If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 430 The Old Fox and the Little Sand Man

The countryside on a winter night was already very quiet after dinner, and it was already past dinner time.

The whole village was as quiet as an ancient tomb.

The black sky is the roof of the tomb, blocking out all light and human voices.

There was no human voice, and the north wind and the leafless branches seemed to be fighting.

The stronger the north wind, the harder the branches struggled, making a rustling sound above Xiaoyu's head.

Even the sound of dead leaves and vines breaking under her feet was clear and obvious.

Before tonight, Xiaoyu had no idea that his tracking ability was so powerful.

Originally, he just wanted to give it a try. If he couldn't catch her, he would just sit back and wait for the vixen to return to the Su family on her own.

As a result, he went out and followed the evil spirit for more than ten miles, and finally got far away from the village.

But she could still vaguely catch the scent of the vixen.

"Alas, a stalker who is good at hiding his aura must be a master at finding weak auras and traces!"

Xiaoyu was feeling emotional and was silently reciting the Heart Sutra.

She was a skilled and courageous person, and was accustomed to seeing things in the underworld.

Walking in the wilderness feels like being in a busy city, without any fear or panic.

One of the great benefits of the Heart Sutra is to conquer the "demonic obstacles" in one's heart.

Demonic obstacles are not narrowly limited to evil thoughts.

All thoughts and ideas that are not from our true nature can be considered as demonic obstacles.

While reciting the Heart Sutra, Xiaoyu felt more than just calm.

Her "spirituality" was more alive than it had been during the day.

It is completely unaffected by the debris and air in the mountains and forests, and there is no need to look around or squat down to carefully identify it.

She seemed to be able to see a line directly connecting her to the vixen.

No matter how the vixen runs, she is always tied to the line.

"Hoohoo~~~" After walking for another twenty miles, a cold wind suddenly blew from the sky, blowing apart a piece of the thick gray and black clouds, and revealing a clear crescent of moonlight.

Although the moonlight is cold, it illuminates the earth with a vast expanse of white.

The warriors have sharp eyesight and can see almost every detail under the moonlight.

Anyway, Xiaoyu didn't need to look down to clearly distinguish the frost particles condensed on the surface of the bluestone and fallen leaves.

Xiaoyu paused for a moment.

Two rows of sycamore trees appeared in front of us, their bare branches clearly visible.

The sycamore trees were planted in neat rows, clearly distinguishing them from the messy trees in the wild forest.

She continued walking forward, following the path between the sycamore trees.

The path was clean, without any messy weeds or withered but tough thorn bushes.

There were even few fallen leaves, and the soil was hard enough to leave no footprints when walking on it.

She walked for seven or eight miles, and the neatly arranged sycamore trees and the flat and clean path still did not end.

The crescent moon in the sky seemed to be still, hanging there without moving even a bit, and the moonlight was always bright.

"Squeaky, squeaky~~~" The sound of a horse-drawn carriage came from behind.

The sound of the wheels rolling on the dirt road and the sound of the carriage shaking were very clear, and they were very close to Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu was unmoved and continued to recite the Heart Sutra silently, walking forward at a slow but actually fast pace.

There were two lanterns hanging in front of the carriage.

One lantern was hung in front of the horse's head with a jumping pole, and the other was hung on the left front edge of the carriage.

Soon the light fell on Xiaoyu, and the driver exclaimed in surprise.

"Master, there is a little girl here."

The carriage door curtain opened, and a white-haired old man poked his head out and asked in surprise: "Girl, it's so late, where are you going?"

Xiaoyu tilted her head to look at the carriage that had come to her side.

The old man was eight feet tall, slender, and thin. Although he had white hair and beard, he did not have many wrinkles. His face was ruddy and his skin was as delicate as a baby's.

It can be seen that he must have been a handsome and romantic young man when he was young.

Although his skin is delicate at this point, he has a mature and wise temperament, and people would not mistake him for a teenager pretending to be an old man.

The old man's dress was also rich and elegant.

He wore a golden crown carved with auspicious clouds and a pixiu on his head. Two silver ribbons hung from the crown and were tied at the chin to fix the crown in place.

