The vast land of China is boundless. In addition to humans who are known as the spirits of all things, there are countless people who have been born with humans in this world. Such as poultry, chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, and wild beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards, they are all humans.
Common and familiar.
Since ancient times, there have been many anecdotes and legends circulating in the world. In the wild and remote places in the four directions of China, among the barren mountains and rivers, there are some ancient spiritual beasts and ancient Tao species that remain in the world. For thousands of years, countless people have traveled across mountains and rivers to capture dragons and monsters.
The legend of the hot-blooded boy has always been talked about and passed down from word to mouth.
Among these many legends, the fox demon clan may not be the most ferocious and powerful monsters, but there is no doubt that they are the most magical, mysterious and the only legend with some human touch in the eyes of the world.
When ancient behemoths such as the "Black Water Black Snake" have become the goals of countless young people to prove their spiritual strength, the fox monster often seems to be a bit ambiguous in people's mouth. Although there have always been legends of fox monsters hurting people.
, but unlike other monster legends, the fox demon clan often leaves behind touching stories such as falling in love with people. This is a very prominent and unusual strange thing in the various legends about monsters causing harm to the world.
Of course, these are just rumors spread among ordinary people. In the eyes of real practitioners, the fox demon clan is a group of extremely intelligent and even cunning creatures. Their power is far inferior to that of the black water black snake.
They are incredible ancient beasts, but these monsters understand human feelings. It is even said that after cultivating to a certain level, the fox demon clan has the ability to transform into adults. This is the reason why those poignant human-monster romances are spread.
Among the fox demon clan, there is one of the most intelligent and mysterious branches. It is said that as their spiritual practice increases, their tails will continue to grow. A hundred years of Taoism will have three tails, called demon foxes; a thousand years of Taoism will have six tails.
, it is a spirit fox; and when it reaches the point where it has nine tails, it is the supreme realm of monsters in the world. No one knows how many years of practice it will take to achieve this, but according to legend, a fox demon who has reached the nine-tailed level in Taoism
It is already a peerless monster with magical powers, and is called the "Nine-tailed Sky Fox"!
It's just that this legend is so magical that most people in the world don't know it, but in Gui Li's heart, it's like a bright mirror. It's not for anything else, just for the figures of the pair of fox demons who died in love under the Fire Dragon Cave ten years ago.
It was the first time in his life that his once firm faith was impacted.
Every time I dream back at midnight, the bleak and beautiful figure of the white fox is vaguely visible.
Roads of blue light refracted from the hard and cold ice to the surroundings, illuminating the three floors of the altar with uncertain brightness. In front of Gui Li and Xiao Hui, from the deepest part of the darkness, with some light blue
In the strange dim light, a huge figure slowly appeared.
A white fox, a huge white fox!
It was the first time in Gui Li's life that he saw the true form of such a huge white fox. From where he stood, the white fox was twice as tall as him, as tall as two people. Even under this dim light,
The pure white fur is still so beautiful, and the smooth down is as soft as the best silk in the Central Plains.
This is an animal that makes people feel beautiful at first sight, but its body is so huge that it feels a bit scary even without realizing it. In fact, this white fox is in an extremely excited mood at this moment.
The originally silent altar space was now filled with the wails and screams of the white fox, and a pair of deep black eyes set on fair skin were also filled with madness.
The blue light became brighter and brighter, and the wind started to blow at some point. The corners of Gui Li's clothes were fluttering, and Xiao Hui was screaming loudly and grinning at the white fox, making a fierce shape.
Huo Di, the white fox neighed in its throat. Huo Ran's front feet left the ground and straightened up. Almost in line with its movements, Gui Li felt that the ice around him suddenly glowed with blue light. Amidst the roar, two huge pieces of ice were heard. There were more than three people in the room.
The tall ice cube moved out of thin air and hit Gui Li fiercely.
Gui Li frowned, and a soul-eating cyan light emerged, driving him and Xiao Hui back quickly. Almost at the same moment when their figures disappeared, two huge pieces of ice collided with a deafening sound.
