At the dinner table, Duan Yanxin was talking with relish. Yu Xiangdi, who was sitting on her left, suddenly stretched out his right hand, touched her little head, and sighed: "Sure enough, although the message from Feng Yu has grown up, this head is really the size of a little girl..."

"What are you doing?" Duan Yan reached out to pat Yu Xiangdi's hand angrily. He didn't expect Yu Xiangdi to pull it back in time, and the hand hit her head. Then, she pouted and said, "Isn't it that Lu Shu that I won't grow up in my life!"

Huike kindly comforted: "But you have also heard such beautiful singing from others. You must know that many people will never have the chance to experience that wonderful feeling."

"I don't deny that its singing sounds very good, but... but I have to ask for my opinion! Now, I don't know that I am twenty-two years old and I can't get married. I'm so angry!"

Looking at Duan Yanxin's helpless appearance, Chen Shuqing smiled melancholy. At the beginning, I, the little fox demon, was adopted by the old purifier, but now, you, the little purifier, have been adopted by the old demon king. Although our identity has turned the opposite, our experience is so similar... Yes, "marrying" is just the most simple and unpretentious wish of many girls in the world, so I fully understand your mood.

In short, the past of Huike was gradually finished by the old and young. Huike seemed to sigh in relief and said to Pu Zixuan: "The ups and downs of the demon world, this is no longer the time when the world is facing the return of the Demon Emperor. Pu Zixuan, I will tell you so much because you are a descendant of Pu Songling, Huangdi, the goddess of Xiaoyue, Xu Fu, Pu Songling... In the history of China, there has never been a shortage of top purifying envoys. Although the purifying envoys have been declining in the past century, I believe that in time, you can also bring a pure land to the world like them."

"Do I have this ability?" Although Pu Zixuan was also excited, he thought that even if his purifying power was quite different from Yu Xiangdi, he couldn't help but feel a little insignificant. "So, how much is the demonic power of other demon kings?"

"Yes, yes, this question hasn't been finished just now." Duan Yan said in his heart, "But don't be scared when you say it. The highest at present is Drought Ba, 15,000. The Red Yasha reached 9,020 after the recovery of the Demon King. She has never used the demon power since then, because she is Xiaoye Hongdou, and the "Sakya Heavenly Scroll" cannot detect the changes, but with the rebirth of the Taixu Crystal, there must be tens of thousands. Grandpa only has 7,001, and the Xiqu canal has reached 1,000. In addition, there is a Prajna crystal north of the Great Wall. I don't know which monster it fell into, so we can't detect it."

"Sure enough, although I defeated Hong Yasha once, it was because the lightning power I got by chance could just break the trees and break the old demon of the Black Mountain. It was also because he deliberately disgusted Hong Yasha and lowered his defense and let me fight... In terms of absolute strength, I am still far behind them..." Thinking of this, Pu Zixuan couldn't help but sigh, "The gap is big, the gap is big..."

"Haha, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry..." Huike comforted her, then changed her mind, and greeted, "Come on, come on, eat vegetables. By the way, we are all talking about us, why are you here to find me in the humble house today?"

Chen Shuqing smiled knowingly, put down her chopsticks, and said in a verve: "A few days ago, we went to Kaifeng Prefecture to do business. We happened to meet a monster with a human face and a tiger body, so we captured it. It was judged by Elder Huiyuan and I that it was the horse's belly reincarnated by Manqu, so we brought it here to satisfy Elder Huike's wish."

When he heard the four words "human face and tiger body", Huike's expression became focused. After Chen Shuqing finished speaking, he immediately asked alertly: "Will that monster make the cry of a baby?"

“That’s right.”

"So, does it like to eat hairy things? Once it eats, it will become extremely obedient?"

"Yes, I fed it a duck and recovered it."

Huike immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said tremblingly, "That is the belly of the horse that Manqu mentioned to me in his dream... Where is it?"

Chen Shuqing pointed to the outside of the house and said, "It's on an open space behind the bamboo forest."

"Take me to see!"

After saying that, everyone had no intention of having a meal anymore, so they got up together, left the hut, and followed Chen Shuqing.

On an open space behind the bamboo forest, the horse was indeed obediently lying on the ground, looking towards the hut. When he saw Chen Shuqing coming, he couldn't help it anymore, so he immediately stood up and ran towards everyone excitedly.

However, it didn't care about looking at others at all. It just rubbed Chen Shuqing's clothes with its head, making a baby-like coquettish sound, and regarded this woman as its own master.

"It's indeed the horse's belly..." Huike walked up, touched the fur on the horse's belly, and said sadly, "It seems that you are just turning around, and you no longer know me at all."

