The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 137 Tiger Taming
Hearing Li Huai's voice, Xi Lan quickly put on the mask. "I just feel sorry for the rabbit."

Peeled the rabbit skin twice, then got up and went back to the cave.

She noticed that Li Huai looked at her with strange eyes, so she asked, "What is the prince looking at?"

"Your mask has rabbit blood on it!" he replied.

"Oh! Let's roast the rabbit quickly!" She didn't care about the mask on her face, but when she lit the fire, she asked tentatively, "Why didn't the lord ask me how I ruined my face?"

Shouldn't a normal person's first reaction when he learns that someone he knows is disfigured is to ask why?

But Li Huai's whole process was too calm, so calm that she had to suspect that everything was just a faux pas.

"I don't care about your face, so why ask?"

These words sounded very convincing, who made him a noble prince!

As if aware of her thoughts, Li Huai added: "This king and you are life and death friends, and your appearance has long been engraved in my heart, not just your face!"

She was stunned for a moment, it was obvious that two big men were sitting by the fire roasting hares, why did she have the illusion that Li Huai was confessing?

"It is a great honor to be able to become life and death friends with the prince!"

Li Huai held the rabbit in his own hands and rolled it over the flames. Hearing what she said, he smiled softly.

"Actually, it's my honor. Thanks to Brother Xu He for taking care of me like this, I always feel..."

Hearing that he hesitated to speak, she asked curiously: "What does the prince always think?"

"I always feel that you have known this king for a long time, as if we get along day and night!"

She replied: "Perhaps the prince and I knew each other in the previous life."

In the previous life, he might not have known her, but she knew his name like thunder.

That's why Xi Lan wondered whether that little Bodhi nun had really moved her heart for that extraordinary immortality.

Li Huai looked over the fire, and under the white mask, a pair of clear eyes were imprinted with the shape of flames.

He didn't look at it for a long time, and stared down at the rabbit that was grilled with oil.

"You don't want to kill, why do you want to kill for this king?"

She was silent for Shaoqing, and replied: "We are in this mountain, we don't know what else we will encounter. The prince needs to replenish his strength, and I need it too."

People will always have various excuses to get rid of their sins.

The law of the jungle of the jungle remains unchanged.

But the heart of compassion and compassion comes from a wise man.

They practice in order to seek ways to help the world and the common people escape from suffering.

But they don't have the foundation of a wise man, and they will keep making mistakes on this long and difficult road.

How to answer Li Huai's question, she thought of a Buddhist story.

"It is said that before Sakyamuni became a Buddha, he practiced hard in a remote forest. Because he did not eat meat but only ate Avalokitesvara soil, he was so hungry that he was skinny and boneless. When his body was about to be exhausted, a mountain rabbit While helping the Buddha to practice, he crashed his head against a big tree and died. Sakyamuni cried out in grief. The mountain rabbit offered him his own flesh and blood. If he didn't eat, all the painstaking efforts of the mountain rabbit would be in vain, so..."

Li Huai took the words with a smile and said, "So Lord Buddha also eats meat!"

"Buddhists don't eat meat not because it's meat!"

"what is that?"

She figured it out, the prince was deliberately finding fault.

It's no wonder that he didn't get used to Taoist people like them in the past.

However, she was still patient and replied very solemnly: "That's life!"

Li Huai is not really dumb, how could he fail to understand the truth of this.

His eyes were a little preoccupied, and he was obviously much lower than before.

"Your ancestors said that if you kill innocent people indiscriminately, you will fall into hell and never be reborn."

So if he killed so many people, he will definitely experience the pain of being burned in the fire of hell, piercing his heart with thousands of arrows, and scratching his skin!
Xi Lan's heart tightened, now Li Huai is just an ordinary person.

How could he have imagined that his fairy had already suffered all kinds of hardships in the devil world.

So, compared to the sufferings she has suffered for the world, what is she doing at this moment?
"Everything has a chance to change, as long as you put down the butcher knife..." you can return to the fairyland.

