A chant suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Amitabha."

The sound rang outside the courtyard gate. The old and compassionate voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the three people inside the house.

Without saying a word, the old man kicked the scholar on the ground toward the gate of the courtyard with cleverness. He jumped high like a night owl, shrank into an inch in one step, and flew out of the house and flew out of the wall. He did not escape along the roof of the alley to the distance, but fell into the alley.

The former has too broad vision. Once the soldiers patrolling the night-time military town will be alarmed, the city will soon be filled with wind and rain. Maybe several monks will be dispatched to participate in the roundup. It is too dangerous.

In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.

After an old monk broke the door bolt, the gate of the courtyard opened. The old monk held the young scholar who was kicked away with both hands, placed it gently on the ground, his fingers were flying, and helped lock the acupoints to prevent the qi and blood from boiling, affecting the internal organs.

Then feed the young man a golden pill.

Finally protected his life.

The old monk glanced at the front room and gently brushed his sleeves. The lady Hu in the inner room finally regained her freedom.

After doing all this, the old monk suddenly rose up from the ground, his cassock and sleeves fluttered, and began to pursue the traces of the murderer.

The middle-aged Taoist priest sat on the threshold, looked at the young man limping on the ground, and stretched out his thumb, "Boy, that's OK!"

The Han Shi pulled the corners of his mouth, and laughing was even worse than crying.

Hu Niangzi, who ran out of the room, squatted beside him, his eyes were wet, and he bit his lips tightly. She did not say anything grateful, but just looked at the young man with more warmth and gentleness than the polite and etiquette in the past.

"At the fifteenth day of Hu Ji, he was the only one in spring. At this time, the scenery is extremely wonderful."

The Taoist priest made an inappropriate voice, destroying the atmosphere. He only heard him put away his frivolous chuckling and said earnestly: "Miss Hu, I, I and Lao Ba Du, are your life-saving benefactors, and I can repay the kindness of water, let alone such great kindness, right? Lao Ba Du Du dares not drink, but I love to drink. So from now on, I will always get a 20% discount on drinking with you. Isn't it too much?"

After hearing the sound, the woman had to turn her head and squeeze out a smile to the Taoist priest, nodding and said, "It's not too much."

The Taoist priest who did not do anything at all continued, "In addition, I have a reluctant invitation. Alas, it takes at least twenty taels of silver to customize a plaque in Tiebei Jun Town. Fortunately, I have accumulated almost all of them, so I only need to raise eighteen taels of silver. Then, hang a plaque of "Tao Temple" to see if the old bald donkey dares to compete with me for territory... So, Mrs. Hu, these eighteen taels of silver?"

The Taoist priest rubbed his fingers on each other, and his smiling face was smooth.

The woman smiled bitterly and said, "I can pay the money, but..."

She is not a fool, how could she not know that her true life-savior is the kind-hearted old monk? If she really takes the temple by the Taoist priest in front of her and turns it into a Taoist temple, making the old monk homeless, wouldn’t it mean that she would repay kindness and grudges?

Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest waved his sleeves and did not give the woman a chance to say more, "Just wait for your words, don't worry about the life and death of the old bald donkey, don't worry, as long as I have a legitimate plaque, I will allow that guy to continue to stay temporarily. Humph! If I hadn't seen his age, I would have used my immortal magic to make a hole in his bald head with just a snap of my finger. Do you believe it?"

The woman had no choice but to shake her head and stop engaging with her. Anyway, the truth would not make sense.

———

Back in the alley, Chen Qingniu and Xie Shiji were walking back.

Xie Shiji asked, "Young Master, why didn't you take action just now?"

Chen Qingniu explained with a smile: "The old monk is a real master at first sight and will never stand by. But it's a pity that the flower-picking thief was a little poor and had nothing to see."

It turned out that the old thief had been stabbed into the shoulder by Xie Shiji and nailed to the wall of the alley. After Chen Qingniu's torture, he did not get any useful secret inside information. This person was just a habitual wild cultivator who was wandering around and committed crimes. Because he was extremely cautious, he only dared to choose the jaspers of the small family who were not visible at most. Most of them were ordinary women and women with outstanding appearances in their families, and they often did not kill them. After succeeding, they quickly evacuated, so they were not targeted by the monks of the Great Sui court. Chen Qingniu asked carefully. In order to survive, the old thief did not dare to hide his answers. Of course, he was stabbed to death by Xie Shiji in the end. At this time, the body should still be sitting at the foot of the wall in an unknown alley, dying with his eyes open.

