Chapter 92
Essence of the Sun and Moon, Emperor's Liquid, they sound very powerful.
Many viewers memorized these two terms and tried them when they were ready for the end of the TV series.
…
Because he was so shocked by this scene that his mind was swaying, Li Ming revealed his own aura.
The nine-tailed fox, which was kneeling to the moon, turned its head instantly, and its dark beast pupils turned into scarlet: "Who!"
Li Ming stood stiffly on the spot. It had been twenty-nine years since the nine-tailed fox left when he was twelve years old.
Twenty-nine years, for monsters, is just a blink of an eye, but for humans, it is half of a life. It has been so long that Li Ming has forgotten the appearance of the nine-tailed fox, and only the beast eyes he hated when he left turned into nightmares that haunt his heart every day.
The nine-tailed fox spit out a ball of fox fire and attacked Li Ming in the corner with great force. The blue flame has no temperature, but its lethality cannot be underestimated. When passing by flowers and plants, the green instantly turned into fly ash.
Li Ming dodged awkwardly: "Wait, I don't mean any harm."
The Taoist robe made all the foxes frightened and uneasy, and they quickly ran behind the nine-tailed fox.
"It's a Taoist priest."
"They know how to catch monsters. Look at that sword. It has an amazing blood-sucking aura."
"kill him!"
"Intruder!"
Li Ming ignored the unkind looks of many foxes and stared blankly at the nine-tailed fox, his tongue seemed to be knotted, and he spoke incoherently: "I heard that there is an emperor's fluid on July 15th, and many strange beasts and monsters want it. Qingqiu prohibits outsiders from entering, and I’m worried that they will be detrimental to Qingqiu.”
……elder sister.
The nine-tailed fox stared at him coldly, as if judging the truth or falsehood of his words. The atmosphere of the sacred Qingqiu tribe slowly solidified, and a faint murderous aura wandered around.
For a time, even the sound of the wind disappeared.
boom--
A ray of fire exploded in the Qingqiu barrier. The transparent barrier flickered on and off uncertainly, flickering twice like a candle in the wind, and finally fell silent.
A two-headed bird flew in, and its arrogant laughter echoed over Qingqiu.
"Emperor's liquid! Emperor's liquid!" The harsh voice made Li Ming frown subconsciously.
Behind the two-headed bird, there are countless strange beasts and monsters watching eagerly.
The nine-tailed fox looks up to the sky and roars, its nine big snow-white tails shaking the world. Each attack can harvest countless lives. The loud voice resounds through the sky, warning all enemies: "Anyone who offends our Qingqiu will be killed without mercy!"
Greedy monsters, bloodthirsty and ferocious beasts, and the nine-tailed fox who vows to defend the clan's land to the death.
It constitutes a scene of world-destroying struggle.
This is a unique fantasy from ancient times and is also the crystallization of Chinese civilization.
The audience looked at the scene in front of them and did not dare to breathe. Their minds were anxious and sawing with the scale of war.
Li Ming naturally would not sit idly by and ignore it.
He is not like other Taoist priests who believe that humans and monsters are incompatible and will kill monsters on sight. If the monster has not harmed people, he will not harm them at all.
The Taoist priest who has practiced for many years has a good ability in drawing talismans. There were too many invading alien beasts and monsters. Qingqiu couldn't take care of the little foxes in the clan, so Li Ming took the invisibility talisman on them and kicked them into the corner one by one.
【Oh oh oh! I learned it again, the invisibility charm! I also want the guide in front! 】
[I’m sorry, I’m leaning downstairs. Last time I learned how to draw talisman from Li Ming, he got beaten up. He said that what I wrote was even more sloppy than a doctor’s handwriting. Do they have to be like this when drawing talisman? 】
[The problem is that there is not much time for you to write neatly. If you really do it like writing, it will be cold long ago. 】
【ah! These strange beasts and monsters are very ferocious, and some of them have appeared in previous episodes. Damn it, even if there is a nine-tailed fox, there is also a hydra! 】
[Mom, watching a mythological movie is more stressful than a war movie, it makes me breathless. 】
Dazzling spells and shocking physical power. For resources, power, and ambition, they fight fiercely. There is no moral concept here, only the strong is king.
The blood rain in the sky dyed the Qingqiu Holy Land red, and even the billowing white mist had a hint of scarlet, impacting the audience's vision.
This is a world of supernatural beings.
The audience clearly understands.
The moonlight disappeared behind the clouds, the sun set into the Qingqiu, and the sound of fighting gradually stopped.
Li Ming stood there tiredly, surrounded by broken limbs and corpses.
"Chief, what should I do with this Taoist priest?" A six-tailed fox asked hoarsely.
The nine-tailed fox's snow-white fur was stained with blood, and a wound extended from its abdomen to its tail. It stared at Li Ming gloomily, the light in its eyes flickering on and off.
"Clan leader, please listen to me." Qingluo stumbled over and said, "During the fight just now, thanks to him protecting the clan's cubs, Qingqiu will not let the offender go, but he cannot retaliate by killing his benefactor."
The six-tailed fox once suffered a loss at the hands of a Taoist priest and was almost killed by a sword. He hated all the Taoist priests in the world and sneered at Qingluo's words: "Qingluo, how do you know this is not a trick to kill people? Those strange beasts and monsters are all He brought it here!"
Li Ming ignored their malicious speculations and just looked up at the hilly nine-tailed fox.
He hesitated and shouted: "Sister?"
The noisy Qingqiu suddenly fell silent, and many foxes lost their fur.
"You are such a shameless old man, who do you call sister?"
"Wow, you have a big beard, how can you shout?"
"I'll kill you for having an indiscriminate relationship!"