It turned into broken ice and scattered on the ground.
But before they could stop, the entire three floors of the altar were illuminated with blue light. In an instant, the strange demonic power in the space was strong, and countless ice cubes, large and small, slowly disappeared.
Floating in the mid-air, it looked colorful and shining, and it was extremely beautiful and spectacular.
Gui Li frowned even more tightly. This nine-tailed celestial fox was indeed extremely powerful. All the demons and strange beasts he had encountered over the years, except for the incredible eternal behemoths like the black water black snake, were the only ones with this nine-tailed sky fox in front of him.
The tail sky fox is the most powerful.
But somehow, when he looked through the countless ice cubes shining with beautiful and coquettish blue light, and stared at the white figure, and its slightly crazy and deeply sad eyes, he felt a certain feeling that he had not seen for many years.
, just like the figures of the pair of demon foxes who died in love, began to linger in his heart, and he was unwilling to take action against this white fox no matter what.
But while he was hesitating here, the nine-tailed sky fox over there let out a sharp roar, and instantly, as if under mysterious orders, countless ice cubes floating in the air rushed towards him at a speed as fast as lightning.
Gui Li's face turned cold. He reached out and hugged Xiao Hui to his chest. At the same time, he flew away to the side while controlling the Soul Eater. For a moment, the sky was filled with blue light flashing, ice as hard as rain, and ice cubes colliding and roaring.
The sound is endless. Every moment of lightning, countless rays of white light and blue ice are chasing that cyan figure.
It's just that this green shadow is like a ghost, often hiding in every gap, in the icy rain in the sky, from left to right, or up and down, avoiding the seemingly endless layers of icy rain.
The white fox screamed louder, but for some reason, it sounded like it was out of breath despite its anger. In the middle of the fierce fight, a blue shadow suddenly flashed, and Gui Li's figure somehow passed through.
It broke through the layers of ice and rushed close to the white fox itself.
The white fox was startled, and its beautiful white fur moved automatically. It waved its front paws, and it looked like it was about to use some kind of strange magic. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a dark red light suddenly rose from behind it. Almost at the same time,
The white fox's body was shaken, as if it had been hit hard, its eyes were confused, and in a moment all its demon power dissipated, and its body fell down exhausted.
And at the next moment, a green shadow floated over, and a pale hand stretched out from the light, grabbing the white fox's neck very quickly.
The white fox let out a low cry, its eyes filled with pain and helplessness, but looking at its expression, it closed its eyes as if accepting its fate, closing its eyes and waiting to die.
The tentacles were covered with fur that was cold and still soft. Gui Li's hand fell on the white fox's throat. The white fox's huge body was in front of him, but for some reason, at this moment, it was just like a fragile little thing in his hand.
bird.
Xiao Hui lay on Gui Li's chest and suddenly screamed a few times.
Gui Li looked at the white fox in front of him silently and slowly retracted his hand.
The white fox slowly opened its eyes, and what fell into its sight was the figure of the man standing in front of it.
One person and one fox, just staring at each other!
"Boom!"
Along with a roar, the ice cubes flying in the sky behind Gui Li lost their demonic power and fell one after another, colliding with each other, ice crystals splashing, and white icy mist flying everywhere, rushing over from behind, pulling Gui Li and
The figure of the white fox is completely hidden.
After a long time, the ice dust gradually fell, and the figures of Gui Li and Bai Hu reappeared.
Xiao Hui didn't know when he climbed up on Gui Li's shoulder again. His three eyes blinked, looking at Gui Li, then at the white fox in front of him, and then looked around again, as if he was suddenly fascinated by the beauty scattered all around.
Bing Jing became interested, jumped down from Gui Li's shoulder, sat on the ground, picked up a few beautiful ice cubes that emitted a blue light, and started playing with them.
The white fox's eyes moved from Gui Li to Xiao Hui, took a deep look, and then returned to Gui Li. After a moment, he said, "Why don't you kill me?"
