(I was talking about Qingqiu in my dreams, and Yunhu was not happy? Now that I saw Qingqiu, Yunhu didn’t come back?)
It turns out that Hu Bugui was the childhood playmate of the Mu Xiaoxiao brother and sister. The catastrophe thousands of years ago separated them.
The scar on his ear was bitten by Mu Xiaoxiao when he was playing. It would be an exaggeration to say that these two were childhood sweethearts.
It's just that Hu Bugui is a red fox, which is different from Mu Xiaoxiao's white fox.
The two met and joked about it. When Mu Xiaoxiao asked for help, Hu Bugui's expression gradually became serious.
"This matter is not trivial. You and Senior Linlang will rest at my house for now, and I will report to the elders." Hu Bugui said.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, and then she and Linlang walked into Qingqiu, where they had not returned for a thousand years.
Only then did Linlang know that the so-called Qingqiu was hidden in the endless mountains.
The hills at the heart of the mountain stretch for three hundred miles. The moon is used as day, the moon sets as night, the mushrooms are used as shelter, and the fish in the lake are used as food.
The hills are gentle, with the wisteria on the top spreading fluorescent light, and the blue grass under your feet stretching, giving people a feeling of being separated between reality and illusion.
The animals that come and go are all of the fox tribe, either white or red, in human or animal form.
There is peace and happiness here, separated from the world, not causing trouble in the world, and ignoring the disputes between gods and monsters.
Here you go, thousands of years have passed.
Many years ago, a scholar entered Qingqiu by mistake and was deceived by Hu Mei. After escaping, he left behind a hysterical poem, which said:
I once remembered that the lake was filled with white reeds, and it was difficult to cross the moon with just one reed.
When I hear the crow of foxes in the deep water, I feel like I am in the heart of thousands of mountains.
The fox acts as a beautiful goddess and eats fish bones every meal.
Once you wake up from a dream, there is no way to escape.
Hu Tu, Hu Tu, don’t live with others in the lonely wilderness.
This is the belly of the mountain, where the sky is not visible. Fluorite absorbs moonlight and divides it into day and night, which is reversed from the day and night of the outside world.
There are mushrooms about three people tall everywhere, with different shapes and gray and black colors. The fox tribe uses them as houses and calls them tree mushrooms.
There are also small fluorescent yellow mushrooms used as lamps, growing under the tree mushrooms, forming a strange dreamy scenery.
Along the way, the alien aura on Linlang's body attracted many fox tribesmen to watch. Fortunately, Mu Xiaoxiao's fox-faced mask was in front of him, which frightened the fox tribes who came and went.
Not long after, Hu Bugui stopped in front of a tree mushroom and rubbed the mushroom with his fox tail.
The tree mushroom seemed to feel something, and it opened its stem and let the three people in.
"Brother?" came a voice from the back room.
"Not happy, let's see who's here." Hu Bugui said.
Hearing the sound, a graceful figure walked out of the back room. Reflected in the dim light, half of the face was still lightly made up.
The jade face has a peach color, the water eyes are rippled, the black silk half covers the face, and the fragrant shoulder gauze is about to take off.
This is Hu Bugui's sister, Hu Buxi.
There is a saying in the Book of Human Poetry: "When I see a gentleman, I am not happy." This is where the name comes from.
When Hu Buxi saw Mu Xiaoxiao, they were stunned for a moment, and then there was a lump in their throats, and he hugged Mu Xiaoxiao and began to sob.
"Good sister, you are still alive...how come you haven't come back to see me in these thousands of years!" Hu Buxi cried.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt sad for a moment when she saw this. How could she and Mu Zhizhi not miss Qingqiu? However, at that time, the gods had spies and nets all over the place. If they rashly returned to Qingqiu, they would only expose Qingqiu's location.
Later, he followed the Green Lion King to attack Nantian and was defeated in Luzhou. Various reasons blocked his way home.
But with these thousands of words, Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know how to speak them when they came to her lips. After a long while, I could only cry and patted Hu Buxi on the head and said, "It's a long story."
