Chapter 12 The Twelfth Coin
After returning to the wishing pool, Xuanwei became a turtle again.
Her prototype was not slight at all, and it looked like a broken stone that had been left by someone in the shining pile of coins.
But she has many beautiful fellows, such as tortoiseshell with complex patterns like wings, her back is like a magma-spreading flame turtle, and her shell is covered with stars.
The mysterious shell is dark gray, rugged and mottled, with a texture like rocks.
Therefore, monsters often mistake her for a turtle, and Xuanwei often greets him in anger.
Just at this moment, a few mortals with no eyes stood by the pool and commented on her, pointing their fingers:
"Is that a turtle or a turtle."
"Is the turtle so ugly?"
"It's just a turtle, but its mouth doesn't look very similar. Wouldn't the turtle's mouth be sharper? Its mouth is very round."
"But it's so ugly, haha."
Xuanwei: "..."
For the sake of your money being thrown a lot, Grandpa I won’t care about you much.
She slowly scratched her short limbs and split a gold and silver path.
clang!
A coin hit her shell hard.
A child exclaimed: "Wow, I threw the turtle! Will my wish come true soon?"
As soon as this statement was spoken, tourists around him followed suit and threw coins on Xuanwei.
If one misses, the second, the third, the tenth...
Suddenly, coins rain fell from the sky, and Xuanwei's eyes were splashing and flashing metal halos. She was flattered and just wanted to arch her back higher and accept this baptism of copper.
The child's mother seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and dissuaded: "If you throw it like this, the turtles will hurt. Animals, flowers and plants have life. Buddhism is important, and we must not disregard them. Do you know?"
Where does it hurt? You are my spokesperson? Xuanwei only regrets that she cannot speak at this moment and wants to suppress her desire to scream. She only hopes that the rain will be stronger and stronger, like a strong wind or a tsunami. It is best to hit her unable to hold on to her body and suffocate her to death in the mountains of gold and silver.
It’s a pity that the old mother’s words were influential. The child stopped and the rest left one after another with their bags.
have a finger in the pie.
Why is it the same as Lu Xun?
The name suddenly flashed into Xuanwei's mind. She had been back in the temple for a week and would occasionally remember him. After all, he was the human being she had the deepest relationship, so it was a bit special and a little unforgettable.
But it's just, a little bit.
In the afternoon, there were fewer people in the temple. After Xuanwei surveyed the surroundings, he pulled out a few brand new and shiny coins into his shell as usual and tucked them carefully.
The sunlight made the bottom of the water warm, and the dark eyes narrowed, ready to take a nap.
There was wind and water ripples, waving her eyes, Xuanwei retreated her head into the shell.
The shell is very noisy, and every coin is wishing, there are children screaming, and there are men and women's hearts of grace.
Xuanwei gathers energy and concentrates his mind to block these noises. She can indeed hear it, but it does not mean that she wants to understand and realize it.
Most mortals who like to spend money and pray for blessings are sensitive and urgent, and have unrealistic expectations for God.
Similarly, there are concentric locks on the railings and red ribbons between the branches. They wish they could stick the talisman paper and the guards in the house like wallpaper. They are all things that ordinary people call superstitious but flock to.
What do you want to exchange for one dollar?
Infinite wealth? A connection made by heaven and earth? A prosperous foundation? A flesh/body that has lasted for many years?
Which immortal family would do such a loss-making business? If you are sincere, you will be a good person, but you will be a joke.
Xuanwei's eyes skillfully wandered around the coins and checked the points until she saw the copper plate Lin Yin gave her that she paused.
The copper coin was not prominent in her collection of treasures. Thinking of the incident that night and the sad eyes of the fox girl, Xuanwei approached and listened to the wish inside. She was not wrong, but the old man's voice, "Peace in the future."
She had no idea why the fox girl cared so much about the last wish of a mortal, and was even tied to death.
In the evening, Xuanwei's confusion was answered.
The fox girl came to find her again. This time she had a personal possession. She was still a man. She was unkempt and was drunk all over her body. She should have been hangover and she was usually depressed and depressed, so she lacked the energy of her body and picked it up as a carrier.
At this point, man, demon, and god are no different. If you are willing to fall, it will be a matter of time before you are abandoned by heaven and earth.
The fox girl's spiritual energy has become much weaker, like a wisp of blue smoke, which will dissipate when the wind blows.
She called Xuanwei by the pool.
Xuan Wei wanted to pretend to be ignorant, but she had no choice but to wipe her eyes and shed tears on the shore. A man with a beard sobbed at Yi Fang Qingchi, which inevitably attracted people's eyes.
To avoid identity leakage, Xuan Wei used her spiritual consciousness to pass on the message to her, and then discussed it again at the time of Hai, and gave her a hidden place.
The fox nodded and left the place.
It was night, the water in the pond became cold, and the moonlight was like a layer of frost. It climbed ashore and found the dead grassland.
The fox was waiting there for a long time, and she leaned against the tree trunk and stared at a ginkgo leaf in her hand.
Xuanwei stopped in front of her, puzzled: "Why don't you just use your soul to come to me? Every time it takes so much trouble, it's eye-catching."