Xie Shiji suddenly said, "It's a pity."

Chen Qingniu turned his head and said, "Are you talking about the hero of that young scholar saving the beauty?"

Xie Shiji smiled.

Chen Qingniu jumped up and punched her chestnut on her head, "Your son, am I the kind of person who can't walk when you see a beautiful woman? By the way, I will have to go to the military camp tomorrow. You can continue to pay attention to the yard."

Xie Shiji blinked and nodded.

Chen Qingniu took great strides ahead, swaying like a crab.

The burly woman had a smile on her lips.

———

In a small alley, the old monk looked down at the corpse. There was no disgust on his face, but he could only compassion, folded his hands together, and silently chanted: "Amitabha."

All sentient beings are suffering.

———

The smoke of gunpowder gradually rose on the border, but for most residents of Tiebei Jun Town, the sound of war drums and horse hooves is still too far away.

The general's office suddenly became busy, and from time to time there were post cavalry carrying military orders and spies, and whipped out of the military town gates with fast horses, which revealed a little tension and made the people look at each other side.

Chen Qingniu, who was visiting and training troops in the military camp, accidentally received a letter from Xie Shiji personally to the He family, signed by He Huxian. He thought it was the pseudonym of the fox fairy. The letter said that she had an important matter of life and death, and she had to discuss it with Chen Qingniu immediately without delay. The sooner she met, the better. It was urgent.

Chen Qingniu had to take sick leave, took off his armor, put on a casual casual suit, and took Xie Shiji to the camp site. The two cavalry rushed to the Iron Monument Army Town twenty miles away. After entering the city, they quickly returned to the courtyard at the end of Huitou Lane. After opening the door, they saw two fox spirits in Luqi and Hongsleeved foxes laughing and playing. The white-clothed fox fairy was playing chess with puppets and puppets. Behind him was a disciple who had never appeared in the courtyard. The fox charming aura was relatively weak, and the shade under the tree was cool, and there was a ghost and two foxes, focusing on chess. There was no scene of being at the critical moment of life and death.

After Xie Shiji closed the door, Chen Qingniu strode towards the stone table, frowned and asked, "What's the matter? You have to call me?"

The fox fairy turned around and said slowly: "The nine towns on the border of Xiliang are connected to the front line and maintain an offensive posture against the Sui Dynasty. Especially now, the Sui Dynasty is in a turbulent and insecurity, and internal and external difficulties. It seems that it can be in front of the strong Zhuque, and it is lucky to not be destroyed..."

Chen Qingniu said in a deep voice: "Please speak directly!"

The fox fairy didn't care, put down the crystal chess piece sandwiched between her fingers and stood up behind her, "But for some reason, I recently felt an unknown sign, like a conspiracy that had been planned for many years, and it was finally about to kick off..."

Chen Qingniu interrupted again and said angrily: "To put it bluntly, in the dispute between the two countries, who wins and who loses, what does it have to do with you?"

The fox fairy wanted to speak but stopped, and finally said vaguely: "The crux of the matter is precisely... the trend of the war in Xiliang is related to me... In short, I am a pattern of death if I move, and I cannot escape. However, some of my children and the He family are not involved in it. As long as I move out of here as soon as possible, there may not be a glimmer of hope."

Chen Qingniu said bluntly: "What's up to me?"

The fox fairy smiled, "Of course, I can't get up early without profit. I roughly know the temperament of Master Chen..."

Chen Qingniu interjected for the third time and made a decisive move: "The military practice I am carrying out is the top priority! Once it is interrupted, the seriousness of the sequelae and the long-term disaster are beyond your imagination!"

The fox fairy sighed, as if it was expected. Although she was very disappointed, her face was not despair.

It's just a little regretful.

Just like some things that can make good things better or prevent bad things from getting worse, fail to do.

Chen Qingniu hesitated for a moment, his face was solemn, and he stared at it.

The tragedy of Huitou Lane occurred, and the Suzaku Dynasty dispatched a group of top monks to investigate the case. The He family's fox cave was adjacent to Huitou Lane. It can be said that it was right under the noses of those people. However, in the end, the He family and the fox cave were intact. Obviously, there was an unknown tortuous secret history. How could Chen Qingniu have no doubt about this? This fox fairy with unknown origin should not only be harmless to the Iron Monument Army Town standing on the Suzaku border, but may even need to benefit the Xiliang border.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to tolerate its existence with the harsh attitude of the Suzaku court toward the monks. It was definitely not as Fox Fairy himself said, if he left the shelter early, he would be able to escape the suzontal stalking and rigorous pursuit of the Suzaku monks.

