Jiang Li smelled the smell on the tail. But he was still a little unsure.
"Hey, these were caught in that tomb. Who would have thought that there is such a ghost fox cave hidden near Fengdu City in this fantasy land of the underworld."
"Those ghost foxes inside are so weak that they can't even transform. But there are really a lot of good things in the Mu Cave."
"Leader Jiang, look, this is a necklace made of chalcedony beads, and this is a porcelain bowl made of crystal soil. There are many more of these things inside. As long as you re-refined them, you can get a lot of magic weapons.
Even if you smash it and sell it for money, you can still make a lot of money."
It's really hard to imagine that these materials were not used to make magic weapons. Instead, they were made into the most common decorations and furniture using ordinary people's simple techniques.
This kind of behavior is a hundred times more exaggerated than begging for food from a golden rice bowl, and is a typical example of wasting natural resources.
The fur of the fox Zhao Tiangang took out also had an aura of aura on it, and one could tell at a glance that it was an excellent weapon refining material.
But what made Jiang Li a little concerned was that there was not one tail hanging behind the fox's fur, but two.
Jiang Li suddenly remembered the flag that the sword cultivator saw in the underground palace.
At first I thought it was just a coincidence that the country had the same name. Now it seems that maybe they are actually the tombs of those two people.
"Thank you for your information. It has been of great help to Jiang. I will definitely come to Chongshan League to sit down when I have time in the future."
This is not a place to stay for a long time. After Jiang Li got the specific location of the Ghost Fox's Mu Cave from Zhao Tiangang, he exchanged greetings and thanked him, then left and continued to rush there.
It only took a few quarters of an hour. With Jiang Li's flying speed, which had already reached the Nascent Soul level, he could already see the outline of Fengdu City from a distance.
But before he could get closer, a bloody sword slashed towards his face.
Jiang Li frowned and reached out to grab the bloody light. The fierce and sharp sword energy pushed forward desperately. That kind of power is indeed very dangerous. Fortunately, Jiang Li's defense ability has always been good, and he can harden the sword light.
Knead it raw in your hands until it's all broken into pieces.
"Wan Tu Sect is doing business, and anyone who crosses this boundary will be killed!"
After Jiang Li crushed the sword light, he looked at the Wan Tu Sect Blood Sword Guard below.
The blood-sword monk stood on a stone tablet, his blade pointed directly at Jiang Li. Judging from his expression, he should be looking forward to Jiang Li rushing up and fighting with him.
Wantumen, this group of lunatics riddled with evil deeds, sooner or later I, Jiang, will come to do justice for heaven.
But now is not the time, he and the Chongshan Alliance are still too weak.
From a distance, I glanced at Fengdu City.
Just like what Zhao Tiangang and others said.
This ghost town has become a mess.
All kinds of vandalism, looting and burning can be heard clearly from dozens of miles away. If you get into it, it is difficult to guarantee that you will stay out of it.
What's more, in the center, there are top monks from all the major forces in the Eastern Region who are digging thousands of feet into the ground, intending to dig out the legendary Fengdu Underground Palace.
Jiang Li was only interested in the ordinary treasures in the ghost market, and with his current strength, he obviously couldn't compete with other top monks.
Now I have no choice but to work with the sword cultivator to see if we can find some opportunities.
Jiang Li did not have any conflict with the Blood Knife monks from Wan Tu Clan.
Instead, he turned away from the ghost town.
Like him, there were also some other casual cultivators from the Eastern Region who came to the vicinity of Fengdu City.
Unfortunately, they were a step too late. The city had been blocked by various sects. They were circling the entire city, trying to find a way to enter from other directions.
However, the nearly one hundred miles around Fengdu City were divided into several areas, guarded by different major forces.
Judging from the combat power invested by the major sects this time, the defensive network is absolutely strong beyond imagination, and ordinary casual cultivators simply cannot withstand the torment.
They can only wait there for the opportunity. If those ghost kings return, there is no telling in the chaos, they may still have some chance.
At this time, Jiang Li, according to what Zhao Tiangang said, found a deserted Gobi. There is no grass growing here and there are no resources, so almost no monks come here. It is said that there is something hidden under this Gobi.
A fox-demon den that can be called a fat sheep.
"Then let me see what this Fengdu Ghost Town has to offer."
He waved his hand and scattered a large number of soul-burial ghost soldiers, letting them search across the desert. He always felt that the dusk cave and Fengdu City were very closely connected.
In fact, the position of this Fengdu Ghost City in the myths and legends of previous lives is not very clear.
The mythological system familiar to Jiang Li and most ordinary people in his previous life should be the gods and stars in the heavens.
The ancient legends governing the underworld should be a series of underworld law enforcement agencies such as the "Palace of the King of Hell", "Gate of Hell", "Yin Yang Realm", and "Eighteen Levels of Hell".
The story about Judge Yama, the head of a bull and the face of a horse, and the impermanence of black and white is a story that everyone is familiar with.
