Chapter 56 Ending and Leaving
"Do you still remember that old lady?" Xiao Xiao retracted his gaze and turned to look at Yaya and asked after the old woman's back disappeared around the corner.
"She met you when she was fourteen, and you spent a day together."
"She even promised to bring you homemade cookies the next day."
Xiao Xiao explained briefly, and Ya Ya finally showed a look of sudden realization.
Monsters always have very good memories, especially those with high levels of cultivation.
So when Xiao Xiao gave a brief description, Yaya remembered the girl.
After all, there are really not many humans who can see it, and it played with the human girl for a whole day.
Although it was just a spur of the moment activity, it was indeed a pleasant day.
It turns out that the little girl back then has become an old lady with white hair and wrinkled face.
The traces of time on human beings are extremely obvious.
Thinking of the wrinkles on the old man's face, his head full of white hair and his slightly hunched back that he had seen just now, Yaya couldn't help but sigh.
Humans are indeed short-lived creatures. Seeing the girl from that year and the old woman now again, Wuwu saw a strong aura of death in her.
The girl from that year is no longer alive.
However, this is what ordinary human beings do. In a short period of no more than a hundred years, they have to experience all the birth, aging, sickness and death, and eventually return to dust.
Xiao Xiao touched the bird pattern, smiled, then opened the red tin box and handed it to the front, "Here, your cookies."
Now that he remembered the girl, he naturally understood the origin of the cookie.
Staring at the biscuits silently for a while, the eel seemed a little conflicted.
Xiao Xiao was about to say something, but in the blink of an eye, when he looked at the biscuit box in his hand again, he found that it was empty, with only some crumbs left at the bottom of the box.
Looking up, Xiao Xiao:...
The eel looked calm, as if nothing had happened, and there seemed to be some disgust in his expression.
However, Xiao Xiao's mouth twitched, and he saw the biscuit crumbs around Eel's mouth.
However, looking down at the empty cookie box, he couldn't help but smile.
Forget it, the duck just ate the biscuits.
The old lady should be happy, right? Unlike the countless times before, this time she finally gave away the cookies she made herself, and she finally let the eel eat the cookies she promised.
……
Xiao Xiao was distracted for a while, then he shook his head with a smile. He had done what he could. After all, it was someone else's story. Why should he think so much about it?
It is more important to do his job.
Xiao Xiao raised his wrist to check 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 box of milk.
……
Occasionally, a tourist passing by would see a young man sitting on the ground with his back against a maple tree, his left leg raised and his right leg straight, in a casual posture, eating bread in one hand and milk in the other.
However, no tourist could see that there was a strange-looking bird as red as flowing crimson among the branches of the maple tree above the man, with its long tail hanging down at the man's side.
The man's mouth opened and closed from time to time, and people who noticed him just thought he was talking on the phone.
No one came forward. After all, there was nothing special about the scenery there. Similar scenery could be seen anywhere in Xiangshan, so why bother disturbing others?
The cold wind blew up the fallen leaves and brought some words.
"... Gu Diao... a cruel fellow..."
"… injured… human… tonic…" "… fox demon… possessed a human woman…"
"...absorbing the essence of human men...improving very quickly, with almost no bottlenecks...easy to develop inner demons...every time it's a near-death experience...at the very least, your cultivation will be reversed and you will lose your spiritual power...at the worst, you will die and your spiritual power will be gone..."
"…The tail is very important…"
……
Because it was rare to meet Yuanyuan, Xiao Xiao stayed in Xiangshan until sunset and asked many questions that he had doubts about.
In the end, the sky was dark and the duck became impatient. It swung its tail, rolled up Xiao Xiao and threw him onto the stone steps in the distance.
Fortunately, there was no one around at the time.
Xiao Xiao got up helplessly and brushed off the dust on his body, only to find that night had fallen quietly. A bright yellow moon hung high in the sky, and a few cold stars were faintly visible.
Is it so late already? Xiao Xiao looked at the time. It was almost six o'clock. Because it was winter, it got dark very early.
But he should leave too, otherwise the staff will come to kick him out as the park is almost closing time.
Xiao Xiao took one last look at the eagle. Its flaming red feathers were particularly eye-catching in the night.
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts, 鲛鲛."
"Goodbye."
……
In the end, Xiao Xiao did not ask Ya Ya any questions about Bodhicitta.
Because he was not sure how precious bodhicitta was.
I don’t know if Bodhicitta is so attractive only to fox spirits, or is it so attractive to all spirits?
So, he didn't dare to take the risk.
He was worried that an unintentional word of his would bring disaster upon Su Youjin.
Although he and Eel have been getting along well so far, that is under the premise that they have no conflict of interest.
The wages of avarice is death.
In this regard, I believe that monsters are no different from humans. In fact, when facing their own desires, monsters will be more honest and greedy.
Even if Xiao Xiao didn't know what Bodhicitta was, he knew that Bodhicitta was definitely a treasure more precious than wealth.
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 felt that the fewer people or monsters knew about the existence of Bodhicitta, the better.
Even he was curious and even wondered whether Bodhicitta could be of great use to human beings?
However, monsters can attack humans without any obstacles, so how can he, as a human being, feel at ease to attack Su Youjin, who is also a human and his classmate? Just having such a thought, he felt that he was simply cold-blooded and crazy.
Therefore, when it comes to Bodhicitta, Xiao Xiao finally chose to remain silent and forget.
The only thing that worries me is how the fox demon discovered that Su Youjin has the Bodhicitta?
Since fox demons can discover it, other demons should be able to discover it as well?
However, Xiao Xiao changed his mind and thought that Su Youjin had lived for so many years before a fox demon discovered her bodhicitta.
Well, the fox demon should be more special, right?
Xiao Xiao felt that this possibility was the greatest, and in this case, he could feel more at ease.
Now that the fox demon has lost its tail and can't even possess someone, it should be able to stay safe for a long time, right?
