(People today don’t see the moon in ancient times, but today’s moon once shone on ancient people)
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, then reached out and took off the mask of the seven-tailed fox demon, revealing an old and delicate face under the mask.
"Grandma Mujin?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked in shock.
After hearing this, Hibiscus nodded and said with a smile, "You still remember me."
Linlang on the side was also shocked when she heard Mu Xiaoxiao being called this. She looked at the hibiscus grandma carefully. Although she had the blessing of seven tails, this hibiscus did not seem to be able to escape the erosion of time.
Wrinkles are engraved on her human-shaped face, but her delicate facial features are so agile and energetic.
It was like a young girl who was forcibly aged by some kind of magic in an instant.
Moreover, she and Mu Xiaoxiao share the same surname of Mu. Hu Bugui had said before that there were only two brothers and sisters named Mu Zhizhi from the Fox clan. It seemed that Grandma Mu Jin had many secrets hidden in her body.
"Who is this?" Mu Jin looked at Linlang and asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao said: "This is the great sage Huangfeng of the demon clan, Linlang. You come with me this time for my brother."
Immediately afterwards, Mu Xiaoxiao informed Mu Jin of Mu Zhizhi’s current situation.
At the same time, the situation on Mu Xiaoxiao's side also aroused the curiosity of the fox tribe. They stopped shouting and focused their attention on Mu Xiaoxiao's side.
After Mu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Mu Jin's face began to look solemn.
"The situation in Zhizhi is not optimistic. I need to negotiate with the other elders." Grandma Mujin said, "Xiaoxiao, you and I go to the altar first. Don't blame the great sage Huang Feng. Please take a rest here. .”
Linlang frowned slightly, then felt relieved. After all, he is a foreigner, and Hibiscus has relaxed his mind by allowing him to stay in the Fox Clan's forbidden area. The altar is the core of the forbidden area, and the ban is reasonable.
Mu Xiaoxiao took Linlang's hand and said, "Sister, don't blame me, I'm going first."
Afterwards, Mu Xiaoxiao and Grandma Mu Jin jumped onto the altar.
When the other nine elders saw Mu Xiaoxiao coming, they didn't feel anything strange. They just sat there minding their own business.
Mu Jin stepped forward and returned to his seat, sat down, and said to Mu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, please release the branches."
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao infused the wisteria gourd with his lifting skills. Seeing this, the blue and white skeleton in the gourd also immediately sent out Mu Zhizhi's body.
The moment Mu Zhizhi appeared, the energy and blood in the fox clan's bodies began to surge!
Amid the uproar, apart from Hibiscus, another elder of the Fox clan also looked shocked.
"Eight...eight tails?!"
Seeing this, Mu Jin said: "Whenever there is a dispute between gods and demons, Mu's son hates the Eight Tails. However, his hatred is so heart-wrenching that he is on the verge of life and death.
However, the three surnames of my Fox clan are of the same spirit, and the gods forced my clan to survive in the mountains. From now on, it will last for thousands of years.
Now that the Eight-Tails has appeared in this world to show off the power of my fox, he will have the opportunity to lead our fox clan to see the light of day again in his life. His death will be the destiny of our fox clan!
This is the time of crisis for our fox clan. Are you going to save me or not? ! "
"That's the Eight-Tails..."
"Among the elders, only the Seven-Tails and the Eight-Tails are the most powerful. What has he experienced?"
For a time, discussions started by the lakeside. The elders on the altar also looked at each other.
"Hibiscus, the power of the Eight-Tails is already unbelievable. If you save him, we, Qingqiu, may fall into a place of eternal disaster." One of the elders said.
Another elder said: "Old man, how long has it been since we saw the moon outside the mountain? Look at the gate of Qingqiu. On which day are there not hundreds of fox tribes peeking out?
There must be quite a few of your fellow tribesmen smuggled away. Are you willing to spend your whole life in the heart of this mountain? "
Seeing the hesitation of the elders, Mu Xiaoxiao stood up and shouted: "Elders, there are not only eight tails in front of you."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoxiao's body shook, and he spread out the power of Cheng Huang, revealing the wooden horns on his shoulders.
"Chenghuang! Have you cultivated Chenghuang's body?!" the elder named Lao Ba said in shock.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued: "You just exist in the heart of the mountain and don't know what's going on outside. You envy our power, so why don't you ask us what we have been through?
Gaining power requires sacrifice. You are proud of us because our sacrifice is worthy of this power, but you are not worthy! "
The scene of Mo Yun's death in battle now appeared in Mu Xiaoxiao's mind. With tears in her eyes, she turned around and took out the fox-face mask in her arms and said, "Do you really think that my brother will stop at Eight Tails?"
"hiss…"
The elders were silent. This day brought them too many surprises.
"If you want to see the number seven, you should lose your close relatives. If you want to see the number eight, you should meet your face and be born. If you want to see the number nine, you should kill the nine.
The fox clan can only have one nine-tails..."
Hibiscus stood up slowly and placed the fox-face mask in Mu Xiaoxiao's hand on Mu Zhizhi's face. In an instant, the nine jade pillars around the altar drew silver light into strands of light and focused on Hibiscus's flower drum.