Chen Shuqing smiled and said, "It's okay, we don't plan to take it away anyway. As long as Elder Huike is willing to keep it at home, you will feed him some chickens, ducks and geese every day, and soon, it will recognize you as its master."

After hearing this, Huike remained silent, but Duan Yanxin said excitedly: "Okay, grandpa, just leave the horse's belly at home with us, otherwise I will be suffocated to death."

Huike looked at Duan Yanxin who was very happy, smiled slightly, nodded, and then said to the three of them: "I really want to thank you for your great kindness and virtues for fulfilling your great wish for me, the old man!"

"Don't say that quickly. We should thank you for providing us with so much valuable information today!" Pu Zixuan finished giving in and asked, "By the way, there is another thing. I wonder if Elder Huike can give me some advice?"

"You said, as long as I know, I will know everything."

So, Pu Zixuan told the story of fighting with the mysterious female assassin at the mountain pass on the Songshan Pass two days ago, and asked, "What is the identity of that female assassin and Black Mist?"

Huike was stunned and replied: "From the skills you described, it is undoubtedly Baoyiwei Shadali, but I have no way of knowing what the Black Mist is about."

"Baoyiwei Shadali?" Pu Zixuan felt confused and frowned.

"Yes, the Baoyiwei originated from the Baoyi people. The Baoyiwei was a slave group serving the Qing emperor and royal family for generations. It was originally composed of lower-level members of the Jurchen tribe and did not have combat functions. Later, according to actual needs, the royal family established a mysterious organization called Baoyiwei, which was specially used for special tasks such as combat. Its members were no longer limited to the children of the Eight Banners, but were all composed of purifying messengers and were directly responsible to the royal family. At present, the only people who can mobilize the Baoyiwei are probably Emperor Tongzhi and Empress Dowager Cixi."

Pu Zixuan exclaimed: "Since it is so noble, why are they coming to Songshan for this?"

"Oh, it's a long story." Huike sighed, "The Jurchen tribe and the demon world have been secretly interacting since the era of Huang Taiji. In recent years, in order to find the whereabouts of Ge Duo, the demon world has reached an agreement with the royal family: the demon world helps the court to eliminate the rebellion, while the royal family sends a Baoyiwei to the major demon kings to find Ge Duo, or solve some other difficulties. Those who contacted Hanba were called Zhang Xingwen, and those who contacted Heishan Laomo were called Zhao Hongcai, and the Baoyiwei who contacted me was the Manchu, Niuhulu, named Shadali. However, she came and went mysteriously, and she was always masked even if she appeared. I was not interested in her, and I didn't know what she looked like, and I didn't know what she had to do when she was stranded in Songshan. As for how many people there were in the Baoyiwei, and how abilities the others were, they were even more unaware of it."

"Haha, as a purifying envoy, he worked hard for the court for a few dou of rice and colluded with the demon world. These people are really a shame for the purifying envoy..." Pu Zixuan finished scolding and returned to his calm expression, "Thank you Elder Huike for the information provided, and thank you for your hospitality. If there is nothing else, we will say goodbye."

Both sides bowed and said goodbye. Chen Shuqing touched the horse's belly's face and said reluctantly: "Horse belly, this is your home in the future, and you will fall in love with it."

The three of them left, and the horse's belly made a sad cry, watching Chen Shuqing's back disappear deep in the bamboo forest.

At night, Duan Yanxin had already fallen asleep first. In the woodshed next to the hut, Huike sat on a small bench, wearing firewood, silently looking at the horse's belly, and was in a state of ease.

"Brother Manqu, in a blink of an eye, you have been away from me for four thousand years. At that time, I was still a calf who was not afraid of tigers. I don't know when, but I have become a dying old man... Do you know, you taught me too many things, some are right, some are not that right, but whether right or wrong, it is you who made me..."

The horse turned his head and looked at the strange little world. Sometimes, his eyes would stay on Huike for a moment.

Huike continued to express his heart: "Over the years, I have a lot of things to say to you, but what I want to ask the most is only one sentence: Before you died, you said that you regarded me as a brother, but you were just using me, but that was in a hurry. If it were the present, would you still say that to me?"

The horse looked at Huike in a daze and said, "Here... warm..."

"It's a pity that I can never know the answer... right, brother?" Huike smiled desolately and murmured, "Once upon a time, you were like me now, speaking to a silly rhino every day, wanting it to understand your thoughts sooner, right? Yes, it was precisely because of that wonderful time that no matter what the answer, I am still willing to stubbornly regard you as my elder brother... Brother, I also want to say that we used to turn the world together, but we can't move the rain of history and the rain of people's hearts. Now, my life is not long, so I beg you to walk with me quietly..."