But Fengdu is said to be located beside the Liutian Qinghe River. It has three palaces and nine mansions, palaces and towers. It is as noble as the heavenly palace. The ghost emperor sits here and rules over hundreds of millions of ghosts and gods. It is the legendary destination for the souls of the dead.
It sounds like its power overlaps with that of Yama Palace, and its status is even superior to it.
However, the division of labor between the two is quite unclear. They are both organizations in charge of all the ghosts in the world. Will it happen that if a person dies, two waves of messengers will appear at the same time to seduce the ghosts?
And I have never heard of rumors that the Heavenly Court governs Fengdu.
The Ten Palaces of Yama are also directly under the Heavenly Court, and there is no theory that Fengdu Ghost City has a foot in it.
Thinking about it now, maybe they are not the pantheon of the central heaven at all...
Since he had obtained the approximate location from Zhao Tiangang and the others, Jiang Li quickly discovered a pile of rubble that had been turned over not long ago under a large-scale search by the ghost soldiers.
This pile of rocks looks unremarkable. If it weren't for Zhao Tiangang's information, Jiang Li would not have had time to dig it up and take a look.
After getting closer, he calmed down and sensed it carefully. He soon smelled a familiar smell from the gaps between the rocks.
It was a coquettish smell similar to that of a high-level fox demon. Compared with the smell of the fox girls he had encountered in the Red Lantern Street, the smell here was obviously more advanced and noble, and it was mixed with a faint and soul-stirring aroma.
Jiang Li glanced around and saw no other monks.
As soon as he thought, his body was shrouded in green light, and then his whole body transformed into a slender tree root. He twisted twice nimbly on the soil, followed the gap in the pile of rocks, and got in in the blink of an eye.
.
This is an escape technique based on the Nine Nether Clone and the Nine Nether Taoist Scriptures. It was used in the Evernight City, and now, after a long time, it is possible to escape with Jiang Li.
Incarnate as the roots of the Nine Nether Trees, cut through rocks and earth, and travel across mountains and ridges, just like a fish waving its tail in the water.
The speed is fast and difficult to detect, making it the best choice for killing people, grabbing treasures, and traveling at home.
After practicing to the extreme, you can even use this escape technique to travel back and forth to the Nine Netherworld at will.
Following the gaps in the pile of stones, he went all the way down. After breaking through another layer of floating soil, he finally came to a relatively spacious underground space.
The rubble here collapsed. It should have been specially blown up by Zhao Tiangang and others when they left. They probably wanted to avoid being discovered by other monks and planned to come back a few times in the future.
However, due to some connections between Momen and Jiang Li, he still told him the news.
What surprised Jiang Li was that the underground tomb did not actually look dark. Rows of head-sized luminous pearls were inlaid on the stone walls, illuminating everything around them clearly.
Jiang Li shook his head and marveled.
These are casually mounted on the wall and are rare treasures in the world.
This kind of luminous pearl itself does not actually emit light. Its own ability is to automatically absorb the energy in the earth veins. The luminous effect is actually a phenomenon of the earth veins' spiritual energy gathering and overflowing outwards.
As a rune formation mage, this level of luminous pearl is an important material for the "fool's perpetual motion formation".
For spiritual planters, if a few luminous pearls are inlaid on the spiritual plant greenhouse, the growth rate of the spiritual plants will also double.
Zhao Tiangang and the rest of the casual cultivators had no experience in staying in a large sect, so they actually missed this place and did not take away this kind of treasure.
Woo, woo woo~
Jiang Li walked forward while dismantling the Night Pearl. After walking for a while, several canine-like whimpers came out from behind a corner.
I turned the corner and looked in the direction of the sound. I saw several skinned fox corpses lying there with blood on the ground. Beside them, several white foxes and black foxes were lying on the side. They looked very humane.
Wiping tears.
From the looks of it, he was clearly mourning the death of his companion.
As expected, they are all spirit foxes, and they seem to have quite a lot of intelligence.
"Woo, wait, sisters, be careful, it smells strange again! Oh no, it's a human monk, run!"
A three-tail that had been lying on the ground suddenly raised its head, sniffed left and right, and then turned its head to look at Jiang Li's position.
Jiang Li has multiple states of being odorless, tasteless, and immortal. The smell on his body should have been concealed to a very low level. He didn't expect that he would be discovered by a few foxes so easily.
"Run!"
Those ghost foxes are not very strong and can't even transform. But their speed based on racial talents is really not slow.
One white and one black they collided together and merged directly into a shadow, flying towards the distance.
But Jiang Li's speed was obviously faster. The seeds he waved out grew a large number of vines, which were directly woven into a large net in the air, wrapping up all the ghost foxes.
Their black-and-white spell didn't work, but it obviously didn't last long. After being interrupted, they were re-divided into black and white foxes in the net.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaknjouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Damn humans! You killed my brothers and sisters. How dare you come to the Queen's Tomb! I, Hu Sanmei, will fight with you!"