He was wearing a neat and luxurious "triple robe": the robe had a cross collar and a right lapel, with a low neckline, revealing three pieces of clothing underneath.

With such attire and demeanor, no one would doubt that he is a prince.

Xiao Yu smiled calmly and said, "Dad, I'm helping a friend find a wife. Where are you from and where are you going?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the "Old Fox Killing Method" was activated.

Xiaoyu's calm heart beat violently a few times: Damn, the old things in Shuiyue Temple happened again!

The speed at which the old fox deduces his killing method is even slower than that of the South China Sea nun.

——What’s going on? I’m not pretending to be cool, why is it that every time I’m practicing swordplay alone and full of confidence, I suddenly get cold water poured over my head?

Last time I thought it was just a Feng Nipo that could be easily captured.

When they opened the door, they saw a group of demons and monsters sharpening their knives and squatting on the high ground.

This time, she thought it was just a little vixen who could control her life or death with just a glance.

After chasing for a while, an old monster suddenly jumped out?

"Helping a friend find a wife." The old man with white hair and beard pondered for two breaths, then smiled and said, "My surname is 'Bai', and I am the owner of the Bai Family Villa ahead.

Tonight, at the invitation of Wu Xijun, I went out to attend a banquet.

The host has shown such hospitality that we have been delayed until now.

I was just about to go home when I ran into you, girl, outside the village.

After a pause, he warmly invited, "Miss, you seem to have walked a long way. Why don't you rest in my house for a night and go look for someone tomorrow morning?"

You know what, Xiao Yu really smelled alcohol on the old man.

"How dare I refuse the invitation from the elder?" Xiao Yu pointed forward and said, "You walk in front. I have practiced martial arts and can run faster than a horse." The old man hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Although it is very rude to let guests walk on the ground, Baijiazhuang is not far from here. I will get off the car and walk with you, young lady."

He patted the car door frame, "Bai Hong, stop."

The driver pulled the reins gently and the horse stopped obediently.

The driver took a small stool from the side and placed it under the carriage.

The old man shook his sleeves and walked down gracefully and calmly on the small stool.

"What's your name, young lady?" the old man asked with a gentle smile.

"The Feather Phoenix Fairy of Tianmen Town is me." Xiaoyu said.

Although he had guessed her identity a long time ago, the old man's eyelids still twitched a few times when he got the definite answer, and he was lamenting in his heart: How did I get entangled by this evil star?

"So it's Fairy Yu, who is full of righteousness. I have heard of your great name for a long time, and today I finally see you in person."

The old man groaned in his heart, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and then the surprise turned into joy.

He looked her up and down and praised her loudly, "Fairy Yu is indeed a beautiful and graceful lady, and her reputation is well-deserved!"

"Dad, you're too kind." Xiao Yu waved his hand and praised, "Dad is the one who has the deity and spirit of an immortal, just like an immortal banished from the mortal world.

The younger generation is also well-informed.

But even the nobles of the upper state and the immortal master of the prince's mansion are not as extraordinary, elegant and noble as my dad.

When I first met my father, I felt a little dazed, as if I had met Lord Dongfang Shuo again! "

The old man's face was filled with joy. "Dongfang Shuo is a celestial being. How can I compare to him?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Lord Dongfang Shuo is more than just a celestial being. His elixir is about to mature. A few years later, he went to the Peach Banquet and ate a few large peaches with purple veins and yellow cores. It is expected that his elixir will mature, and the yin and yang will complement each other, and he will achieve the status of a golden immortal.

However, Old Man Bai doesn't need to be modest. Heavenly Immortal and Golden Immortal are just a state of mind, not a specific identity.

Lord Dongfang Shuo can become a Golden Immortal, so maybe Dad can too."

The old man was shocked, and he was shocked several times in a row.

The elixir is about to be cooked, with purple veins and yellow core. These are four simple words, but many earthly immortals and wandering immortals cannot say them.

I don't have that insight.