Hu Bugui stepped forward and gently pulled Hu Buxi away and said, "Buxi, they just came back, let them rest first."
After Hu Buxi heard this, he shed tears and led the two of them to sit down.
At this time, there was a loud noise outside the house: "Hu Bugui! Do you dare to take in a foreigner?!"
Linlang frowned when he heard this and was about to stand up, but was pushed down by Mu Xiaoxiao.
"Sister, don't be angry, leave it to me." Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Immediately, she and Hu Bugui winked, and the two of them started talking.
He walked out the door.
On the side, Hu Buxi poured a pot of good tea and handed it to Linlang and said, "Sister Linlang, don't be surprised. It should be Tushan who knew that sister was here. ap.
The three surnames of the Fox clan are Hu, Mu and Tushan. The Hu surname handles matters, the Mu surname helps the sick and injured, and the Tushan surname keeps peace.
No foreigners have come here in thousands of years, so it made my sister laugh. "
Linlang said, it's okay. When you go to someone else's place, you should follow their rules and just sit by yourself.
The scene moved outside the house, and dozens of Qingqiu guards were seen blocking the door of Hu Bugui's house. The leader was a four-tailed fox general.
This fox general was quite big, and the armor on his body could hardly cover his muscles. He stared at Hu Bugui with a fierce look and said, "Hu Bugui, what are the consequences of harboring foreigners? I don't need to say more, right?"
Hu Bugui said with a smile: "I know who is making the noise. It turns out to be brother Tu Shanren. Why are you here seeking revenge for your brothers?"
Hu Bugui had sharp eyes and recognized several people who had been knocked down by Linlang among the group of Qingqiu guards.
Tu Shanren snorted coldly and said: "That is my own business, but if a foreigner comes here for no reason, how can I tolerate him?!"
"Unprovoked?" Mu Xiaoxiao spoke, she took out the fox face mask and said, "The fox clan's order is here. Anyone who sees the order kneels down!"
As soon as the fox-face mask appeared, everyone was in an uproar. Tu Shanren was also shocked, but with so many people here, how could he give in easily.
"Fox Mian has been lost for thousands of years, how can you tell the truth from the lie? Don't be fooled by her one-sided words!" Tu Shanren shouted.
At this time, the atmosphere was tense, Mu Xiaoxiao was getting angry, and her fox tail was exposed.
Tu Shanren sneered: "You dare to be so bold even with a fox tail, catch it for me!"
Mu Xiaoxiao originally had six tails, but after transforming into Cheng Huang, he became one tail. The fox clan uses the last number to distinguish their strength. Now that Tu Shanren sees that Mu Xiaoxiao only has one tail, he naturally doesn't take it seriously.
The group of Qingqiu guards received the order and attacked Mu Xiaoxiao one after another. Mu Xiaoxiao just raised the corner of his mouth and used Chenghuang's power to disperse the incoming guards in an instant.
Tu Shanren was shocked. He clearly saw two wooden horns growing out of the back of Mu Xiaoxiao's shoulders, and the aura emanating from her tail actually made him breathless...
"You...are you?" Tu Shanren asked in shock.
Mu Xiaoxiao said coldly: "Fox's surname is Mu, and his body is in the form of Huang. Mu Xiaoxiao..."
"Retreat!" Tu Shanren sighed, and raised his hand to call back the Qingqiu guards.
He frowned and said, "No wonder, only people with the Mu surname can transform into Chenghuang, but what about the foreigners?"
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that Tu Shanren's attitude had softened, and the Tushan clan took the safety of the Fox clan as their own responsibility, so she told him her intentions.
After hearing this, the latter frowned and said, "You have come at the wrong time. The full moon is approaching, and the elder is taking the young foxes to the Black Mushroom Forest to transform into human beings. They have been gone for three days."
Hearing this, Hu Bugui slapped his forehead and said, "That's right! It's going to be a full moon soon! What should we do!"
"I can't wait. My brother is like this. He must first find an elder to stabilize his consciousness. Fang Cunshan can only stabilize his physical body, so he can't wait!" Mu Xiaoxiao said, "I want to find an elder!"