The nine-tailed fox gave him a cold look. She wanted to drive him out, but her eyes fell on Li Ming's abdomen.
There, a blood hole as big as a bowl was opened because she blocked the attacker. Blood rushed out of it, and the broken internal organs could be vaguely seen inside.
If not treated, you will die.
"Mortals are trouble. Because you have saved the younger members of the clan, I allow you to stay here and bathe in the Emperor's fluid until the fifteenth day of the seventh month is over. Then get out immediately." In a flash of white light, the big fox disappeared, leaving only A beautiful woman.
Li Ming nodded quickly, following the nine-tailed fox with uncertain eyes. The Qingqiu foxes are related to each other, and their looks and smells are mostly similar, but he can't distinguish smells like monsters. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the nine-tailed fox was the sister who had protected him.
It took the foxes in Qingqiu two days to clean up the blood and dirt, and it was also July 15th.
The sky was pitch black, and even the stars were missing. There was only a bright silver moon hanging in the east, occupying the entire field of vision at a very close distance.
Thousands of feet of silver light poured down, and the entire Qingqiu was as bright as day.
There is a gleaming light overflowing from the silver moon, like pearls, thousands of gold threads falling in series on the ground, blending into the plants, and being swallowed by the foxes.
【Oh oh oh! This is Emperor Flow! It is indeed sacred, no wonder everyone is grabbing it! 】
[Holy shit, is this a sacred question? Look at the plum tree in the corner, it has transformed! 】
[Plants and trees can turn into monsters by receiving their essence... Mom, if you take one bite, you can transform into a demon. If it were me, I would grab it. This would be equivalent to taking hundreds of years less detours than others. 】
[My mouth is watering. I really want it. My ancestor is really good at whetting your appetite. 】
Li Ming's wound was bathed in the emperor's fluid, and the blood hole closed instantly, and within a moment, the wound on his abdomen was restored to its original state.
Logically speaking, he should leave, but before he could figure out whether the nine-tailed fox was his sister, Li Ming hesitated and refused to leave.
"This... patriarch, have you ever gone down the mountain?"
The nine-tailed fox lay lazily in the mountains, flicking its tail to force Li Ming back: "No, there is a rule in the clan that you cannot enter the mortal world without permission."
Li Ming gritted his teeth and recounted the past: "Can I use the tortoise shell to guide me and find my sister? I want to apologize to her in person."
The big fox's dark eyes stared at him, and an unknown emotion flashed through her. She snorted coldly and said irritably: "Whatever you want."
Li Ming quickly thanked her and took out the carefully preserved tortoise shell from his arms. This tortoise shell was stained with his sister's breath. He was in Qingqiu, so he would definitely be able to find clues.
Essence and blood were smeared on the carapace, and the palm-sized tortoise shell lit up with a glowing red light. A silk thread stretched into the distance, and Li Ming hurriedly chased after it.
【? ? ? I thought the nine-tailed fox was Qingli, but it wasn’t? 】
[Just...foxes are pretty much the same. I identify foxes by their tails. 】
[Ah ah ah, Li Ming is finally going to find Qingli. After he does, remember to apologize and explain the misunderstanding clearly. 】
[Nima, whenever I think about Li Ming and Qing Li missing half their lives because of the Gu Diao, I have the urge to skin and pluck the Gu Diao. 】
"Clan leader..." Qingluo walked over nervously.
"It's okay, don't worry." The nine-tailed fox stood up slowly.
Li Ming's pupils shrank to the size of needle tips, and his hand hanging by his side shook violently. He followed the red light to the cave, and found a fist-sized fox bead behind a rank.
Fox beads are the source of the fox demon's power and cannot be separated from the body easily.
Once out of the body, there is only one possibility - death.
Thinking of this, Li Ming's hands and feet felt cold and his mind went blank.
"So you were looking for Qingli. Twenty-nine years ago, she returned home with a serious injury. She survived for two days and finally died. The wound on her abdomen was filled with black gas when she died, and it never healed."
The voice of the nine-tailed fox sounded faintly behind him. Li Ming staggered around and stared at the nine-tailed fox with his pinpoint eyes, as if in disbelief, but also as if he was seeking confirmation: "Dead?"
The woman didn't speak. Her beautiful face looked no more than 28 years old, but Li Ming opposite her had fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and her figure was even slightly rickety due to the heavy blow.
Li Ming tremblingly took out two books and placed them gently in front of the memorial tablet. His voice was hoarse: "In the past, you said that when I grew up, you would take me to see the mountains and seas. I kept looking and looking. The mountains and seas have been found, but where are you?"
He staggered out of the cave and walked towards the entrance of the barrier. The nine-tailed fox behind him dug his nails into his palms and closed his eyes hard.
"Clan leader, he has left." Qingluo hurriedly took off the fox bead, and before he could put it into his mouth, the nine-tailed fox spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned gray.
Qingluo wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and sighed: "Why are you doing this?"
Taking down the two books and opening them carefully, the nine-tailed fox carefully read them page by page. After a long while, he softly said: "Human lifespan is not more than a hundred years. Why does he bother to spend half his life just for a promise? He has learned how to behead." After slaying demons and learning about justice in the world, why didn’t you learn the principle that humans and monsters have different paths?”
Qingluo didn't answer, and there was only a sigh in the cave.
Li Ming left Qingqiu and stared blankly at the mountains where the nine-tailed fox often entrenched himself. He didn't leave for a long time.
As the sun rose and set, dew wetted his clothes. He looked down at the sagging skin and finally turned around stiffly.
It's time to end.
As spring goes and autumn comes, it is another cycle of four seasons. The nine-tailed fox always guards Qingqiu, hiding the two books in its arms.
"Qingluo, what time is it?"
