Later, the little fox told me that the reason why he sat in a daze at the entrance of the cave that day was because of the densely growing peach tree by the forest stream. The peach blossoms fell one by one, but it had nothing to do with romance. It was just a small bridge that conformed to the laws of nature. But
The overly plump and dazzling pink petals are like a silent protest against this natural law.
When I later experienced countless life and death situations, I could always think of that peach tree that existed under the heavy yin energy but was still growing enthusiastically. It was like a lighthouse, dazzlingly telling me never to give up on living.
hope.
The man in the white robe still didn't relax his grip on my neck, but he didn't tighten his grip either. I was stuck in the air by him, struggling to breathe air.
"Yo? Fox, we haven't seen each other for a hundred years, and even his gender has changed?"
The little fox's indifferent tone sounded again, and he said: "He is dying, let him go."
The man in white robe looked at the little fox with a sneer and said, "Stop pretending. The Rock Void Beast is dead, how dare you appear in front of me? How dare you...order me?" The man in white robe said, deliberately pinching me tightly.
neck.
The little fox roared: "Do you really want to be trapped here forever? To tell you the truth, this kid is the reincarnation of Taoist Bailuo, and he is the only hope to escape from this endless purgatory!"
I don’t know what the little fox said that caused the man in white robe to become scared. His hand holding my neck was shaking slightly. This gave me the right to breathe.
The little fox exuded a certain powerful aura, fixed his fierce eyes on the man in white robes, and whispered: "If you kill him, I will use all my strength to find ways and means in the long days to come in this endless purgatory.
Yes, torture you!"
As far as I know, this ghoul completely inherited the character of the poor scholar during his lifetime. He was conceited and jealous. His heart was actually very fragile, but he was faced with being hit everywhere. This character started after he gained the powerful strength of the ghoul.
In disguise, he becomes more self-centered, wants everything to go with him, and cannot stand any disobedience.
I originally thought that the man in white robe would directly respond to the little fox's threat by crushing my neck. But he didn't.
The man in the white robe said "Huh!" and threw me out like a chicken. I felt like I was flying in the air for a long time, and was finally caught by Li Menglan. Large swaths of air ran into my mouth again,
For the first time, I felt: It’s good to be alive.
"I'm not afraid of your revenge." The man in white robe looked at the little fox and said, "I just don't want to be trapped here."
The little fox sneered and said nothing.
The man in the white robe was a little anxious, and he shouted: "Anyway, the Yanxu Beast is dead! The entire Wuling Mountain is my territory, including you vixen! Who lives and who dies! I have the final say!"
The little fox still sneered, but the house behind him collapsed from the roof. Amidst the rumbling and rumbling, dust was swirling. I opened my Yin and Yang eyes and saw a five-meter-tall monster in the dust.
The entity is unclear, only a rough transparent outline. But a pair of narrow, blood-red eyes as long as chopsticks are particularly clear.
With a "bang" sound, the door was kicked by the monster towards the man in white robe. It was considered as a greeting from the monster to the corpse.
The man in white robe blasted out his right fist and shattered the door. His eyes were fierce, his face was trembling slightly, and he squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Rock, void, beast!"
The man in white robe asked me if I had seen the Rock Void Beast. I told him honestly that the Rock Void Beast was dead. These were the little fox’s exact words, but I didn’t say the second half. What we have been looking for,
Originally it was not the living Rock Void Beast, but the soul of the Rock Void Beast.
I saw the transparent rock void beast, with the little fox’s nod, running toward the man in white robe angrily with its narrow, blood-red eyes. Every step it took caused the ground to shake. On the bluestone road
The deep footprints left behind were as big as half my body.
The little fox walked up to me with a smile, and turned into his innocent and ignorant look again.
He pretended to have a puzzled expression, stared at the footprints left by the Rock Void Beast seriously and said, "Hey, Zhang Tianju, look quickly, there are actually footprints growing on the ground."
Everything felt like it was back to the beginning. The three of us looked at him with indifferent faces, and we really couldn't answer anything.
The Rock Void Beast raised its arm like a big tree and blasted towards the man in white robe. The man in white robe didn't even hide. He held the Shura Sword tightly with his seemingly weak arm and stabbed towards the transparent front. The body of the Shura Sword seemed to be
Feeling the danger of being destroyed, it started shaking so violently that even the man in white robe could not completely control it. I saw the man in white robe angrily throw away the Shura sword at the critical moment, and face the transparent rock void beast alone with his fist.
momentum.
Two fists with a huge difference in size collided, and there was a violent muffled sound of steel plates around them. The man in white robe was knocked away and crashed straight through the wall of his own house. The Rock Void Beast refused to let go and chased after him suddenly,
Two huge hands grabbed the roof of the ghoul's house and tore it apart on both sides. The seemingly solid mud roof was torn off like a house made of straw in the hands of the rock void beast. Two huge pieces
The soil was thrown far away, and the man in white robe fell in his roofless house, looking at the blood-red eyes high in the sky in horror.
Then, violent bombardments continued from the air towards the man in white robe. Like a kitchen knife, mercilessly chopping the fish on the chopping board.
I sat aside and watched the Rock Void Beast blast the ghoul's house into ruins. I couldn't help but sigh with emotion at this power.
