While Xue Tianqing was listening with great interest, Qingyue lost her voice.
"Why don't you continue?"
"No, what else can I say?"
Xue Tianqing said in surprise: "What do you mean gone?"
Qingyue nodded: "It's just gone. Isn't that what it is now? The ultimate goal of cultivation is to walk on the road to heaven, climb to the Immortal Platform, and hope for eternal life. By the way, why do you think of asking this?"
Xue Tianqing pondered for a moment and said: "I met an old friend. Although he mentioned this incident accidentally, the meaning seemed to be that he was telling me the past of the Three Realms on purpose."
"What kind of old friend?"
Xue Tianqing didn't seem to hear Qingyue's question, but said to herself: "Are those innate saints just turning a blind eye to this?"
It wasn't until Qingyue grabbed her ear again that Xue Tianqing came back to her senses: "Are what you said true or false?"
Qingyue shrugged: "How do I know? Anyway, this is the legend, and this is also recorded in the classics. As for whether it is true or false, I guess no one can tell clearly."
Xue Tianqing murmured: "I never expected that the so-called myths and legends of my hometown actually originated from here."
Qingyue didn't hear clearly what Xue Tianqing muttered: "What did you say?"
"Nothing. By the way, you just said you felt a trace of evil spirit?"
Seeing Qingyue nodding, Xue Tianqing frowned and said, "Do you think the monster that just developed intelligence will have evil aura?"
"Of course, demons that have just transformed into human form don't know how to hide, and that's when the demonic aura is at its strongest. And unlike us, some demons that have just transformed into humans are almost the same as ordinary people."
Xue Tianqing pondered for a moment and said, "Are there any special circumstances?"
Qingyue shook her head: "No, unless they have a very good cover-up, but this kind of cover-up cannot be done by those monsters who have just transformed into human form. After all, they are not good enough."
"You mean that if they want to hide it, they have to use another monster, a monster with deep spiritual knowledge?"
"This has nothing to do with Taoism. Monsters are just monsters, unless they are talented in this area."
Xue Tianqing said in surprise: "Does this one have talent?"
Qingyue nodded: "Of course, it is said that the Nine-tailed Sky Fox has the most powerful hidden illusions in the world, and even Daluo Jinxian cannot see through its methods. However, the cultivation level of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox will not be too deep, because no one is perfect, and monsters The same is true, if it is really flawless, even God will not be able to stand it."
Xue Tianqing smiled: "There are still shortcomings in heaven and earth, let alone the creatures in heaven and earth."
Having said this, Xue Tianqing glanced towards the backyard: "Who are you?"
Qingyue frowned and said, "You said that's not Meng Ji?"
Xue Tianqing nodded: "No matter what it is, it is definitely not Meng Ji. I don't believe that the ancient beast can survive until now."
"Then what do you say it is?"
"I don't know. This demon has done many evil things. Now that we have encountered it, we can't ignore it. However, Heaven has been causing trouble for us recently. You and I should take shelter here first and settle the accounts with it when we leave."
Seeing Qingyue's eyebrows raised, Xue Tianqing smiled and said, "With us here, how can we make it do evil again? With the Demon Locking Formation here, it can't run away."
While the two were talking, Xu Chuan had already opened the secret door of the house in the backyard and walked down the stairs.
Just as he was about to step onto the last step, a sudden shout came from behind the door: "Stop!"
Xu Chuan stopped and said, "Ancestor, I just came to see you."
"Are you here to see me, or something happened."
"I'm mainly here to see you. There's something else I want to report to you. Can I come in?"
"No, someone has cast a demon locking formation here. Once you open the door, the person who cast the spell will know it immediately."
Xu Chuan was stunned: "Who is so bold?"
"You don't have to worry about who it is. Are you here just for the man and woman from yesterday?"
Xu Chuan nodded: "Ancestor Mingjian, it is these two people who travel all over the world. Xiao Lizi accidentally fell into their hands yesterday. Not only did he lose his life, but he also implicated two descendants."
The voice inside the door said angrily: "What kind of charlatan? You are really blind! Those are two cultivators. If I hadn't been careful, even my own identity would have been discovered! Okay, let's take a closer look at the matter. Tell me in detail!"
After listening to Xu Chuan's account of what happened, there was silence at the door for a while, and then he said: "You have been so kind to them during the days they have been staying in the village. Don't act recklessly anymore. Go back."
As the footsteps gradually faded away, a sigh came from inside the door: "Since you have discovered the secret here, why don't you take action?"
After nightfall, there was a dead silence in the manor courtyard, and there was no sound.
In the guest room, Qingyue was still snoozing. According to her, she must have been eroded by the aura of the mortal world.
Xue Tianqing did not meditate and adjust her breathing, but sat motionless on the chair, letting the candles burn out and the living room fall into darkness.
Just after midnight, footsteps sounded outside the door, and then a sweet voice came: "Can I come in?"
"Please." Xue Tianqing's voice was calm.
As the door was pushed open, a fragrant aroma instantly penetrated Xue Tianqing's nose.
The visitor was a woman. As soon as she entered the door, she smiled and said, "I'm here late at night. I'm not disturbing the young master's business, are you?"
"Sit down." Xue Tianqing's voice was still calm.
The woman smiled again: "Since you know that I am coming, why don't you light the lamp? Are you afraid that you will not be able to control yourself when you see me behind you?"
