When the young woman wearing ancient costumes in front of him said her name was "Qing'e", Chen Zhi's first reaction was, "She is lying."
Ever since he was about to enter the Tomb of the God of Heavenly Fox, Chen Zhi had been mentally prepared to deal with various situations. He had thought that he might encounter various legendary gods, demons, and monsters here, anything that subverted the material worldview, and might even
He met the legendary god, but he never thought he would see the little fox fairy in front of him, Qing'e, who claimed to be the little fox fairy from the late Ming Dynasty.
Chen Zhi always thought that Qing'e was just a minor figure mentioned in the information about the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a character that was exaggerated by legends. It was even unknown whether this character really existed. But now it seems that this Qing'e is not only real.
existence, and spanned thousands of years, appeared in front of him alive, and could also communicate with him verbally.
Chen Zhi carefully looked at every detail of Qing'e at this time. This woman's body was calm and thin, and her hands and feet were a little uncoordinated. She might have been stiff because she had been in one position for a long time. But her body shape,
His voice, appearance, and appearance were that of a normal human being, no different from Qin Yueyang, except that his face was a little paler.
Chen Zhi stared at Qing'e and continued to search for loopholes. At the same time, he said in a calm tone, "You said you are the fox fairy Qing'e. Then you should be from the Yuan Dynasty. Why do you appear here alone, and why do you hide in this place?"
Crying in the closet?”.
"I, I am indeed a citizen of Dayuan, but I can't remember the other things clearly. I only remember that I seemed to be asleep. I slept for a long, long time. Then, I saw you opening the cabinet door. Please don't hurt me.
Me." The woman seemed to be really scared, trembling in the closet, but her words were very concise, and she did not speak any obscure ancient language.
Chen Zhi asked Guidao and Pang Wei to take two steps back and said, "You can come out first and then talk!"
The woman looked at Chen Zhi and others in horror. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly walked out holding the closet door. Her hands and feet were stiff and numb, and her walking posture was very strange, as if she hadn't walked for a long time. She was crooked and awkward.
He walked to the couch indoors, leaned on it, and breathed slightly.
The ghost sword has been following her, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, and vigilantly paying attention to this woman's every move.
The woman's body seemed to be very tired. She leaned on the couch and panted for a while, moved her numb limbs, and as if she had taken a breath, her face gradually became normal.
At this time, Fat Wei standing aside had lost his patience. He said with a stiff smile on his face, "Sister, let's get straight to the point! We are not in the mood to play with you here now. I advise you to tell the truth now.
, who are you, and what is your purpose in bringing us here, otherwise don’t blame me for not being considerate and sending you back to your hometown.”
After Fat Wei finished speaking, he flashed the stone-controlling sword in his hand, opened the mountain wide, and reflected the woman's face on it.
Chen Zhi clearly saw that when Qing'e saw Dakai Mountain, a trace of real fear flashed in her eyes.
"I really can't remember. Don't hurt me. Let me think about it. I can tell you everything I remember." Qing'e seemed to feel that the current situation was very dangerous. She raised her head and looked around the three people.
It seems that among the three knife-wielding people in front of me, the only one who is more friendly is Chen Zhi.
So he called Chen Zhi to sit next to him, and in a soft tone, he told her all the previous memories.
Qing'e has known that she is a fox fairy since she was a child, but she is a demigod with very ordinary cultivation and no supernatural powers. Her status in the fox clan is as low as that of a slave, and she is not even qualified to talk to the clan leader's legitimate son.
She didn't know who her parents were or what her ancestors looked like since she was a child. She only knew that she belonged to the Tianhu clan. The ancestors of the clan were one of the great gods in ancient times, including Su, who was buried here after his death.
In the divine mausoleum, these little demigods have to stay here to guard the tomb.
In her memory, she had only met Bai Qian, the head of the Sky Fox clan and his legitimate son, but that memory was very vague and she could not remember the details. She only remembered that it was during the annual Nine-tailed Sky Fox Sacrifice
During the ceremony, Bai Qian was aloof, very powerful and terrifying. After returning from the East, it was rare to see her true form. Most of them were illusory shadows. Her mood was extremely unstable, and she enjoyed killing and cannibalizing people all day long.
, and sometimes even eat demigods.