Its words sounded like it had obviously calmed down at this moment. Gui Li did not answer immediately, but looked behind the white fox unexpectedly. Soon, he found what he had guessed.
A dark red iron chain as thick as an ordinary person's arm was locked around the white fox's waist. At this moment, looking at it, I saw a faint red light in the iron chain. From a distance, I could feel the strange magic power.
Just now, the white fox suddenly lost power in the middle of a fierce fight. It was obvious that this restriction had taken effect. It is not surprising that if there were not such a powerful restriction, how could this mysterious fire altar with the peerless demonic power of the legendary nine-tailed sky fox?
Can you trap it?
The white fox looked at Gui Li, who didn't answer its question, and it didn't seem to care, because what it cared about was something else entirely.
"Where's Xiaoliu? Did you kill it and then take the 'Xuanhuojian'?" Its voice sounded low and tired.
Gui Li was silent for a while, then slowly said: "The Xiaoliu you are talking about is a six-tailed spirit fox with six tails?"
The white fox's huge body shook slightly and lowered its head.
"It's dead!" Gui Li said in a low voice, but clearly.
The white fox looked at the ground in front of him and said quietly: "How did you die?"
"Ten years ago, two friends and I heard that there was a monster worshiping under the black stone cave in Xiaochi Town, so we went to check it out." Gui Li's face was as calm as water, and he talked about the past lightly. For a moment, the huge space was filled with silence.
There was no sound, only his voice floating gently, and occasionally the sound of Xiao Hui playing next to him.
"...In the end, it saw that it couldn't do anything and the three-tailed demon fox also died, so it decided to commit suicide. Before dying, he tied the Xuanhuo Jian to my hand." Gui Li reached out and took out the Xuanhuo Jian from his arms.
, I saw that under the surrounding faint blue light, the ancient flame totem seemed to be burning gently.
The white fox stared at the Xuan Huo Jian blankly, as if he was in a daze. He didn't know how long it had passed before he said in a low voice: "Xiao Liu is my son!"
…
The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed like death. Gui Li looked at the white fox in front of him and suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe.
The white fox shadow carved deep in the heart and falling into the hot magma is as clear as before.
Ten years have passed, but it seems like only yesterday.
What has quietly changed your mind and mine?
"I am also responsible for the death of your son." Gui Li said calmly, "If you have a chance in the future, just come and kill me."
The white fox raised his head and took a deep look at him. For some reason, Gui Li suddenly felt that the white fox was smiling, looking back with thousands of years of vicissitudes and a slightly sad smile.
"It can tell you the mysterious fire. I am his mother. Don't I know what it was thinking at that time?" The white fox said quietly, turning around slowly, and the iron chain locked around its waist made a harsh sound.
The voice imprisoned him.
Gui Li watched the white fox slowly walking towards the depths of darkness. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart and blurted out: "How can I help you?"
The white fox paused, but did not turn around, but its voice suddenly had a hint of excitement: "Are you willing to help me?"
Gui Li didn't speak or answer.
The white fox slowly turned around, and at this moment, suddenly, a strange light seemed to shine in its black and deep eyes.
"Three hundred years ago, our fox demon clan snatched the Xuanhuo Jian from Fenxiang Valley, but there were almost no casualties. Except for Xiaoliu who escaped by chance, I was the only one who survived. I was imprisoned in this Xuanhuo Altar and suffered from the 'Xuanhuo'
Chain' torture. My magic power is suppressed by the Mysterious Fire Chain and the 'Eight Ominous Mysterious Fire Array' under the Mysterious Fire Altar, and I suffer day and night."
It sneered and said: "If Fenxiang Valley didn't want to know the whereabouts of the Xuanhuojian from me, it would have killed me long ago."
Gui Li nodded silently.
Bai Hu glanced at him and said: "This mysterious fire chain is a foreign object from heaven and earth. It is blazing. Once it is closed, it cannot be opened unless it is a person who knows the secret spell of Fenxiang Valley. But other than that, as long as there is a mysterious fire mirror, it will be the same.
