Hearing Tieshan's words, Li Xiuyuan, who was talking to his father, stopped immediately.
"It's just a fox, nothing to make a fuss about." Li Dafu said, "Just drive it away. It's not like we encountered tigers and wolves in the mountains."
"Yes, it's the master, but this fox is the one we met before." Tieshan's voice was filled with fear.
The one before?
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved and he immediately said: "Father, let me go and take a look."
After saying that, he rode his horse and ran forward for a short distance.
The only fox I met before was the green fox.
The green fox whose legs were broken by Tieshan and then let go by Li Xiuyuan.
He still remembered the name of the green fox, Qing'e.
It was a maid that his father bought at a bargain price on the roadside, and planned to make her his concubine, but he didn't know that she was a vixen.
"Uu~!"
Li Xiuyuan arrived on horseback and immediately saw a green fox squatting on the road not far away, slowly wagging a green fluffy tail behind it.
Its fur was shiny and immaculately groomed, and its eyes flashed slightly. There was no trace of the wildness of a beast, but instead it was full of agility and revealed its humanity.
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he felt that this green fox was slightly different from before. It seemed to have more fairy spirit. At a glance, he knew that it was not an ordinary fox.
"Young Master, is this really the vixen from before?"
Tieshan said nervously: "Last time, the little one broke its legs. She won't come to seek revenge on the little one."
"Retaliation? How to take revenge? Will I swallow you whole alive? This fox has six hundred years of Taoism. What he wants is to become an immortal and become a Taoist. He can no longer eat people. Moreover, this green fox has never eaten people before. She
There is no malice, don’t worry." Li Xiuyuan said.
As long as the spirits and monsters have practiced the Tao for six hundred years and have survived the three tribulations of heaven, earth and man, they can continue to cultivate and wait for becoming immortals.
But the real calamity of spirits and monsters does not lie in the three calamities of heaven, earth and man, but in cause and effect.
For thousands of years, the great demon lost his immortal foundation because of the word cause and effect, fell back into the mortal world, and became a demon.
Li Xiuyuan rode up to Qing Hu: "Have you survived the catastrophe?"
When the other guards saw that the eldest young master was actually talking to a fox, they all found it incredible and opened their eyes wide.
Qinghu nodded, his eyes lingering on Li Xiuyuan's body, dodging slightly from time to time, as if he was a bit shy.
"Since you have survived the catastrophe, why don't you practice in the deep mountains and forests? What are you doing here?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Squeak, squeak," said the green fox.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Speak humanly."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak." Qinghu pointed behind him and then said again.
Li Xiuyuan twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "Come here."
The green fox's ears twitched slightly, and it immediately ran towards Li Xiuyuan quickly, then jumped up and stood nearly ten feet high, as if flying into the air and landed on the head of the jade lion's horse, and then looked at him happily with its tail wagging.
.
"You've become a spirit, why are you pretending to be a fox? You speak human language. I'm not proficient in animal language." Li Xiuyuan said.
Qinghu looked at the guards behind Li Xiuyuan and hesitated.
Apparently she didn't want to reveal her identity because of the crowd.
"Don't worry, they won't make a fuss. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't block my way. I have helped you. Is this how you repay our Li family?" Li Xiuyuan said.
At this time, Qinghu began to speak human words, and his voice was clear and sweet, which was particularly pleasant to the ear: "I have seen the young master, Qing'e, my humble concubine."
After saying that, she raised her paw and gave a salute.
"What a vixen, it, it can speak human language." The guard behind him said in shock.
One of the guards was so frightened that he fell off his horse.
These guards followed Li Xiuyuan and saw too many monsters and ghosts, and they met another one on the way.
"It's true, it's that vixen, and she's pestering my son again." Li Dafu also gritted his teeth and said: "My son should not have let this fox go with a kind heart, he should have beaten this vixen to death. Now
This vixen is definitely here to take revenge after recovering from his injuries. It is said that foxes hold grudges the most."