I looked at the little fox and said, "Tell me honestly, has the Rock Void Beast been following you all this time?"
The little fox said: "That's not entirely true. It has always followed me when it was alive. It's just that after it dies and becomes a soul, it can no longer follow me. Although I am only a small demigod, no matter how powerful the ghost is, it can't follow me anymore."
If you stay around me for a long time, its Yin energy will be greatly weakened because of the fairy energy in me. Even in the end, its soul will fly away. This is why I can threaten the ghoul to a certain extent. As long as he can't be killed.
Me, I keep pestering him like a ghost, and he will always be in bad luck."
When the little fox said this, there was a look of loneliness in his eyes.
I can imagine the pain of the little fox living alone in Wuling Mountain since the death of Yanxu Beast. He was already living in an endless hell and had to endure the loneliness and desolation. I began to feel some sympathy for the little fox.
There is another question. I looked at the little fox’s downcast eyes and asked: “Are you a boy or a girl?”
Li Menglan and Liu Qizhen were treating their wounds silently. When they heard me raising this question, they stopped for a moment, but they pretended not to hear and began to treat their injuries silently.
I always feel that the little fox who always appears as a boy is too well-behaved. And I have not forgotten the first question the ghoul asked when he saw the little fox.
I saw the little fox's eyebrows spread out, and he said with a pretentious smile: "I won't tell you."
Anyone can really feel that the little fox is very happy.
The little fox bent down, looked at me with a pair of smart eyes, and said, "Zhang Tianju, can you leave?"
I said: "Of course."
"Then it's enough to leave this place to the Yanxu Beast. Let's go."
I asked: "Where to go?"
"You promised me? You would help me open the seal of Wuling Mountain and give me my freedom." The little fox looked at me, his eyes full of expectation.
We really need to get out of here as soon as possible. The three of us were all very seriously injured. Liu Qizhen and I are better off. Most of them are just flesh wounds after all, not fatal. But the deep sword marks on Li Menglan's body, no matter how much cloth is used,
I can't even stop the bleeding, and I suspect that the moment she was hit by the ghoul against the wall, her internal organs may be injured. No matter how powerful the 'Blood Princess' is, she needs to get professional help as soon as possible.
treat.
I stood up, looked at Liu Qizhen and Li Menglan, and said, "Let's leave quickly."
The two of them nodded and supported each other as they walked.
"Wait a minute." The little fox suddenly said.
We all looked at him with doubtful eyes. He smiled mysteriously at me, then ran briskly to the Rock Void Beast and picked up my Shura Sword from the ground.
He ran to me with the sword and said: "Don't lose it again. It is also a lonely soul. If you don't want it, it will be sad."
I took the sword and nodded silently. I took one last look at the scene where the Rock Void Beast bombarded the man in white robe. The man in white robe had escaped from the house. The left side of his face was smashed by the Rock Void Beast, and the terrifying left eyeball was only
The remaining tendon was connected to his nose and was dangling. As the man in white robe fled in a hurry, I happened to look into his right eye, and I saw the endless hatred for me in that look.
meaning.
It was also because of that glance that I suddenly felt a certain uneasiness in my heart. The little fox patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, in fact, after the Rock Void Beast turns into a soul, it can strengthen its Yin Qi more freely than a living one."
It was even more powerful at that time. I'm afraid that kid didn't expect that the rock void beast that turned into a soul would be so powerful. But in the end, all this was his own fault."
I nodded slightly and said, "Let's go."
We walked out of Wuling Village smoothly, and no evil ghost dared to come out to block the way. But I could still see countless evil ghosts hiding in the dark and watching us secretly along the way.
In general, our purpose of entering the village this time can be considered to be achieved. We finally encountered the Rock Void Beast. We also casually eliminated a peerless corpse. In terms of the nature of the work, this is considered to have completed additional workload.
, I have to talk to Mr. Gu about a salary increase later.
The little fox kept jumping ahead of us, leading the way haphazardly. She said that she hadn’t been to the sealed place for too long and couldn’t find the way. The three of us were speechless, but we all felt that the fox behaved like this.
It's normal, even taken for granted.
Over and over again, we returned to the cave where we slept last night.
There is a crystal clear stream flowing more than ten meters outside the cave. In fact, I have seen this stream in many places in Wuling Mountain. It is like an extremely long and thin snake, winding around the entire mountain.
On Wuling Mountain, I vaguely remember their locations. When connected, they really look like the layout of a Taoist array.
I couldn't see the entire formation clearly, but a pattern similar to the Bagua Tiangang Formation naturally appeared in my mind. I felt an inexplicable familiarity with this place. I knew exactly where we were going now.
The center of this formation is the zombie underground.
The little fox stood under a peach tree not far from the stream and suddenly shouted to me: "Hey, Zhang Tianju, give me a human name."
Without thinking, I blurted out: "Tao Yaoyao."
The little fox chuckled: "Is it because I 'run away' every time?"
Liu Qizhen looked at me with admiration and said: "This is a good name."
The little fox said: "But this name looks like a girl's name."
Li Menglan came over: "If he really gives you a man's name, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."
The little fox didn't dare to object, his eyes bulged and his face turned red.
