The Archmage's plain face showed his trademark gentle smile, and he bowed his head to Li Ping'an.
"Master Bo Duoli, please give me a seat if you come...move more seats."
On the side, fairies brought more than a dozen ornately decorated comfortable chairs. After the fairies bowed, they each took their seats.
After the fairies retreated, all the fairies in the hall looked at the nine-tailed fox again.
Zhao Gongming asked: "His Majesty called us to come and witness something, but I don't know what it is specifically."
Li Ping'an said seriously: "The remaining soul of Donghuang Taiyi."
"Ah?" Li Dazhi stared and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"
"I used some dishonorable means."
Li Pingan said calmly:
The Queen Mother said: "Don't be ignorant of praise."
Taishang Laojun, who was sitting at the front of the audience, heard this and said slowly:
The nine-tailed fox raised his head and stared at Li Ping'an, mostly begging.
"When the fetus is born, the remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi will be taken away by you, and a ray of your soul will be taken out to take a look.
"You first use a secret method to impregnate a woman from the Tianhu tribe. Before the fetus is born with a soul, a ray of your soul carries the remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi into the fetus.
The nine-tailed fox smiled bitterly: "If you know everything, why do you ask me?"
"Your Majesty is kind, so if you take the opportunity to speak to me, Heaven does not want to use force on you, but it does not mean that it cannot use force on you."
"You don't need to ask any more questions. I don't know the details. The nine-tailed fox has not yet been interrogated."
"The enmity between Donghuang Taiyi and the Wu clan is too deep," Li Ping'an said. "Unless fellow Taoist Houtu speaks out, I cannot protect his remnant soul, nor can I save it."
Li Pingan said:
"yes."
Li Ping'an thought for a moment and said slowly: "The remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi is in you, right?"
Gui Lingling blinked and used her small hands to pinch Qingsu's waist, but Qingsu casually knocked it off.
"This is definitely not seizing one's body.
"Every once in a while, you need to foster the remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi in the body of a living being to absorb the power of the living being.
"During the period of being banned, you often used a ray of soul to go out and kill your people to survive, right?"
There was a little more smile in the eyes of the nine-tailed fox: "Is this considered a favor to me by Your Majesty?"
"The remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi is related to the Chaos Bell, and the Chaos Bell is one of the few treasures in the world. In order to avoid any suspicion of my heavenly family, I have invited you all to be witnesses.
"In the current catastrophe, if we want to gain a chance of survival, the only way is to unite sincerely and reduce grudges.
Tears filled the eyes of the nine-tailed fox: "Then if I say these things, I will completely kill him. How can I say that?"
"I saw this secret method from the remnant soul of Emperor Jun, and it was circulated in ancient times."
"But as compensation, I can promise you that even if there are major crimes in your confession, the biggest punishment for you later will be banning and imprisonment.
Li Ping'an said: "If my prediction is correct, this secret method is to keep the remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi alive."
"It was deceived from the Nine-tailed Fox, and it also stopped Grandmaster Hongjun's plan against the Nine-tailed Fox. It can be regarded as a mistake.
Guangchengzi shook his fly whisk, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
The nine-tailed fox stood up slowly, looking lonely, with a bit of helplessness and bitterness on his beautiful face.
"But Your Majesty, I just want to..."
Li Pingan said slowly:
"That's not seizing the body," the nine-tailed fox said, "I have a secret method that allows the Sky Fox tribe to become pregnant by sensing the power of my soul. If my soul doesn't go away, the fetus will grow on its own."
"If there are no new crimes in your truthful confession, the Heavenly Court will not convict you. I will personally provide you with protection. After all, the evil deeds you committed in ancient times have been punished by being banned for hundreds of thousands of years." .”
The nine-tailed fox pursed its lips tightly.
"How cruel," Gui Lingling whispered, "The reproduction of living beings is the most sacred thing, but it is used to heal wounds."
"I won't comment on the nature of what you did. At the very least, it is hurtful to those women."
"Well," Li Ping'an nodded, "in order to have less worries.
"Uncle, you're welcome," Li Ping'an said, "Let's stop chatting and get to the point... Nine-tailed fox, Cuihua? Raise your head."
"This, um, that's right."
Qing Su said, "What about dual cultivation and dual cultivation techniques?"
"It's really cruel to ask you to reveal your heartache in public."
"The matter of giving birth to a living being is extremely complicated. A pregnant woman's body will produce a soul-warming substance. This substance is quite mysterious. The biggest advantage is that no matter how weak or how damaged the soul of the Yuan Spirit is, it can be healed. The injury is absorbed and gradually recovered.
Li Ping'an lowered his head and glanced at the two of them. Gui Lingling suddenly sat upright, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Qing Su's mouth.
"yes."
She whispered: "Your Majesty, does it have to be so grand?"