Can open this thing!"
Gui Li's eyes slowly turned to the Xuanhuo Jian in his hand, and a faint gentle feeling came from the ancient flame totem on the Xuanhuo Jian.
The white fox's voice continued from the front: "The Mysterious Fire Jian is the essence of all fires, the divine weapon that opens the sky. As long as you walk to the end of the stone wall behind me, there is a cylindrical stone platform, and the Mysterious Fire Chain extends from there.
, and at the same time go deep into the underground volcanic magma and absorb endless heat from it. If you place the Xuanhuo Jian on the stone platform, you can unlock the Xuanhuo Chain. Without this restriction, there is no Eight Ominous Xuanhuo Array hosted by the Xuanhuo Jian underneath.
, I can’t stand it anymore.”
Speaking of the latter part, Bai Hu's voice actually trembled slightly, obviously feeling agitated.
Gui Li said nothing, his expression as calm as water.
The white fox looked at him. After a moment, there was deep disappointment in his eyes. He suddenly let out a bitter smile and said softly: "Do you regret it? Then forget it. In fact, who in this world is not like this?"
As it said this, it seemed to be about to turn around again, but Gui Li suddenly moved.
He walked forward slowly and passed by the white fox. Xiao Hui behind him raised his head and seemed to be interested in the situation here again. He jumped over and jumped on Gui Li's shoulder.
Gui Li walked past the white fox, and the white fox also turned around. Its huge body accompanied Gui Li. For some reason, it seemed to have a strange look in its eyes.
"Young man, why do you want to help a monster?"
Gui Li did not look back or move, Bai Hu followed him, and could not even see his expression. But a moment later, he heard the man walking alone in the darkness, whispering to himself: "In fact, who in this world can
Isn’t that the case?…”
"Ten years ago, when I dropped the two of them into the magma with my own hands; ten years ago, under the Zhuxian Formation, when I watched her fall from mid-air..."
The white fox stopped. The end of the mysterious fire chain had a strong restriction on the monster, and it could not move forward. Xiao Hui seemed to feel something at this moment, and jumped down from Gui Li's shoulder, stopping next to the white fox.
But Gui Li did not stop.
The white fox watched silently, and the darkness in the darkest place spread lightly, engulfing the man's figure.
It suddenly sighed!
After a moment, it turned its huge fox head and approached Xiao Hui. Facing this monster that was hundreds of times bigger than itself, Xiao Hui showed no fear.
Let’s look at the white fox together.
"Is he also a sad person?" Bai Hu said quietly.
Xiao Hui blinked, squeaked, and scratched his head with his hands.
The white fox smiled calmly, and there was a hint of sadness in the laughter.
"You don't have enough moral knowledge and your spiritual wisdom is just beginning to open up. How can you know the love of people in the world?"
It whispered softly to you, its voice gradually getting lower and lower, and you could vaguely hear: "It is only because there are such infatuated men in the world that we can still fall deeply in love with each other after thousands of years..."
***********
The entrance to Incense Valley.
The atmosphere became more and more chilling, and the place was quiet. The fish-men tribe stared angrily at the group of people in Fenxiang Valley headed by Shangguan Ce, while the people in Fenxiang Valley were horrified.
Many disciples have begun to look around secretly. The cold wind is blowing, the branches and leaves are dancing lightly, and the low voice of ghosts crying is heard from nowhere in the dark night, which makes people feel chilled.
Shangguan Ce frowned and had a stern look on his face. This unknown murderer only had a high level of spiritual practice, and he was definitely not afraid of it because of his spiritual practice. But a person with this level of spiritual practice was so cruel and ruthless, and he clearly wanted to provoke the Fenxiang Valley and the fish-man barbarians.
The conflict between them is really worrying.
Could it be that Fenxiang Valley’s century-old plan has finally been leaked?
