Chapter 65: Making a Choice at the Four Spirit Pools

Although I knew that the four spirit beasts in front of me were just a residual aura, the majestic field they showed was enough to deeply shock me. After they left, I stood there for a long time, still in shock.

In the end, Grandpa Gan woke me up and asked me to put Nian'er down. I looked around and confirmed that no one would suddenly appear around me, so I carefully placed Nian'er in the center of the four rocks.

I saw that when I put it down, Nian'er, who had been curling up and tightly tightened, suddenly relaxed, and her tightly closed brows also soothed. It was obvious that the aura of the four spirits suppressed the demon spirit in her body.

I gently stroked Nian'er's fluff and heard Grandpa Gan say, "Yun Yi, let's go back. Since the four spirits have agreed, it takes time to suppress the spiritual energy. The little fox demon can't wake up for a while, and Huang Yao will pay attention at all times."

Accompanying Grandpa Gan's words, Taoist Master Huang Yao nodded to express his opinion.

I was not relieved to leave Nian'er here alone, but then I thought, this place is Zizhu Mountain, with hundreds of disciples guarding him, and two leaders, Grandpa Gan and Lu Tong, were in charge. How could there be a half-point difference?

So he stood up and turned around and left.

I looked back a few steps, but finally I got down to the Four Spirit Pond.

After all, Principal Huang Yao is a woman and has a delicate mind. She felt my reluctance and suggested that I temporarily live in her thatched cottage and wait for Nian'er to wake up.

I was naturally very happy. It took about half an hour to get to Siling Pond, and I could see Nian'er again anytime and anywhere.

Grandpa Gan and Lu Tong had no objection, but Taoist Huang Yao still slightly hit my joy. Although I could live in thatched hut, I could not go in and out of the Four Spirits Pond at will. I could only wait until Nian'er woke up. After all, it was a blessing in the Zizhu Mountain Cave. No one could enter and out at will without the head tutors and the people guarding the pond.

Despite this, I was satisfied.

Of course I would like to inform my master first, but he was leisurely and said that he would not be in a hurry to return to the master's sect. He happened to go out to visit his old friends nearby. After a few days, he was not in Zizhu Mountain and he would not take anyone.

In this way, I temporarily lived in Master Huang Yao's thatched cottage.

The layout of the thatched cottage is very simple, but it is very clean. There are a stove, a table, a few chairs, some gourds and magic tools hanging on the wall, and a few pots of green potted plants on the windowsill, exuding a fresh and natural smell. The layout of two bedrooms and a study room is also very simple, but everything should be available. The furniture is basically made of bamboo, with a unique flavor.

I also took a few glances at Priest Huang Yao’s bedroom. In addition to being clean and neat, it was basically impossible to tell that it was a woman’s bedroom. She usually doesn’t stay in the thatched cottage, but goes to Siling Pond, and sometimes stays for a day and a night.

The bamboo forest where the thatched cottage is located is quiet and silent. No one will come up one day, but the sea breeze will make a rustling sound.

During this season, you can still see bamboo rats and pheasants moving during the day. When night comes, only an oil lamp in the house is left flashing. Sometimes it is quiet and lonely, but it is of great benefit to practice. No matter how I practice my homework, no one will disturb me.

The side effects caused by being dominated by Sun Tianshi’s uncle’s long-term occupation of consciousness have basically recovered, but his body is a little weak and soft as if he woke up from a dream. He still needs to do his homework to recover.

In such a quiet environment, I tried my best to find the origin of my mind in my body with my luck for the first time, and it was unexpectedly successful.

I felt that a talisman array laid out by the original source of the original thought was like a glass cover, completely isolated the original source of the original thought, and I could not even feel the slowly overflowing power of the original thought.

This is good and bad for me. The advantage is that there will be no situation where Master Sun will dominate again in the future, and it can also prevent the ideology from being completely wiped out and becoming another person. The disadvantage is that I completely lose a cheat.

Reliance, if I encounter any life and death disasters in the future, Master Sun will not appear to save water and fire again, and can only rely on myself.

Losing some kind of dependence and dependence is actually a very insecure thing, but it also means that I have to learn to grow by myself. If I just rely on others, I will only stagnate and make no progress.

I know this well, so I don’t feel sorry or regretful. After all, everything is two-sided.

After three days, my biggest gain in this hut was that I could often eat the food made by Master Huang Yao and use the most common farm food ingredients. She could make various delicious dishes in different ways, which made people salivate.

However, every time I see me eating with relish, Priest Huang Yao grinned like an old mother, revealing a row of white teeth, very much like my mother who is doing business outside, and occasionally bringing food to see me.

I was inevitably moved by the scene and asked about Taoist Huang Yao’s family affairs.

Only then did I learn that Taoist Master Huang Yao married Chief Lu Tong at the age of 20. It has been nearly twenty years since then. Although the two are very loving, they have never had children or heirs. It is not that they do not have this idea, but because of Taoist Master Huang Yao's health.

Speaking of this, the suffering is self-evident.

I could hear Master Huang Yao's regret and guilt from his words.

After all, no matter how fairy-like they are, they are still ordinary people, with a normal heart and the most simple relationship.

On the fourth day, Taoist Huang Yao, who had been in Siling Pond for a whole day, suddenly came back and told me that Nian'er was awake and I could go up.