Chen Qingniu suddenly asked, "Are you really unwilling to meet honestly?"

The fox fairy glanced at him gently, and the pair of moving long eyes of autumn water were filled with silent words.

Chen Qingniu stood up and said, "Take me to the He family yard to visit."

She sighed and took Chen Qingniu through the small door and came to the He family mansion separated by a wall.

But after Chen Qingniu closed the door, he immediately stopped, "You set a verbal ban first, let's talk about it here."

The fox fairy smiled and snapped her fingers, and the world was silent.

She leaned against the wall lazily, looked up at the sky, and said in a casual manner.

"After a thousand and two hundred years, many things have changed, and I am finally about to overcome the tribulation and become an immortal."

"The net of heaven is vast and sparse but not leaking. When the mother dragon of Shanghu was about to turn into a dragon, she encountered a catastrophe. How could I not worry about the lessons of the past? At the beginning, I felt that you were my robbery. As you guessed, I did have the intention to kill. Later, I found that it was not you, so I became a neighbor with you. When I first practiced Taoism, a thousand years ago, my energy was bound here at the beginning. If I left, it would be equivalent to breaking the road to immortality. There was an ancestor of the He family, which was my third level. After that, I took root here with peace of mind. As my cultivation increased, I not only had the same energy as an iron monument, but also even had the luck of the entire Xiliang. In the future, as long as I attained the Tao and became a celestial immortal, I could protect the entire Suzaku Dynasty."

"Although the tragedy in the early years was a man-made disaster, it was not a warning from the Heavenly Way? However, the monk Zhuque received the advice of the Imperial Heavenly Prison early. Not only did he not cause trouble for me, but he also secretly came here to help me overcome the tribulation. Once successful, I can be connected with the Suzaku Dynasty and share the blessings and misfortunes. Of course, at that time, I can finally leave Xiliang and wander around the Suzaku territory. Our fox tribe and the situation of the dragon python turning into a dragon are similar.

It seems to be different. The latter will hinder the energy of a land, swallow its whale clean and transform it into its own foundation for carrying the heavenly tribulation. Our fox tribe is born close to humanity, so there will be no hidden danger. Therefore, the Vermilion Biblical Dynasty treated me with courtesy. Even the Emperor of Vermilion Biblical promised that as long as I pass the tribulation and become an immortal, he would take all the civil and military officials to the Fengshan Mountain to help me become a god of the divine way of a towering mountain and enjoy the rich incense of the Vermilion Biblical people."

"But recently, I found that the 'heartstring' that connects the breath of Zhuque Capital City actually shows signs of breaking down."

"If the heavens are in conflict, I really have no confidence. I just want to hope that you can take those children out of the military town. As long as you leave Xiliang, they will break free from this cause and effect. Although if I am lucky enough to become an immortal, they will have already lost the great fortune, but I do not want to take this risk. They would rather leave the land of right and wrong safely and find a foreign land with beautiful mountains and rivers. So I found you and entrust them to you. You only need to send them to the border."

After saying this in one breath, eight snow-white fox tails appeared behind the fox fairy. It was not a demonstration, but rather a naive girl showing off.

Chen Qingniu rubbed one temple with both hands and said with a headache: "When will you leave?"

Her eyes lit up, "You can wait for a while, because I am also trying to repair and make up for that 'heartstring'. As long as I realize there is no chance, you will leave immediately."

Chen Qingniu said in a deep voice: "Okay."

She suddenly smiled brightly and asked with a little confusion: "Sir Chen, why haven't you asked for compensation yet? I'm waiting in a hurry."

Chen Qingniu said angrily: "Look at it!"

She stretched out a finger against her cheek and tilted her head, "Is this the reason?"

Chen Qingniu turned his back on the ruthless face for no reason, and Lise shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

She said pitifully: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

That moment.

Chen Qingniu turned around, opened the door suddenly, left directly, and murmured: "I'm sorry."

These three words.

It means giving the real owner of that face.

You need to know that the face of the worldly fox fairy must be the one who uses deep affection in a man's heart.

The fox fairy looked at the closed door and said to herself, "It's going to change the sky. But I think you, young master, should be in the wind and rain..."
