Qin Tian subconsciously stood up with a question mark expression on his face.
Have I come to the wrong place?
But that's not right. Debt A sent me here, so I must be here.
This girl Bai looks like a leader. What is she if she isn't the leader of the clan?
Miss Bai was amused by Qin Tian and giggled, "How can I become the leader of the clan? I am only over a hundred years old. I was not born more than a thousand years ago."
"Then who is your clan leader? Can you invite him here for me? I am here mainly to ask your clan leader for debts from more than a thousand years ago." .??.
"Okay, I'll go and invite you over right now. Just wait a moment."
Qin Tian nodded, sat down and waited for the clan leader to come over.
During this period, Qin Tian was a little bored with waiting, so he looked around.
There are many tablets placed above the ancestral hall. Those tablets bear the names of the patriarchs of the past generations. There are about a hundred tablets in total.
It turns out that there have been more than a hundred clan leaders in Qingqiu.
Under the tablet, incense candles were lit and fruits were enshrined, although the fruits were said to be made of stones.
There is also a scroll hanging directly above the tablet, with a portrait painted on the scroll.
It was a woman wearing neon clothes dancing in the air.
Suddenly, Qin Tian frowned, feeling that the features of the woman in the portrait seemed a bit familiar.
"Isn't this... Su Daji?"
Qin Tian took a closer look and confirmed his suspicion.
The features of the woman in this portrait are exactly the same as those of Su Daji, as if they were carved from the same mold.
It's just that the woman in this portrait is a little more agile and fairy-like than Su Daji, and she looks like a fairy from the divine world who cannot be offended.
On the other hand, Su Daji was voluptuous and artificial, and often behaved like a demon, which was completely different from the personality of the woman in this portrait.
Just when Qin Tian was about to take another look, footsteps came from outside the door.
Qin Tian quickly sat back. After all, this was the ancestral hall of the Nine-tailed Fox, so he couldn't do anything disrespectful.
"Young master, you have been waiting for a long time. Our clan leader is here."
I saw Miss Bai stepping into the threshold, followed by two people, an old man and a young man.
The child following the old man was the child held hostage by Bai Xiu earlier.
Qin Tian stepped forward and bowed to the old man, "Hello, patriarch."
"Kekeke..."
Unexpectedly, Miss Bai burst out laughing again, her laughter was so trembling, "Young Master, you have made a mistake again. She is not our clan leader, she is a servant of our clan leader."
Qin Tian was puzzled, pointed at the little girl and said, "Is it her?"
"You are right, she is our clan leader, Bai Luofei."
Miss Bai nodded seriously.
"What?!? She is your clan leader?!"
Qin Tian's eyes widened. Who could believe that the child in front of him who looked only six or seven years old was actually the leader of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.
"Ahem!"
The child coughed twice, put his hands behind his back, and said in an old-fashioned tone, "Why, don't you look like the leader of the clan?"
Qin Tian suddenly recalled, no wonder Bai Xiu held the child hostage and Miss Bai was so nervous.
It turns out that the other party is the leader of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.
Then Qin Tian realized that it was rude to point his finger at others.
He immediately took it back.
He laughed awkwardly, "No, I just didn't expect you to be so young."
In the tone, the word "young" was also specially emphasized.
"It's just because I received some retribution."
Bai Luofei sighed, then walked to the chair on her own.
Her height is not high enough for the chair, and she needs help from the servants around her to sit on the chair.
Qin Tian was a little curious when he heard this, "Retribution?"
"It's just a matter of old sesame and rotten millet, so don't mention it."
Bai Luofei waved her hands with a complicated expression, then changed the topic and asked, "I heard Bai Ling said that you have something to do with me?"
"Oh yes, I almost forgot."
Because of the huge contrast between Bai Luofei and Bai Luofei, Qin Tian almost forgot about the business, "I came here this time for a debt you borrowed from our company more than a thousand years ago. Do you remember it?"
"Is it the thirty million merit points?"
"Exactly."
"This debt was left by the thirty-third clan leader, and our clan leaders all know this."
As she spoke, Bai Luofei took out a purse from her arms, and then took out a white and yellow handkerchief. She opened the handkerchief and found a crystal card inside.
Bai Luofei handed the crystal card to Qin Tian and said, "As early as hundreds of years ago, we had already accumulated these 30 million merit points."