As far as ordinary people are concerned, they are still very resistant to things like spirits.
Li Dafu is the one, and he is even better than ordinary people. He has not forgotten the words of the Taoist priest. His son was born with a delicate heart with seven orifices, and he is afraid of having his heart poached by demons and monsters. He is especially resistant to vixens.
"Father, don't be angry. This fox has no harmful intentions and will be fine." Li Xiuyuan turned around and said.
Even if something happens, a fox will not threaten him, and he can kill a tiger.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Qing'e and said, "Why are you blocking our way here? You didn't tell me that you happened to be passing by here."
"I didn't just happen to be passing by, but I'm here specifically to wait for the young master to come back," Qing'e said.
"Wait for me? Why." Li Xiuyuan said.
Qing'e said: "Last time, the young master helped my humble concubine survive the disaster. I felt very grateful for the young master's great kindness, but now I can't bear to see the young master in danger on the road."
Li Xiuyuan frowned and said, "You said there will be danger ahead?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the official road ahead.
"Yes, Young Master, if you walk three miles ahead, you will encounter danger. Please change the route, otherwise I won't be able to help you," Qing'e said.
Li Xiuyuan raised his eyes and looked: "This official road is smooth all the way. It neither crosses rivers nor crosses mountains. What dangers are there?"
Qing'e said, "Young Master, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but Young Master has been targeted by Montenegro. There is an old forest three miles away in front of you. Tigers and hungry wolves are dormant in the forest. Just waiting for Young Master and others to pass by, the tigers and wolves will be there."
Under the control of Lord Montenegro, they rushed out and murdered all the young master, master and others."
"Black Mountain Lord? What is Black Mountain Lord? Young master, are you also a monster?" Tieshan stood next to Li Xiuyuan, and when he heard the word "Black Mountain Lord", he couldn't help but ask.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Tiger means tiger, and Black Tiger is a black tiger, but this black tiger can drive tigers and wolves to kill passers-by. This is no longer an ordinary tiger, it is a demon, and... Qing'e, you
I have been afraid of the Black Tiger King for six hundred years. It seems that the Black Tiger King is a great demon whose moral skills surpass yours. That’s why you blocked the road three miles away. You don’t even have the courage to approach the Black Tiger King within three miles?"
Qing'e said with some shame: "This concubine's moral conduct is indeed not as good as that of the Black Tiger King. Its moral conduct has lasted for more than a thousand years. It is a great demon comparable to an immortal god. Even the righteous God in the sky cannot accept it. Moreover, it belongs to the Tiger King."
"Sure, I'm afraid of a green fox by nature."
"Why did it block the road and send tigers and wolves to deal with me? I don't have any grudges with this Black Mountain Lord." Li Xiuyuan asked.
"It's because of Grandma Wang," Qing'e said.
Goddess Wang?
Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed: "Wang Shenpo is dead, what does this have to do with it?"
"Wang Shenpo seems to have an intersection with Black Mountain Lord." Qing'e said.
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiuyuan understood.
Goddess Wang was probably a subordinate of the Black Mountain Lord, or a chess piece placed in the human world. Now that she was killed by herself, the debt must be settled on her head.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but look at the tiger skin blanket on the saddle of Qianliju where he sat.
On the way to Xiahe Village, I encountered a tiger attacking me. The tiger's eyes were black.
"It seems that I have been targeted by this Black Tiger King for a long time. He may have discovered that he is unusual, so he set up a plan to intercept and kill me on the road." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, he felt that this Black Tiger King was probably
I have already guessed that I have an exquisite heart with seven orifices, and if I eat it, I can become an immortal.
Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but freeze.
It's not a good feeling to be targeted by a thousand-year-old monster.
Moreover, this great demon is not just a demon, a monster, but a tiger, the most ferocious.
Because even though his Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart is not afraid of the tiger demon's magic power and Taoist skills, it is still extremely terrifying when the real body comes to kill him.