When I heard this news, I was extremely excited and anxiously asked Master Huang Yao to take me to meet Nian'er.

We climbed up the steps and walked for almost half an hour. We arrived at the dilapidated wooden archway. Then Taoist Master Huang Yao took out two pieces of talisman paper from his bag and stuck it on both sides of the archway. He chanted the spell and felt that the entrance of the archway suddenly sway, as if some invisible barrier disappeared. Then, she turned around and said to me, "Go up, I'll wait for you here."

I was stunned and asked, "Can Master Huang go up?"

She shook her head without saying a word.

So I passed through the barrier again and entered the space of the Siling Pond. It was already night. The stars in the night sky were twinkling, and the Milky Way flowed, illuminating the entire night sky. The breeze blew across the pond water, the rippling waves flashed, and then brushed across the grass, rolling up layers of waves. Fireflies suddenly flew up in the knee-high grass, echoing the stars in the night sky.

Logically speaking, fireflies can only be seen in autumn, but now they are still in late spring.

I looked up and saw the white figure among the four rocks. I suddenly jumped in my heart and hurriedly walked towards the other side.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the white figure turned around and looked around. The moment he saw me, he couldn't help but scream, and then ran towards me.

I opened my hand excitedly and shouted "Nian'er!"

The little fox was stunned at first and then jumped up, jumped into my arms, and rubbed my cheek hard.

The soft fluff, the faint fragrance of grass, and the warm body, it seems like a lifetime ago that I haven't seen it for several days, and my eyes suddenly became wet.

Seeing the little fox's energetic appearance now, who would have thought that she would almost be unsuccessful and would almost disappear in my life forever.

I hugged the little fox tightly and felt the warmth brought by the brief reunion.

Thousands of words only turn into tight snuggles.

Suddenly, I felt a look coming from all around, which made me feel palpitations. I raised my head and saw the four spirit beasts holding calmly on their rocks, quietly looking at us. In less than a few seconds, they disappeared again.

I looked down at the little fox and asked her, "Aren't you afraid of them?"

Nian'er shook her head and stared

Look at me with big black pearl eyes.

Nian'er is timid, I know that I can face the four spirit beast Wei Ran without fear. Obviously, there are many reasons for it, and it is not enough to investigate it.

I sat down cross-legged, put the little fox on my legs, and gently stroked her hair while thinking about how to speak.

I didn't forget what I was going to do. This time, I would let the little fox make a decision by himself, and give up the bloodline of the demon or the bloodline of the human being.

"Nian'er," I said, "If you were asked to choose to be a human or a demon, what would you choose? If, you can only choose one of them."

The little fox was stunned, looked up and stared at me with his big eyes. His eyes were clear and bright, and he didn't seem to understand what I meant.

I had thought about it for a long time, but I still didn't know how to tell the little fox.

I continued, "I mean, you may have to face two choices, namely, to become a human or a demon. Although you are a demon now, if you become a human, you will never be able to go back. Do you understand? And you will have the same lifespan as a human. Although you will be very smart and conscious, and have a bright future, you will also have to face complex human hearts and dangerous worlds. However, if you become a demon, you will have a long lifespan and become very strong. It will be difficult to achieve enlightenment in the future, but you can stay in this world and live freely! Unrestrained! So, I want to know what you will choose?"

After saying that, I looked down at the little fox, and the little fox also looked up at me. I saw a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes, as well as indescribable sorrow. Although I said a lot, this time she understood my words and seemed to know her current situation.

I hesitated to take out two pieces of paper that had been prepared from my pocket, which contained the words "Demon and Human" and placed them in front of me. Then, while using my fingers, I said: "If you want to choose a demon, stand on this piece of paper. You don't have to hide in my arms all the time, and you can live freely and unrestrainedly. If you want to choose a man, stand on this piece of paper. To be honest, human society is too complicated, and it will be difficult to live in it."

My words seemed to be deliberately guiding her, and from the perspective of Nian'er, she made the most favorable decision for her.

The little fox looked up at me, then looked at the two pieces of paper on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

I swallowed my saliva and waited for the little fox's decision without panting. To be honest, I couldn't confirm my intentions, but after saying that, the uneasiness in my heart could not calm down for a long time.

After a few seconds, the little fox jumped down and landed on the paper with the demon written on it...

My heart sank and felt inexplicably painful.

However, then the little fox lowered his head and picked up the paper with the human beings, jumped back to my legs, looked up at me, with a glittering and shiny eyes.

I was stunned, feeling my heart trembling violently, and carefully took the paper and asked her: "Are you sure? You have to know that the lifespan of becoming a human is shorter than that of a demon! And it will be very dangerous in this society! Are you sure?"

The little fox nodded vigorously, and his big dark eyes were like two dazzling black gems.

I was completely confused. For a moment, my heart was filled with mixed feelings, but I faintly breathed and slowly poured out.

I opened my mouth, but I wanted to speak but stopped. The expectation and rationality in my heart were intertwined in an instant, and it was as messy.

At this moment, a rapid bell suddenly sounded in the distance, with a tight rhythm, which made people feel a little nervous.

As the bell rang, Taoist Huang Yao suddenly appeared in front of the archway and said to me: "The warning bell of Guanyin Temple must have hit. Something must have happened. I want to go down the mountain to see. You can stay in Siling Pond first!"

After saying that, Taoist Master Huang Yao turned around and disappeared under the archway.