"I just never knew how to repay it, so this crystal card has been passed down to the hands of successive clan leaders, thinking that one day, someone will come to ask for it. Today, the matter was finally completed by Lao Jian."
Qin Tian looked at the crystal card handed over by that childish hand, and a question emerged in his mind.
He looked at Bai Luofei and said, "Since no one has come to ask for this debt for so many years, why don't you use this money to improve the living conditions of the clan?"
If they had these 30 million merit points, their family would not need to live in such poverty, and they might have already lived a wealthy life.
"Hehehe!"
Bai Luofei let out a deep laugh, shook her head and said, "For us, money is not important, we only need the safety of our clan members."
"More than a thousand years ago, in order to be able to defend Qingqiu, the 33rd clan leader borrowed this debt to build the mountain gate outside the valley. If it hadn't been for that mountain gate, our Qingqiu clan would have been destroyed by other people.
The demon clan has been bullied and has nowhere to escape."
"So we can't do this forgetful thing. We must pay back the 30 million merit points."
It turns out that the mountain gate outside the valley was built with these 30 million merit points.
No wonder it looks better than the fine iron in Taishang Laojun's warehouse.
Hearing Bai Luofei's answer, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel a burst of admiration and took the crystal card from the other party's hand.
"By the way, there is one more thing I don't understand. I wonder if the clan leader can help me clarify it?"
"You saved me and my people. Naturally, I know everything and tell you everything."
Qin Tian stretched out his hand and pointed at the scroll hanging directly above, "Is this portrait of Su Daji?"
When they heard the word 'Su Daji', the expressions of the three people were obviously startled, and then became complicated.
Especially Bai Ling, whose pupils trembled slightly and his fists clenched, seemed to hate this name very much.
It’s no wonder, if it weren’t for Su Daji
, the Qingqiu clan will not fall into this situation, let alone stay in the valley every day without being able to leave the mountain.
Anyone from the Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe would not hate her when they heard the words ‘Su Daji’.
"If it's not convenient to answer, then there's no need to answer. Anyway, I'm just asking casually."
Seeing that Bai Ling looked wrong, Qin Tian quickly waved his hand, fearing that it would cause bad memories for them.
The reason why Qin Tian asked this question was because he saw this portrait hanging in the ancestral hall and thought they didn't hate Su Daji that much.
Unexpectedly, it was because of my own nerves that I had misunderstood, which was why Bai Ling reacted so violently.
"well!"
Bai Luofei exhaled a deep breath, waved to the two of them and said, "Bai Ling, Bai Yu, you guys go out."
"yes!"
Bai Ling nodded and exited the ancestral hall with the servants around him, closing the door behind him.
After the two of them went out, Bai Luofei looked at the picture scroll directly above the ancestral hall, with complicated eyes, and said as if talking to herself, "I didn't expect that after so long, someone would still mention her."
"Master, do you know Su Daji?"
Qin Tian nodded, "Su Daji is one of the friends I mentioned. Some time ago, she just lost all her cultivation and is now a mortal. But she and King Zhou should be living well now."
"Is she with King Zhou?"
When she heard this, Bai Luofei's pupils trembled, her eyes were filled with relief, and her eyes were slightly red, as if she had received a little comfort.
Qin Tian nodded, "Yes, I sent her away personally."
"That's good, that's good..."
Bai Luofei shed a tear, feeling like she had been saved, and kept mumbling three words.
Seeing this, Qin Tian showed a hint of confusion, "Don't you hate her? It's her who made your entire nine-tailed fox clan become what it is now, with everyone shouting for beatings, and she also earned the title of a vixen."
"We owe her so much, how can we blame her?" Bai Luofei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but there was still a smile of relief on her lips.
"Owe her too much?" Qin Tian was even more confused. Shouldn't it be that Su Daji owed them more to the Nine-tailed Fox Clan?
"Since the young master and Su Daji know each other, I will tell you the story passed down by our clan chiefs for generations."
Bai Luofei raised her head and looked at the scroll directly above her, and began to tell Su Daji's past.
"Thousands of years ago, Su Daji was the only saint born among us in thousands of years. She was talented and beautiful, and was the most beautiful woman among all the nine-tailed fox tribe."
"At that time, Su Daji was not only pure by nature, but also worked very hard. In more than ten years, she cultivated to the level of Golden Immortal. This is a talent for cultivating immortals that we had not seen thousands of years ago."