Inside, a snow-white fox with three tails held up a large vine net with its paws and grinned at Jiang Li.
It's a pity that if it wants to hurt Jiang Li, it will have to practice for at least several hundred more years.
Leader Jiang pulled their tails out from the gaps in the vines and pulled hard. Well, it was real, not glued on.
Everyone knows that the auspicious beast Nine Tails is the ultimate evolution of the fox demon, but in fact, ordinary fox demons, no matter how they practice, cannot grow a second tail.
Because according to the records in the ancient book "Shan Hai Jing", the original text is "Three hundred miles to the east, it is called Qingqiu Mountain. Its yang is full of jade and its yin is mostly green? There is a beast, its shape is like a fox with nine
The tail, when it is peaceful, comes out as auspiciousness, its voice is like that of a baby, it can eat people, and those who eat it are not poisonous."
What it means is that there is a beast called Nine Tails on Qingqiu Mountain, which looks like a fox.
Its characteristics are that it has nine tails, its voice is as crisp as a baby's, and it can eat people. If you eat its flesh, your people's hearts will not be deceived.
It only appears when the world is at peace and is an auspicious beast.
Therefore, this Qingqiu beast only looks like a fox, and there is no necessary blood relationship between the two.
Only the beasts in Qingqiu can gradually grow and eventually give birth to the Nine Tails when their cultivation, opportunity, and providence are all there.
Their official scientific names should be from one to two, three to nine.
Just because they look so much like the Fox Clan, the two are often confused. Later generations simply called them the Fox Clan.
The origins of the two black and white ghost foxes here are quite clear.
"You misunderstood. I have just arrived here, and your companions did not die by my hands."
"Also, you said this is the empress's tomb? May I ask which empress is buried here?"
Jiang Li lifted up the vine net and asked the foxes.
"Treacherous human being. I will not believe you! Let my sisters out quickly! If you want to catch you, just catch me."
The Ghost Fox Tomb, which had just suffered a catastrophe, was now very vigilant, and it was obviously impossible to convince them with just words.
"Don't worry, I don't mean any harm. Some of the spiritual fruits here are my thoughts. I believe that after you eat them, you will understand that I am a good person."
Jiang Li smiled, took out a few small Jiuyou Earth Fruits, and brought them to their mouths.
His gift was a generous gift of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fruit. I believe that such a treasured gift will definitely be very effective in improving his favorability.
"Sisters, never eat food given by humans! He must have evil intentions!"
The three-tailed fox who called herself Hu Sanmei was still baring her teeth and mouthing human words.
Jiang Li ignored it and handed a few Nine Nether Fruits to the mouths of those one, two and three tails.
The strong aroma of ground fruits filled their nostrils in an instant. Even if they had just encountered a disaster, even if they were actually carnivores, they could not resist their body's instinct, and saliva flowed down.
Even Jiang Li himself would find it difficult to resist the temptation of the Nine Ghost Fruit, not to mention these wild and untamed monsters.
The corner of his mouth was drooling all over the floor. Finally, a fox couldn't bear it any longer. He grabbed the ground fruit in Jiang Li's hand and put it into his mouth.
Without even chewing, he swallowed the ground fruit wholeheartedly. The two-tailed fox immediately narrowed its eyes happily and hummed toward Jiang Li to please him. It brought its tail to its mouth and trembled slightly.
His furry face was filled with the intoxication of eating the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fruit.
When the other foxes saw the expressions on their companions, they couldn't bear it anymore. Regardless of Hu Sanmei's obstruction, they all got their heads out of the gaps in the vine net and took the fruit from Jiang Li's hand.
"All your companions have eaten. If you are the only one who doesn't eat, you will be out of character."
In the end, only Hu Sanmei was left as a fox. Jiang Li opened its mouth, pinched the last Jiuyou Earth Fruit and stuffed it into its mouth.
A few quarters of an hour later, Jiang Li let go of the vine net, and there were already six more foxes on the ground, looking up at him and looking cute.
Among them, three are black and three are white, two pairs have two tails, and one pair has three tails.
"Tell me who your fox fairy empress is?"
Six little foxes led Jiang Li deep into the tomb.
Although this tomb is not large in scale, it is extremely rich in burials. Countless treasures of heaven and earth are scattered on the ground as casually as stones and sand.
After walking through a maze-like tomb passage, he finally entered a luxurious palace.
In the palace, there is a beautiful female statue.
Six fox demons came forward, bowed respectfully and shouted.
"Greetings to Empress Daji!"
Seeing this, Jiang Li finally confirmed his thoughts.
Buried in this twilight cave is not none other than the last empress of the Human Emperor, the Nine-tailed Sky Fox Su Daji!
Since Daji is here, there is no need to guess about the person under the Fengdu Underground Palace.