Especially the connection between "the elixir is about to mature" and the big peaches. If it weren't for the long heritage of their Qingqiu fox clan and the fact that he himself was about to transcend the calamity and ascend to become a celestial fox, he would hardly have noticed the value of Yu Fengxian's few simple words.

——This Yu Fengxian is not simple!
Xiaoyu succeeded in showing off.

He successfully used a few words he heard from the old monk to scare the old fox.

"Dongfang Shuo's elixir is almost ready. Did he tell the fairy about it?" he asked tentatively.

Although he asked this, he felt that Dongfang Shuo would not say such a thing to her.

Never mind her embarrassing identity as a stinking piece of shit or a great plague god.

Even though she was an ordinary "Daqin Shangzao", she was a relative and friend of Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo would not reveal his true identity to others.

The elixir is about to be ready, which should be Dongfang Shuo’s big secret.

Using the spiritual energy of the giant peaches to cultivate the elixir is a secret among secrets. It can even be called a secret from heaven.

In fact, even Dongfang Shuo's upcoming attendance at the Peach Banquet was a huge secret.

After all, Dongfang Shuo was a prominent figure in the Xisha region and the mainstay of China in the West.

If they knew that he was about to leave the human world and go to the Heavenly Palace to attend the Peach Banquet, how would Buddhism, the demon race, the local forces in the Quicksand Region, and the Demon Suppression Army react?
Of course, the news that Dongfang Shuo was about to attend the Peach Banquet could not be concealed from the Buddhist leaders.

While he was speaking, countless thoughts flashed through the old man's mind, and his expression and demeanor became increasingly amiable.

Xiao Yu deliberately flickered her eyes and said vaguely: "I heard it from others."

The old fox is too strong.

Even if she was given one night, she would find it difficult to deduce the simplest "assassination method".

Can't beat her, so run away. Xiaoyu is not familiar with the old vixen.

I have only seen his illusions that were almost real: it started with the moonlight falling, and all the subsequent scenes were illusions.

I've never seen the old vixen fly, so I'm not sure how good his escape technique is.

However, Xiaoyu is not a fish on the chopping board.

First of all, she has always had a powerful weapon hidden in her eyes: the "Evil Eye Alien".

Secondly, they were still in Yingxiang Prefecture, about seventy or eighty miles away from Tianmen Town.

Even if he couldn't win and his escape speed was not as fast as the opponent, Xiaoyu was confident that he could escape back to the city.

Once they entered the city, she was the righteous Tianyu Fengxian, and he was a "city-attacking demon". She ran to Yonghe Palace and Lao Mansion Painting Hall to see how Li Rongji and Lao Foye would stand by and watch.

The above is just the reason why Xiaoyu is calm and composed.

Unless she had to, she was unwilling to fall out with the old fox.

After all, the reason I met the old vixen tonight was because of Suxipo.

She was willing to help Su Xipo as much as she could, but she was not willing to risk her life for him.

Countless thoughts flashed through Xiaoyu's mind, and his expression and demeanor became more and more friendly and lovely.

The old man was intimidated and Xiaoyu was frightened.

Although they were chatting on a remote forest trail with a howling cold wind, the atmosphere between the two became increasingly harmonious and warm.

The old man asked about Xiaoyu's glorious deeds, such as exterminating ghosts in Guaizi Mountain and intercepting the Heaven-Swallowing Great Sage.

Xiaoyu told me everything he knew and explained it in great detail.

Xiao Yu then asked the old man if he was a local, where he came from, and how many years he had been practicing Taoism.
The old man hesitated for a moment, then spoke frankly, saying, "To be honest with Fairy Yu, my family and I are originally from Middle-earth.

I have been practicing for ten thousand years and will soon complete my practice and ascend to the heavenly realm.

Just at this critical moment, a great catastrophe between heaven and earth occurred again, and the southern continent was about to fall into chaos.

I had no choice but to seek refuge in the West with my entire family.

Originally, my destination was Jilei Mountain to the west of Tongtian River.

As a result, the Thirty-Six Kingdoms Rebellion broke out again in the Xisha region last year.

There is chaos and disorder everywhere, so I can only temporarily settle down outside Tianmen Town."