Li Pingan said slowly:
"Nine-tailed fox, most things in the world have traces to follow.
"You think you can protect his remnant soul. In fact, as long as Donghuang Taiyi recovers his consciousness and thinking, Heaven will take action.
"It's better to give up on this thought before you make a big mistake."
"Unless I die!"
The nine-tailed fox's eyes are red:
"If I burn my soul now, Your Majesty, you will get nothing!
"All I ask is that you...please give his remnant soul a chance to reincarnate. Even if he cannot be reincarnated, you can imprison him wherever you want...I will treat you like a cow, a horse, and a slave..."
The nine-tailed fox suddenly cried out in a trembling voice, his voice trembling continuously.
Facing these masters in front of her, she had no bargaining chips. Her beauty was nothing at all. Her cultivation was her only value, but compared with the clues from Chaos Zhong, it was a world of difference.
She no longer knew how to protect Donghuang's remaining soul.
Li Ping'an's face remained as usual, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he couldn't show it.
The nine-tailed fox suppressed a whimper, and its body continued to tremble.
She slowly pressed her forehead to the ground, begging silently in a way that gave up all dignity.
Zhao Gongming sighed: "It's just a remnant soul. Donghuang Taiyi is also the number one figure in ancient times. It's okay to stay. I believe the Wu Clan will understand."
Fairy Qiongxiao also said: "Your Majesty, just give us some face."
Master Yuding said slowly: "Why don't you invite Empress Houtu over?"
Guangchengzi said: "That would only make things difficult for fellow Taoist Houtu. Donghuang Taiyi killed so many of the witch clan's warriors in the Battle of the Sky, and almost all the ancestral witches were killed by him."
The whisk in Taishang Laojun's hand shook slightly.
The nine-tailed fox didn't notice that a ray of light slowly floated out from her back, forming a faint figure with disheveled hair behind her.
All the immortals watched silently.
Li Dazhi suddenly stood up and stared at this figure as if he had seen a ghost.
Li Ping'an frowned and looked at his father, and asked softly: "Father, what's wrong?"
"No," Li Dazhi's face turned pale and his breathing was a little hampered, but he returned to normal almost instantly, and a smile appeared on his lips, "I admitted my mistake, I thought I had seen the reincarnation of this guy on Jin'ao Island. , they probably look quite similar, which scared me."
"Eh?" Guiling looked at the faint figure carefully, "Is there one? Why don't I remember it?"
Li Pingan was a little suspicious, but it was not easy to ask in detail at the moment.
The nine-tailed fox had not noticed the figure appearing behind her, and her trembling voice was already on the verge of complete collapse.
"Please...he only has this remnant of his soul...he cannot threaten the current heaven and underworld..."
The figure seemed to be attracted by the voice of the nine-tailed fox, and regained some consciousness. He lowered his head and slowly squatted down, and raised his hand to cover the shoulders of the nine-tailed fox.
There was no sound.
The nine-tailed fox's body trembled continuously. When she turned to look at the figure behind her, she couldn't help but froze.
Donghuang Taiyi had disheveled hair.
His long hair was casually hanging around, and he was wearing a dark brown ancient toga. His figure was not majestic, his face was probably just a bit heroic, and his Taoist body was no different from his innate Taoist body.
Therefore, there is only the remnant soul at the moment, and there is no pressure around him.
Just like a mortal soul, so fragile that it seems to be blown away by the wind inadvertently.
The power of ancient times;
The ancient emperor of heaven;
The old enemy of the witch clan;
Now, only such a remnant soul is left, which really makes all the immortals here sigh.
"teacher……"
"Well," Donghuang Taiyi responded, raising his hand to gently touch her forehead, "I never thought I was gone, thank you for your hard work."
The nine-tailed fox opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out. Unconsciously, he burst into tears.
She suddenly rushed over, wanting to hug Donghuang Taiyi, but the moment her body came into contact with the remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi, a stream of light exploded from between them, scaring the nine-tailed fox into hastily pulling away.
This remnant soul is too weak.
But those streams of light are just a little bit of Donghuang Taiyi's memory.
Inspired by the nine-tailed fox, memories related to the nine-tailed fox.
…
"Little fox, are you injured?"
In the mountain forest on a rainy night, a fox whose hind legs were bitten by a wild beast hid under a tree to take shelter from the rain.
A young Taoist dressed in white walked out of the rain and saw the snow-white fox under the tree. He lowered his head and stared at the fox's figure quietly.
The young Taoist stretched out his hand, and the little fox bared his teeth in threat, and then his head was touched and rubbed hard several times.
A bit of fairy light flashed across, and the little fox's injury was healed.
The young Taoist did not stay long, smiled and waved to the little fox, and continued walking in the rain.
He seemed to have something on his mind and was thinking about it from here.