She silently read the last six words in her heart.

Soon, the rabbit meat was roasted, and Li Huai gave her half of it, she shook her head and replied, "I'm not hungry!"

In fact, she only ate a hardened steamed bun during the day, so it was a lie to say that she was not hungry.

Furthermore, it was inconvenient for her to wear a mask.

Seeing her get up and walk out of the cave, Li Huai put down the rabbit meat and followed.

"If you don't eat, isn't this king going to eat alone?"

"My lord is so big, he should have eaten a lot of food alone." After finishing speaking, she jumped onto the big rock next to her with light work. Although the top was uneven, it was very spacious.

In the clear mountains, the starry sky seems to be within reach, and the beauty is refreshing.

From below, Li Huai saw her lying on the rock with her legs crossed, she lost her mind for a while with that comfortable appearance.

However, he didn't say anything else, and went back into the cave.

When Xi Lan heard him leaving, she took off the mask on her face, with a faint trace of melancholy in her eyes, she read softly: "Tearing red flowers here and there, seemingly innocent but intentional..."

How she fell asleep with her tired body in her arms, she no longer remembers!

I only remember that when I woke up in the morning, I was greeted by the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, and the mask on her face had been put back on at some point.

She pondered for a moment before turning over and jumping off the rock.

When I went back to the cave, I didn't see Li Huai, only a few roasted sweet potatoes were fat and round in the coals in the cave.

"Googoo—" She was already hungry, and when she saw the sweet potatoes, she became even more hungry.

Immediately, she peeled off the skin and ate one. After eating, Li Huai did not come back. She was a little worried, so she went out of the cave to look for it.

By observing the dew on the blades of grass, she could tell where Li Huai was going, so she found the edge of a mountain stream, and saw Li Huai in white squatting by the stream, scooping water with green leaves.

Xi Lan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that something happened to him!

But I have to admit that Chu Yang shines on the stream through the leaves, and the light reflects on Li Huai's face, which is very charming.

She smiled and looked fascinated.

How great would it be if he could go back to the mountains and forests with him and practice in seclusion like this?

However, in his position, he cannot care about his own happiness and forget his duty.

After all, Li Huai is Wen Guo's seventh prince, he was born extraordinary, and has the foundation of immortals and demons, if he can ascend to the throne, then the blessings he will create at that time will be the blessings of the common people.

Li Huai seemed to have heard her movements, and looked back warily.

Xi Lan immediately came back to her senses, because she saw shock in Li Huai's eyes!

She saw Li Huai slowly put the green leaf in her hand into the water, and at the same time, she felt something moving behind her, only three feet away from her.

That's a big guy, otherwise it wouldn't cause ground movement.

She subconsciously touched the sword at her waist. Li Huai originally wanted to warn her not to move, but it was obviously too late, so he whistled at her immediately.

She felt a strong wind hit her, and immediately fell to the ground.

Then I saw a yellow living thing jumping from the side, it turned out to be a tiger!

There were tigers on the west mountain, which frightened her a lot.

The tiger was still observing its prey, and when it saw her moving, it was about to pounce on her, but at this moment Li Huai whistled, which caught its attention, so it pounced desperately towards Li Huai.

Li Huai didn't have a weapon on him, and when he saw the tiger rushing towards him, he immediately grabbed a stone and hit the tiger's head with great precision.

The tiger was hit straight, but because its fur was too thick, it didn't cause serious problems. Instead, it thought it was this move, and was enraged, howled, and rushed towards Li Huai again. At this time, Li Huai had no time to pick up stones anymore. He just jumped up to the nearby tree trunk nimbly, but he didn't hide on the tree trunk, he just took advantage of the height of the tree trunk, jumped down, and even rode on the back of the tiger impartially.

"do not come!"

Xi Lan had already drawn her sword and was about to go up to help kill the tiger, but when she heard his words, she was startled and at a loss.

"My lord, be careful!"