"When she was ten years old, she was enshrined as the saint of our Nine-tailed Fox Clan. Under her leadership, our Nine-tailed Fox Clan quickly became ahead of other demon clans and grew stronger day by day."
"In just a few decades, we, Qingqiu, have quickly become famous and become a demon clan that cannot be underestimated in the God Realm."
"After gaining fame, the Saint began to engage in trade. Soon we, Qingqiu, became the largest trading clan in the God Realm. Even the Heavenly Court at that time had to give us Qingqiu three points. After all, the Heavenly Court still relied on us.
Qingqiu distributes salaries to the gods."
When he heard this, Qin Tian frowned.
It's money again.
"As our Qingqiu grew stronger, some forces in the God Realm began to fear us, so they began to use various means to suppress our development in Qingqiu, but all of them were cracked by Su Daji."
"If there was no Conferred God List at that time, maybe our Qingqiu clan would have become the supreme demon clan long ago, and our status could even surpass that of the Phoenix clan and the Dragon clan."
"But...the disaster of becoming a god happened."
When she said this, Bai Luofei choked up, tears welled up in her eyes, and she became even more sad looking at Su Daji's portrait.
She paused, and then continued, "That year, Taibai Jinxing came to our Qingqiu with the Conferred Gods List and invited the saint to complete the great task of the Conferred Gods List."
"But when the saint knew that her mission was to confuse King Zhou and harm Zhongliang, she decisively rejected Taibai Jinxing."
"Taibai Jinxing saw that the saint was unwilling to agree, so he put forward a very tempting condition."
Qin Tian frowned and asked, "What are the conditions?"
"If the saint agrees to complete the list of gods, then the entire Qingqiu will be ranked in the Immortal Class, and the status will be equal to that of the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan."
"No one in the clan at that time was unmoved when they heard this condition. Although we in Qingqiu are strong and powerful, to put it bluntly, we are still demons. Only if we can be ranked in the Immortal Class and have the same status as the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan can we in Qingqiu really rise.
grow."
"But at that time, even if the saint heard such conditions, she had no intention of relenting. It was the tribesmen and the clan leader at that time who kept persuading the saint that she had no choice but to nod and agree."
"Later, the saint took over the list of gods and went to Chaoge..."
When talking about this, Bai Luofei couldn't continue. She lowered her head, wiped away her tears and said, "Most of the descendants already know what happened later."
"Chaoge was captured, King Zhou was thrown into the sea of fire, and Su Daji became a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people. From then on, our Nine-tailed Fox clan has been associated with the word "disaster to the country and the people."
"Afterwards, in order not to be implicated by the saint and convicted, the patriarch at that time drove Su Daji out of Qingqiu."
"Therefore, the patriarchs of the past generations have also received retribution. Anyone who inherits the bloodline of the patriarch will always remain a child, and even their cultivation can only stop at the immortal stage. This is the consequence of betrayal."
"That's not right. Su Daji clearly completed the list of gods according to the requirements of the Jade Emperor. Why did she become a demon concubine that everyone said was harmful to the country and the people?" Qin Tian asked very puzzled.
Concubine Bai Luo replied, "When Chaoge City fell, the Jade Emperor issued an order for the Saint to kill King Zhou with her own hands, but the Saint could not do it, and finally threw herself into the sea of fire together with King Zhou."
"But because the saint is the body of a nine-tailed fox, ordinary fire cannot burn the saint to death. The saint survived."
"But because the saint did not fulfill the Jade Emperor's request, the Jade Emperor did not fulfill his promise as agreed, and imposed all the blame for the Gods List on the saint."
Qin Tian was dissatisfied and said, "Then why doesn't Su Daji explain?"
Bai Luo Fei said, "The saint has explained it, but someone has to believe it. She indeed bewitched King Zhou and caused this disaster. It is also because of her explanation that our descendants will know these unknown secrets."
.”
"This secret was only believed by the next clan leader at that time. She passed this secret to every clan leader so that one day we can avenge the saint. But now it seems...it seems that it is no longer needed."
Because Su Daji had already achieved the result she wanted.
"Later, all the trade proceeds in Qingqiu were seized by the Heavenly Court. From then on, we in Qingqiu were unable to recover."