Hu Bugui grabbed her and said, "Calm down, Xiaoxiao! You can't go to the black mushroom forest easily. When we transform into humans, we all go in blindfolded while holding a rope. If you make a wrong step inside, you will be cursed by the Soul Transformation Curse. That’s the restriction left by Kyuubi!”
Mu Xiaoxiao said: "You can't control that much! You can't fail here!"
"Let's go." Linlang walked out of the room at this time, "If you dare not face death, how can you bear the title of moving mountains? The Lion King is like this, Mo Yun is like this, you brothers and sisters should be like this."
Tu Shanren and Hu Bugui were immediately stunned. They didn't know where the so-called Huangfeng Great Sage had such arrogant capital, but now their abilities couldn't stop these two people.
Helpless, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree and take them to the direction of the black mushroom forest.
Eighty miles east of here, the underground river is gradually drying up, the blue grass is dying, and the land is barren.
There is a black mushroom forest, which is more than a hundred miles long. The mushroom stems are more than ten feet high and three feet in circumference. There are mushroom umbrellas more than two feet tall, arranged in twos and threes. The color is like ink, sticky and spotty. The purple miasma spreads from the mushrooms and can only be seen fifty meters away.
Miasma fascinates the soul, often sees nightmares, and often hears fox sorrow. The broken spirit of the nine tails passed down from ancient times is here, and it can help the fox clan to channel spirits.
Over the course of thousands of years, an elder from the Fox Clan has discovered the broken soul, and its soul cannot be taken away. Then he built a path, led the young fox with a rope to cover his eyes to avoid being bewitched by the purple miasma, and then searched for souls and built a human body by wearing human bones.
The three of them came to the dense forest of black mushrooms and looked at the vast purple miasma in the forest. Hu Bugui said, "I'll go with you."
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head, smiled and said, "Sister Linlang and I can just go in. Coming back this time is already a nuisance. Besides, the Fox Clan needs you, and I don't dare to let you make any mistakes."
Hu Bugui was stunned, and suddenly felt a little hot behind his ears. Then he smiled helplessly and said: "Forget it, Brother Tushan and I will wait here. If we encounter danger, we will light this fox smoke."
After that, he handed Mu Xiaoxiao a white stone engraved with the fox clan's mark. This white stone is equivalent to the fox clan's signal wolf smoke. It burns when exposed to fire, and its white smoke can stretch for hundreds of miles.
Mu Xiaoxiao thanked Hu but did not return, and took Linlang with him to look for the fox clan's footprints along the path.
After the two left, Tu Shanren said: "Mu's surname is the Fox clan. It's really good to have two brothers and sisters.
Taking the body of Huang, the eight-tailed fox demon. Taking out any one of them can restore the glory of my fox clan. "
Hu Bugui said: "You only know that they are glamorous in front of others, but do you know what they have paid for it?
The Mu clan's surname is Fox, so they should be the only two brothers and sisters left. In the Battle of the Gods, the gods made the fox clan the target of public criticism, and we forged an eternal feud with the human race.
How should we calculate this account? "
Tu Shanren said: "We have been guarding here for thousands of years. This paradise is worthy of our continued guarding. As for other things, let's not think too much about it..."
"Oh?" Hu Bugui said coldly: "Your Tushan clan has a lot of entanglements with the human race. The human race turned against you, but you can tolerate it for thousands of years. I can only say that I admire you."
Tu Shanren said no more. He looked at the purple miasma deep in the mushroom forest, as if there was something there expressing dissatisfaction to him.
And there was only a bit of reluctance and helplessness in his eyes. The Tushan clan, a surname that was once famous among the human and fox clans, can now only survive in Qingqiu.
The moonlight passed through the fluorite and gradually rose from the end of the mushroom forest. The first ray of silver light passed through the gap in the forest and fell on the malachite on Tushan's neck.
The stone reflects the light, and you can vaguely see the word "女小" engraved on it...
