“那是从好了说。从不好了说，也有可能像赤脚大仙之流……” 我立刻做了决定：“我不要成仙了！” “真的？”他挑着眉毛。 “真的！”说这话时我神色悲壮，如英勇就义的烈士，“我既不想被雷劈，也没打算要救人。既然我现在法力不弱，想干吗就干吗，过得这么逍遥，又何必非要成仙去凑那热闹。所以，我决定了，不成仙了！” 我发誓我绝对不是错觉，因为当我说完这话后，钟于眼中闪过一丝狡猾的笑意，我暗叫不好，心想不会是上他什么当了吧？这时天上的云层豁然开朗，黑幕褪去，雷声消止，风雪停歇。 I was dumbfounded. What?这天劫去得也太快了吧？居然不给人反悔的时间？ 视线里，明露春晖般的钟于，抖抖他的华丽皮裘，对我拱手行了一礼：“恭喜桃道友，天劫消散，你可以继续在人间逍遥了。” why…… 我忽然地…… 好想流泪？ 我就这样留在了人间。 唯一得道的机会也没了。 每每想到这点，我就无比后悔，但是，如果再让我选择一次，恐怕还是会逃避。 岁月漫漫，无所事事，我就开始对某事刨根究底——那就是，为什么钟于说，我和那些故事里说的主角们都曾有机缘。 然而，无论我怎么查，都查不出端倪。于是只好厚着脸皮去求钟于。 他自然对我百般刁难，最后在我忍辱负重地奉上无数宝贝后，他才肯开口。 “你还记不记得自己最早是长在哪里的？” 还能是哪？某个小镇的路口呗，一般人都在那送别。否则那丝带的主人怎么会把丝带系我身上？ “那你是什么时候修炼成精的？” 哇，那真的是太久远了，我都不太记得了，大概……大概就是那少女死后不久吧？ “你成精能跑能动后，去了哪里？” 一般那种情况下，肯定是去找个灵气更胜的地方继续修真吧？ 钟于看着我，眼神戏谑：“错了。” "What?" “你能行走后，就立志一定要在幻化成形时变成世间最美的样子，于是，别的精怪找的是灵气之地，而你找的却是美人之所。” 我瞠目结舌，但反过头一想，又好像的确是我会做出来的事情。 “于是，你先是去了西国最负盛名的美人——童小姐家，那时你还不能变形，所以乖乖地以桃树之躯在她园中一待数年，她还在你身上打过秋千。” 他这么一说，我倒真的想起来了。啊，没错，我说怎么对那个故事那么耳熟呢，我亲眼见证了氏国的皇子与童小姐的初见，就在我树下啊！ 钟于叹道：“可惜童小姐命薄，不久就香消玉殒了，于是你又跑到宫府，本来是想找他们家那个出了名的女儿的，没想到那女儿选进宫当皇后去了，你本想走，却看见了宫七少爷。他虽是男儿，却也美绝人寰。你就不舍的走了，在宫家一待十年。” 我不甚唏嘘，原来如此。难怪，我觉得那老妇人说的故事也熟！ “此后，你又辗转去了柳府和九皇子府……” etc!我发现问题了：“你说我去了柳府，我信！可是，九皇子……那是十几年前发生的事情吧？我还不至于失忆到这么短年前的事都给忘记了！” 钟于的眼神忽然幽深起来，凝望着我，沉声道：“你真的没有忘记？” "No!" “那么……为何你一直记不起来我是谁？” "What?" “也一直不记得为什么我执意要你的丝带？” “啥跟啥？” 他垂下眼帘，幽幽一叹，声音里竟无限寂寥：“桃儿啊桃儿，你果然忘记了我，忘得彻彻底底……” 我身上一阵寒毛倒立，忽觉无比恐怖，难道我和钟于也曾有什么机缘不成？难道我所遇见的、经历的、邂逅的，都是冥冥中早有注定？ “究竟怎么回事？”我问得无比诚恳。 “想知道吗？”他声音怅然。 I nodded quickly. “无论付出什么代价都想知道吗？” 我继续点头。 “那么，先把那条丝带给我吧。” 我有点犹豫，却见他表情凝重，不似虚假，目光亦如月光般温柔而悲伤：“那条丝带是我们的缘起，拿给我，我告诉你。” 我心想那条丝带实在不是什么重要之物，又急于知道真相，因此就拿出来交给了他。 指尖相触，他的指腹从我手背上划过，分明没有雷，我却觉得自己又像是被雷劈中了，一阵战栗。 钟于拿着丝带，看了很久，瞳色一点点的由深变浅，最后，好看的眉毛斜斜挑开，长长的睫毛抬起，看着我，忽而一笑。 这一笑，我的心顿时下沉——太熟悉了！So familiar!So familiar! because-- “笨小桃，果然很好骗啊。”钟于笑眯眯地如是道。 没错，他骗人时都是这副笑容，我认识他那么久，怎么竟忘了眼前这个是天底下最擅长欺骗的生物？怎么就傻乎乎地听信了他的话而把我面对他时唯一的王牌给了他？ “还给我！”我立刻伸手就抢。 他却身形一动，瞬间飞到了十丈开外，拿着丝带冲我笑：“笨小桃，你不想知道真相了吗？” 我连忙停脚。 他悠悠道：“看在你这么听话的分上，我就大发慈悲告诉你吧。你之所以和你的姐妹不同，她们生长老死全无意识，并不是因为你比她们都有灵性，而是当年有情之人将他们的誓言和承诺通过这条丝带系到了你的枝头上。你沾染了人类最美好强大的感情，再加上那女子日复一日的守候等待，所以，她的灵性转到了你身上，才促成了你最初的魂魄。” 我无法开口，无法动弹，只能听着他低迷撩人的声线，继续一一道来。 “但你毕竟魂魄不齐，因此待得成精后也是浑浑噩噩，机缘巧合下就去了童府、宫府、柳府和秦府。在那里，寄托了人类最深挚的相思，你吸取了他们的相思，终于灵性大成。所以，你所谓的修炼千年，前九百年都只是棵普通的树而已，唯独这几十年，是真正的升华。魂魄未完成前你记不清那些事情，很正常。” 这家伙的笑容，还真是刺眼啊！我真的很想、很想扑过去掐死他。 “那你为什么会出现在我面前？” 他的手指一转，丝带随风一舞，我眼皮一跳。 然后他笑：“为什么？当然是因为——我缺个女仆啊。” What?我彻底傻眼。 “既然有现成的拥有强大法术、能在瞬间变出这么大一个宅院且又长得很养眼的妖精在，我干吗还要去苦苦寻觅？所以——”他又冲我眨眨眼睛，“恭喜你，小桃桃，你变成上天入地独一无二天生异禀神通广大无所不能又英俊不凡品味极高生活优渥的本大人的式神了，还不高兴吗？” I bother!我为什么要高兴？正要反唇相斥，他将丝带轻轻一扯，我顿觉痛不欲生，差点连元神也散了。No way?难道说，这个丝带—— 他睨着我，说出了我最恐惧的话：“没错，这个就是你的元神，用人类的话来说，就是心脏。你给了我你的心脏，以后自然就得乖乖听我的话了。不然啊，呵呵……”说到这里，伸手摸了摸他的皮裘。 我想起那皮裘的前身，顿时泪流。 我是不是天下最笨的妖精我不知道。 但我肯定一件事——我肯定是天下最倒霉的妖精。 因为，我的天劫，不是什么五雷轰顶，而是，遇到这样一个恐怖下贱无耻阴毒的人类啊啊啊啊啊啊……