When I think of this, even though Shangguan Ce is a profound practitioner and has a firm determination, I can't help but feel confused in my heart.
But he was not an ordinary person after all. He calmed down after a while, knowing that the mysterious murderer was watching from the dark at this moment, and he must not mess up. Moreover, this was the first time in the past hundreds of years that someone had acted so boldly.
You dare to be so presumptuous in Fenxiang Valley. If you don't teach me a lesson, I'm afraid even cats and dogs will dare to cause trouble in the future!
Shangguan Ce calmed down and moved his head to the side. Li Xun understood and stepped forward. Shangguan Ce said coldly: "Give me the order. All the disciples will mobilize to seal the exits of the valley. At the same time, release all the 'red-eyed eagles'."
Hovering in the sky, we must not let this murderer escape."
Li Xun nodded, hesitated, and whispered: "Uncle Master, where is the Valley Master..."
Shangguan Ce shook his head and said: "Since the Valley Master asked you to send an order to me to handle this matter tonight, he must still be unable to escape. You also know him..." In the middle of the sentence, Shangguan Ce suddenly stopped talking and raised his eyes.
Li Xun glanced at him and said, "I will naturally explain it to him later."
Li Xun lowered his head and said, "Yes, disciple, let's do it now." After saying that, he turned around and left.
When his majestic body walked backwards, the surrounding Fenxiang Valley disciples made way for him, and Yan Hong, who had been standing beside him from the beginning and listened to the conversation between him and Shangguan Ce, a pair of
Looking at Li Xun's figure in his bright eyes, there seemed to be a faint flash of light.
Li Xun's figure quickly disappeared into the darkness deep in Fenxiang Valley. There was a commotion among the murlocs there, and several murlocs screamed strangely at the same time. The tall murloc in the lead chatted with the other monsters.
, turned around with an angry look on his face, and kept saying "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi".
Shangguan Ce frowned, and Sun Tu next to him had already translated: "They asked us to hand over the murderer of their clan leader quickly, or they will kill us all."
Shangguan Ce snorted and looked coldly at the murlocs. The murlocs were obviously a little afraid of Shangguan Ce and were a little embarrassed for a moment. However, after their brutality came up, more murlocs started roaring angrily.
Shangguan Ceqing knows that these fish-men barbarians cannot be treated with common sense, and the big event in Fenxiang Valley is about to happen now. It is definitely not the time to fall out with these southern barbarians. Moreover, the peerless figure hidden in the Shiwan Mountains is not only him, even if he is
Yun Yiding, the master of the valley who has a profound knowledge of the world, is also very afraid.
He was thinking about how to temporarily appease these barbaric aliens, and slowly said: "Everyone, I, Shangguan Ce, will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today, but for the time being, I have to make you stay here..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly and without warning, the ground beneath his feet shook violently.
The vibration was so violent and sudden that many disciples of Fenxiang Valley and fishmen were caught off guard, unsteady and fell to the side.
Shangguan Ce's Taoism is profound, so he is naturally different from those ordinary disciples. He stabilized his body almost instantly. In shock, he unintentionally turned the corner of his eyes and saw that Yan Hong standing next to him was also unstable, but only more unstable than himself.
Slowly and steadily, he stood upright.
"Ah, my God, the sky has changed color!"
I don’t know who was the first to shout. In an instant, everyone looked up at the sky. They saw that the originally dark night sky suddenly turned red at this moment. Countless clouds that looked like burning flames moved quickly and rotated around a certain place.
, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, and the scene was very spectacular.
Shangguan Ce was startled, his face suddenly changed, and he almost subconsciously turned his head to look. Sure enough, the place surrounded by countless burning clouds was the place where the mysterious Xuanhuo Altar was located.
Shangguan Ce was so frightened and angry that he could no longer care about anything else. He stamped his feet fiercely, and his body turned into gray light and flew towards the Xuanhuo Altar at an extremely fast speed. But the moment his body soared into the air, for some reason, his heart felt like lightning.