While speaking, the woman had already sat down on the chair on the other side: "I don't know that my wife has already rested, so I took the liberty of visiting you. I hope you will pay attention to your work."
Xue Tianqing took a deep breath: "Although the nine-tailed fox is a wild cultivator, it is not easy to reach the realm of immortals."
The woman smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment. I am very grateful. It's just that the Sky Fox clan is different from other creatures. A little high moral conduct will not be tolerated by the world and lead to disaster. Therefore, I can only live here and live quietly. I hope that the master can show his noble hand. Let me live."
Xue Tianqing looked at the nine-tailed sky fox in the darkness and said: "You are close to the golden immortal, which is rare in ancient times. With your current cultivation level, how far can you hide the art of transformation?"
The woman said softly: "I don't tell lies in front of the real person. Even if the Jade Emperor comes in person, he won't be able to discover my whereabouts if he doesn't set foot within a mile of this place."
Xue Tianqing nodded: "No wonder the world cannot tolerate it. If you become a Daluo Golden Immortal, I'm afraid the three realms will change hands."
The woman smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master is joking, I can't leave this place, otherwise I will be punished by God. Besides, there will always be accidents in this world, for example, Young Master can defeat my illusion at a distance of a hundred feet."
Seeing that the snow was clear and silent, the woman stood up and lit the candle: "I am in a hurry today, please forgive me, sir. Please sit down for a while, and I will prepare tea."
After the woman left, Qingyue poked her head out of the bedroom: "What is she doing here?"
"Negotiate terms, terms acceptable to both parties."
Qingyue came to Xue Tianqing in a flash and shouted in his ear: "No! How can a human monster be so collusive!"
Xue Tianqing pushed Qingyue away, then took out her ears that were about to be deafened: "You go back first, I have a sense of propriety."
Seeing Qingyue return to the dormitory angrily, Xue Tianqing sighed softly, and then sat there motionless like a wood carving and clay sculpture.
After a while, the woman brought tea and poured it for Xue Tianqing with her own hands: "Master, please."
Xue Tianqing took the tea and looked up at the woman: "They all say that beautiful women are vixens. Only when I met Madam today did I know that this is not wrong at all."
The woman pretended to be angry: "I am still a girl, how can I become a madam? Besides, even if I am really a madam, you should call me girl."
Xue Tianqing smiled: "Some people already call you ancestor. I thought it would be more appropriate to call you madam."
The woman smiled like a silver bell: "I didn't expect that the young master actually likes to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. If I had known this, I would have said more."
Xue Tianqing smiled back: "To each other, if you don't want to know what I said to Hei Wuchang, you probably won't show that evil spirit. Finally, Qingyue noticed it and let me guess your identity."
The woman clapped her hands and said: "Okay, we are even! Next, sir, can you talk to me about your conditions?"
Xue Tianqing nodded: "How to talk?"
"When negotiating terms, of course we have to be honest with each other. As for how to be honest, it depends on the master's intention. Being naked is also a kind of honesty."
Xue Tianqing smiled: "I have long heard that vixens are good at charming minds, and the nine-tailed sky fox is the highest existence here. Originally, I thought it was through illusion and beauty, but now I know how to use the skills of the mouth."
The woman covered her mouth and smiled after hearing this: "I also want to seduce the young master with my beauty and magic, but the young master is not only able to withstand illusions, but also is unmoved in front of women. In desperation, I can only try to satisfy myself for a while. .”
Xue Tianqing flicked the tabletop with her hand: "My name is Sun Wukong. I was taken in by my master when I was in trouble when I was young, and later I was expelled from my master for making mistakes. As for now, it's even simpler. I have offended heaven and have nowhere to go, so I am here This shelter.”
The woman nodded: "Young Master is indeed honest, but aren't you afraid that I will hand you over to heaven in exchange for benefits?"
Xue Tianqing shook his head: "You don't know how. Although you are a monster, you also know how to be benevolent, righteous, filial, and loving."
After hearing the words, the woman lowered her head in silence, and then raised her head again after a while: "Young Master is so generous, which makes me ashamed. I deceived you yesterday, and now I apologize to you. My real name is Bai Huling, and I originally lived in Nanfanbu. On the Tianhu Peak in the continent."
After the white fox spirit finished speaking, he drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, and then slowly told his story.
Bai Huling, also known as the White Fox Princess, is the only remaining nine-tailed sky fox in the world.
In ancient times, the Nine-tailed Sky Fox was also a famous group among the demon clan.
In the battle between the lich and the lich, both sides were seriously injured, and the nine-tailed fox, who was a demon clan, was no exception.
After the rise of the human race, in order to prevent the other two races from coming back, they were strangled in a bloodbath, making the witch race almost extinct, and the demon race also lingering in the mountains.
Although the Nine-tailed Sky Fox is good at transforming and hiding, its own moral character is low, and it is almost unable to fight back during the human race's suppression, and is eventually forced to retreat to the Sky Fox Peak.
When the White Fox Spirit was young, although he lived with his tribe in the mountains and wilderness, he could be said to be carefree.
Who would have thought that something unexpected would happen. On this day, Bai Huling's father encountered a large human army when he went out. In the end, he was beheaded by the human king himself, and his fur was made into a cloak.
After Bai Huling's mother learned the news, she left the tribe in anger and sneaked into the human city, eventually confusing the human king and causing him to ruin his dynasty.
Although the great revenge was avenged, Bai Huling's mother was also beheaded by human masters.