The little fox tilted his head and glanced at the young Taoist for a few times, then followed him in the rain.
"Why, I saved you and you still rely on me?"
The young Taoist sighed softly:
"Well, since there is some causal connection, I will give you some benefits and give you a way to practice. How you go in the future depends on your own opportunities."
After saying this, the young Taoist shook his head with a smile, turned around and disappeared.
The little fox has a little pink mark on his forehead, and the aura in his eyes gradually increases.
This is the first meeting.
The second time we met, it was a rainy night again.
The young Taoist was still walking in the rain, worried and a little distracted.
Unknowingly, he came to a cliff, and just as he was about to step over it, a white-furred fox jumped out from the side and knocked him aside.
However, the white-haired fox obviously underestimated the strength gap between the two.
It hit a layer of fairy light firmly and was knocked backwards.
If the young Taoist hadn't taken action in time, it would have been directly killed by the force of the counterattack.
Now that the little fox has a complete intelligence, he realizes that there is a huge gap in strength between it and the master in front of him.
A celestial light dragged it over.
"Are you afraid that I will fall and die?"
The young Taoist had a smile in his eyes and a hint of smile in the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't a mockery, but it was clearly a bit of a joke.
The little fox purred a few times.
The young Taoist sighed softly: "It's rare to find a creature who treats me well. Little fox, how about I accept you as a registered disciple?"
The little fox nodded repeatedly.
The young Taoist raised his hand and rubbed its head, seeming to like its hair.
The Taoist took the little fox to the back mountain.
There was a fog there. After the fog dissipated, you could see a quiet fenced courtyard. Outside the courtyard was a mountain stream. Inside the courtyard were rocking chairs, climbing frames, millstones, and scattered everywhere, at first glance, they looked like valuable wine containers. .
The little fox has made his home here.
As soon as the scene changed, it was the day of her transformation.
She transformed into a five or six-year-old girl with a fox tail and fox ears. She was hit by the clothes thrown by the young Taoist and giggled there.
There are more than ten scrolls in a row, showing the time spent by the young Taoist and the little fox.
Time moved very slowly back then;
But here it only passed by quietly in an instant.
The little fox grew up slowly, from a cute little girl to a smart girl.
The young Taoist seems to be very leisurely. He repeats several things every day, reading scriptures, contemplating the heaven and earth, and taking a nap on the rocking chair.
The little fox became a touch of color in his monotonous life, and the color gradually became richer.
There is an exquisite attic behind the hut.
The little fox became aware of beauty and began to think about how to dress up. She flew like a butterfly in the valley, constantly showing off her feminine charm.
But when the young Taoist looked at her, he would frown from time to time.
The little fox's strength improved a bit too quickly.
She began to awaken her ancient bloodline.
There was a clear change in the young Taoist's eyes, which showed regret, helplessness, bitterness, and anger.
He began to lose his temper with the little fox for no reason, and began to find some magic brew to keep himself alternately between sober and drunk.
That day the young Taoist had just woken up and found another drink.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
the little fox asked softly.
"It's okay," the young Taoist said in a hoarse voice, not looking at the extremely charming little fox beside him, "My recent poor practice has nothing to do with you... Go out for a walk and see this bustling world. If If you think it's nice outside, just find a cave outside. Now that you're quite strong, if you keep a low profile, you won't be targeted by strong people."
"Teacher, do you want to drive me away? I...I did something wrong..."
"I told you it has nothing to do with you!"
The young Taoist suddenly lost control and stood up and glared at the little fox.
She was frightened. She lowered her head and didn't know how to answer. Her hands were tugging at the corners of her clothes uneasily.
"Let's go practice today."
The figure of the young Taoist then disappeared.
The little fox opened her mouth, with doubts in her eyes, but she didn't say anything more, packed her bags, lowered her head and left the courtyard.
The subsequent scenes were not shown because there was no intersection between the two.
The story continues two to three thousand years later.
The little fox has completely matured into a great beauty. When she walked in the world, she attracted countless bees and butterflies, and many masters coveted her beauty, but she never suffered any intimidation or harassment.
Because there is a master protecting me secretly.
She has seen a lot of the filthiness of living beings, and her Taoist heart has become more crystal clear.
This time she returned to the river valley because she felt that she no longer needed to experience it.
She couldn't find the small courtyard.
There is no white mist, no Taoist breath, no trace of the formation.
But what the little fox couldn't see was that the small courtyard was actually right in front of her, hidden in the mist.
The young Taoist stood at the gate of the courtyard with his hands folded, looking at the anxious figure of the little fox walking around across the slightly twisted universe, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
A bronze 'bell' flew out from the young Taoist's shoulder, and a beautiful shadow appeared under the bell.
At this moment, the eyes of all the masters in Lingxiao Palace had obvious changes.