"He can't do it anymore." She pointed to her body.
Xuanwei turned into a human form and sat down cross-legged casually: "I know, I want you to tell me."
The fox girl smiled weakly: "This is his descendant. She was poisoned by alcohol in the early morning and was lying on the roadside without anyone to pay attention to her. She was almost dead."
Xuan Wei was suddenly unable to speak, and after a moment he replied: "You are almost dead."
She said: "I know."
"You can't protect yourself like this, how long do you want to hold him up?"
The fox girl chatted with a relaxed tone: "It's a matter of saving one."
"It's because of that wish?" She was ridiculously stupid, but Xuanwei's desire to mock her was gone: "That word of peace in future generations?"
The fox girl didn't speak, obviously defaulting.
The fox girl coughed in pain and it was difficult to get up. She made a slow and difficult voice: "I have been following him these days, and I don't know which generation he is in his family, but she looks like him."
"I knew him since I was a child. At that time, I was still a little fox. He was a disciple of the pharmacist. He saw me when he went to the back mountain to collect herbs."
"I was afraid of people, so I hid, and he left the dry food to me."
“There are meat and fried rice, which is delicious.”
Xuanwei swallowed her saliva, and she also wanted to eat fried rice.
The fox girl did not pay attention to her reaction and was completely immersed in her memories:
"Later he came again. We met. I still avoided him, but he still kept food for me."
"He sounds nice and clean like a stream in the mountains."
"After that time, I began to miss him."
"So the third time he came, I bit a fruit for him and showed kindness to him."
"He was a little surprised, but he still picked it up with a smile and ate it without wiping it. It seemed that the fruit was not dirty at all. He thanked me and said the fruit was very sweet. I thought he liked it, and he wanted to take him to find more with his tail. He followed him. That day, while eating the fruit, he smiled and told me for an afternoon, saying that he was not good at learning skills and his master did not value it. I was the only one in the mountains who was the best for him."
"He was very distressed, I wanted to comfort him, but I couldn't speak human language."
"Later, he went down the mountain after learning, opened a medicine hall, got married and had children."
"My cultivation is getting stronger and I can turn into a human form, so I went to him. When I told him about my identity, he was a little frightened, but when I showed him the fruit, he immediately believed it."
"Later, we had frequent private meetings, but we had the reality of a husband and wife, but we didn't have the name of a husband and wife, but I was also very happy."
"It's a pity that not long after, we were caught by his servant. He was in pain and couldn't stand ease, so I chased and killed the man."
"It was also after that day that he seemed to have changed, avoiding me and never seeing me again."
"I was afraid that he would get tired of me and dare not disturb me, but I was reluctant to leave. So I wandered around his house for several months. But in the past few months, he had never seen me find me once. I was discouraged and went back to the mountain."
"I stayed in the cave since then, and I didn't know the seasons changed. Finally one day, he suddenly came to the place where we once met."
"He said, little fox."
"I was surprised and happy, hiding in the cave without saying a word."
"He said, I know you are here, and we may not be destined to do this in this life, but before I die, I will definitely go to Lingyuan Mountain to make a wish. In the next life, we must become lovers and be united forever. The temple over there is very effective. If you wait for me, we will not have any contact in this life, okay?"
"I gritted my teeth and didn't dare to cry, so I just nodded secretly."
"That day, just like now, is the season when leaves fall, and the whole mountain is covered with golden snow."
"Later, for decades, I leaned in the dark and peeked at him to live. He passed away at the age of fifty-two. At the age of fifty-one, he lost a grandson. He was extremely sad and fell seriously ill from then on. I went to the mountains to find medicine, but I didn't know how to give it to him because I was afraid of violating my agreement with him."
"In less than a year, he seemed to feel that his deadline was approaching, so he came to Lingyuan Temple. I followed him and watched him stagger to the pond, prayed devoutly, and threw it down again, and returned to the foot of the mountain. In just two days, he passed away."
"I cried and laughed, for reluctance, for reunion."
"I picked his coins and waited for it. In every life after him, he had peace, happiness, depression, but it had nothing to do with me. I couldn't get into his life and could not wait for anything."
Speaking of this, she bent her lips with a self-deprecating voice: "I only realized that he had not made that wish at all when he found you. It turned out that as early as that life, he had forgotten me and our promise as time passed. For him, I am insignificant, maybe it was just a dream, and my head was empty."
Xuanwei didn't know where to start, she felt that the fox had a problem with his brain: "Then why do you save his descendants and let him die for himself. This is his life. You are dying and you have to go against the will of heaven. This will only speed up your death."
The fox looked as pale as paper, and he held the Xuanwei sleeve with his only remaining strength: "I beg you... He still has a chance to survive. The hospital building in the city center is like a solid shield, and people are coming and going, bustling. I can't get close to you now, and I can't call for help from others, so I can only come to you. Only you can come in here, I have the only one here, I can save him, this is his long-cherished wish."
Xuanwei's eyes became colder, like a pond of deep water. She stood up and pushed her finger away: "Don't think about it, I won't help you."