The tiger was riding under him, howling and shaking its sharp claws. Li Huai kept grabbing its head and ears, and was almost thrown off the tiger's back several times, but held on with astonishing strength!

When the tiger couldn't shake Li Huai away, he chose to rush into the stream.

The mountain stream was not deep, only about half the height of a person. The tiger jumped in and just submerged to the neck. It swam desperately to the other side of the stream, as if fleeing from something more terrifying than the king of beasts.

Only then did Xi Lan realize that what it was trying to escape was Li Huai.

But what happened next made her even more unbelievable.

The tiger led Li Huai across the mountain stream, and unexpectedly lay down on the ground on the opposite bank, like a submissive citizen.

Xi Lan couldn't believe what she saw with her eyes, she ran into the stream with her sword in hand, and saw that Li Huai was still sitting on the tiger's back, stroking the wet hair on the tiger's back with her hands.

That is a ferocious carnivorous tiger!Not a horse, let alone a dog!
What is Li Huai doing?
Even, he seems to have succeeded!
Impossible, the evil energy in his body was suppressed by Baiyu Guanyin, but there still seemed to be another mysterious power in him!
After a long time like this, Li Huai got off the tiger's back.

The tiger howled twice in a heavy voice, and was no longer aggressive.

Li Huai whispered something to it, and the tiger lowered its head and jumped into the forest ahead.

Only then did Xi Lan run over in surprise, and asked, "How did you do it?"

The man looked confused, he looked down at his hand, and answered after a while, "I don't know, I wanted to kill it!"

"You really don't know?"

But why, she felt that he had done this countless times?

Did she see something wrong?Or, does she not know the person in front of her well enough?

"I originally wanted to fetch some water for you to go back, but it was just a false alarm, let's go back!"

She frowned, still undecided by the scene just now, but Li Huai still looked calm, as if what appeared just now was not a tiger, but just a cat.

The two of them crossed the mountain stream, and on the way back to the cave, Xi Lan suggested: "My lord seems to be in a stable body now, so I can go down the mountain and return home today!"

Li Huai, who was walking in front, heard her words, stopped and did not turn his head, "The king has returned to the mansion, so you...where are you going?"

"Me?" She hesitated, and finally replied softly: "I have other things to do, so I won't send the prince off!"

Li Huai didn't answer, and walked forward again.

Not knowing what was going on in their minds, neither of them spoke for a while.

After returning to the cave, they cleaned up briefly, and the two went down the mountain together.

At the foot of the mountain, she found her horse, and they walked together to the intersection of the two roads. Xi Lan cupped her hands and said to Li Huai who was on the horse: "My lord, take care!"

"You too!"

Saying goodbye, Li Huai rode his horse away.

In this way, the news that King Xu entered the city quickly spread into the palace!
"Huai'er is back?" The emperor hadn't set down in the morning, when he heard the good news, he was about to go out of the palace to see his son.

But for the first time, he was stopped by Queen Nalan's family!

"Your Majesty, what are you doing out of the palace in such a hurry, Lao Qi has already entered the palace!"

Li Huai knew the etiquette, knowing that in the past two days when he disappeared, the whole city was in a turmoil, and the emperor probably died of anxiety, so after returning to the city, the first thing he did was to go to the palace to meet the saint.

Now, seeing his favorite son come back safe and sound, the emperor was overjoyed, and after listening to the queen's words, he wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate.

The emperor didn't think too much, and agreed immediately!

Since it was a banquet for Lord Xu, Princess Xu was naturally indispensable.

What was even more surprising was that the Queen was too enthusiastic this time, and had already sent someone to the palace to invite someone!
So here the emperor had just approved the dinner in front of Li Huai, and someone immediately reported that Princess Xu was missing!

The emperor was shocked, the son had just been found, why did the daughter-in-law disappear?

The queen next to her said with a little deep meaning: "Your Majesty, my concubine has something to say, don't know if I should say it or not?"