From the time Qing'e could remember, she and some of her sisters were sent to this city. There were thousands of demigods from the Sky Fox tribe living here at that time. Their abilities varied greatly, and Qing'e was among the smallest and most humble.
The rules here are very strict. The demigods can go out once a year and must come back after 7 days. Nothing can be left in the human world. In the tomb of the gods, a large-scale sacrificial ceremony is held every year. During each sacrifice,
The leader of the clan, Bai Qian, would capture one of the demigods among them, kill and bleed them, soak the land as a sacrifice to the Su family, and then throw the body into the sacred mausoleum to be buried by the nine-tailed celestial fox. Many sisters wanted to escape from the city.
, escaped from the fate of being buried, but they were all captured by Bai Qian, killed and cooked, and their bones were hung on the tower. The condition was too horrible to see.
When Qing'e went out, she met Ren Quan in Taishan Village. They fell in love with each other and they made a private decision to marry. Ren Quan was a scholar. Because his family was extremely poor, he had no money to take the exam, so he begged Qing'e to secretly bring him pearls.
, he sold the money and left this place with his family. Before leaving, he promised Qing'e that she would come back to marry Qing'e when he returned home in fine clothes. Unexpectedly, there would be no news for several years after he left.
Every time Qing'e came out to inquire about Ren Quan, she later heard that he had already been named on the gold medal list and was a third-rank official, but for some reason he never returned to his hometown, so Qing'e stayed here waiting for her husband to pick her up.
But unexpectedly, her clan members discovered that she stole the pearl and gave it to mortals. The clan leader Bai Qian was furious and ordered her to be locked in the building, and the windows were sealed with wooden boards to never let her out again.
Later, the day came when the nine-tailed sky fox was sacrificed every year and the demigods were killed and buried. The patriarch Bai Qian once again started to choose the demigods to be sacrificed, but this time she chose a very powerful demigod. This demigod was only pure of blood.
Second to the legitimate son and with a very high status in the clan, it immediately started an uprising. The demigods who had been ruled by blood for a long time could not bear it anymore. Some extremely powerful demigods united to kill Bai Qian, so the war broke out."
During that time, wars broke out in this sacred city, blood filled the sky, and lives were devastated. Qing'e couldn't remember the specific situation, but because she was too weak, no one paid attention. When the war broke out, she hid in
She went into the closet and kept crying, and then fell asleep while crying. When she woke up, she saw Chen Zhi and others standing outside the closet."
Chen Zhi and others, listening to Qing'e's narration, seemed to be listening to a fairy tale that had been going on for more than a thousand years. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
"Can you take me to find my husband?" Qing'e still asked innocently, with tears in her eyes. "My husband is a high official in the court. If you take me to him, he will definitely reward you generously."
of."
Fat Wei finally spoke after hearing this. He looked at Qing'e and sneered, and then said, "You said that you are here to keep vigil, so you should know where the tomb of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox is, right?
?”
Qing'e nodded, pointed to the east and said, "I know that ahead is the shrine of our clan leader. I remember that the tomb of our ancestors is right behind the main hall of the clan leader."
"Okay," Fat Wei grinned and laughed, "Okay, sister Qing'e, if you take us to your ancestor's tomb, after we get out, we will take you to your husband, I promise
Do you think it would be good for you to see him?"
Really, Qing'e immediately became excited. She raised her eyes with tears in her eyes and looked at Pang Wei, her eyes full of hope. "Okay, I will take you to the mausoleum of the gods now, but you must keep your word and take me."
Find my husband.
After Qing'e finished speaking, she quickly jumped down from the collapse and started walking towards the stairs.
Chen Zhi pulled his weight and said, "Why did you agree to her so casually? What age are you going to live in now? Where will you find her bastard husband?"
"What are you afraid of?" Fat Wei said with a smile, "When you see people talking about people and talking about ghosts, do you really believe the nonsense she just said? Since she is full of nonsense, what's wrong with me telling her a lie?
Okay. Besides..." After Fat Wei said this, he patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder and said with a playful smile. "If it doesn't work, just say that you are the reincarnation of her husband and just accept her!"
"Shh!" Gui Dao suddenly made a shushing gesture, shook his head gently at them, consciously not to talk nonsense, and pointed at Qing'e's body.
Chen Zhi and Pang Wei immediately looked at Qing'e's feet. They were surprised to find that there was no shadow under Qing'e's body.