"Everyone, do you want to save me or not?" Mu Jin said.
"save!"
At this moment, the elders had no objections. The temptation of Jiuwei and Chenghuang was enough to convince them.
Hibiscus and Mu Xiaoxiao looked at each other and smiled, and then Hibiscus walked to the side of Mu Zhizhi. Sit facing Mu Xiaoxiao.
She looked up at the sky. At this moment, the moonlight leaked a trace of polarized light, and Mu Jin said: "Everyone, let me, Mu, be the chief this time. The moon sacrifice array will be launched!"
After Hibiscus finished speaking, the other nine elders waved to take off the masks on their faces and threw them towards the nine jade pillars.
And the nine masks were actually suspended in the air on nine jade pillars, dyed jade-colored by the silver light.
"You young foxes, get ready to wear your bones!" Hibiscus shouted.
After hearing this, all the young foxes calmed down and took out the human skulls they had prepared to wait for the moonlight to come.
The moonlight was getting thicker, and when it illuminated the first jade pillar, Hibiscus shouted: "Take the bone and lead it!"
The young foxes hurriedly brought the human bones, and the young foxes on the left and right held hands, and began to shake their bodies in an orderly manner as the elders on the altar chanted.
For a moment, the sound of the words spoken by the elders of the Fox clan expanded and enveloped the entire lake.
Linlang watched this mysterious ceremony from the edge of the lake. Although she could not understand what these ancient words were about, judging from the trembling figures of these elders, the process of the Fox tribe's transformation into humans must be bumpy. .
The full moon gradually filled the cave entrance on the top of the mountain, and the nine jade pillars were all lit up by the moonlight, and the moon's figure reflected on the lake surface seemed to have turned into the moon.
"Close your eyes, bye!"
After Hibiscus gave the order, all the foxes spread their hands, closed their eyes and worshiped devoutly. They didn't know whether they were worshiping the moon in the lake or the moon in the sky.
But seeing that——
There is a bright moon flying mirror above, and a dark water lake mirror below.
The two mirrors go back and forth to take pictures of each other, and they look like the shadow of a fox.
The flying mirror leads to the lake tide, and the lake mirror water climbs high.
Leading the moon to the canal, the moonlight dyes the fox hair.
The full moon caused the water on the lake to rise, gradually overflowing the edge of the lake. The lake water passed through the canal and was delivered to the jade platform where each young fox sat, so that all the fox clan were enveloped in the moonlight.
The scenery is comparable to fairyland!
At this time, Mu Jin spoke: "Xiaoxiao, with your Chenghuang power, can you repair Zhizhi's eight-tailed body?"
Mu Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, my brother's skin was completely broken at that time, and I used the secret technique of Chenghuang to repair it."
Mu Jin nodded and said: "Wait a minute, we will uncover Zhizhi's skull and directly use the power of the moonlight accumulated in the jade pillar and the power of the Nine-Tailed Soul to awaken his consciousness, but you have to protect him during this period. His injuries and soul, otherwise the broken soul of the Nine-Tails will take away his soul."
After hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao naturally understood what Mu Jin was going to say. Every soul wants a body of its own, and Kyuubi's broken soul is no exception.
"Let's start." Mu Xiaoxiao said.
Mu Jin winked at the elders. The elders understood and turned their masks towards Mu Zhizhi. Then, green light suddenly shot out from the eyes of the nine masks, pointing directly at Mu Zhizhi's Tianling Cap.
At the same time, Hibiscus turned its hand, and through the bursts of sound waves, the moonlight was injected into the seven orifices of Mu Zhizhi.
Mu Zhizhi's Tianling Cap at this time was naturally pierced by the green light, burning down bit by bit.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly used Huang's secret technique "dead wood grows flowers" to play with the injuries caused by the blue light.
Growing flowers from rotten wood is one of the secret techniques of the Yellow River. It has the effect of healing trauma and consolidating spiritual consciousness. It is perfect for use at this time.
The green light is the broken soul of the Nine Tails. As the remaining broken soul of the Fox Clan Supreme, he can quickly find the stone holding him down in Mu Zhizhi's consciousness. What Mu Xiaoxiao has to do is to prevent this force from backlashing Mu Zhizhi's consciousness.
In the chaos of light and shadow, Mu Zhizhi's consciousness still stayed on the top of Huaguo Mountain. He knelt on the ground, holding Mo Yun's body.
The blood and tears on his face had dried, and the remaining blood formed a stance to wrap around the top of the Huaguo Mountain, and the other covered his eyes. Lanfeng was unable to awaken Mu Zhizhi that day because this layer of blood barrier had exceeded his spiritual position.
A flash of blue light poured down and gathered into the shadow of the nine-tailed white fox. It was erratic in the bloody force field. Finally, it opened its mouth and bit down, breaking a small gap in the force field with its sharp teeth.
The nine-tailed fox took the opportunity to turn into smoke and get in, and ran to Mu Zhizhi. Seeing Mu Zhizhi sitting aside blankly, it jumped over with great interest and sniffed around him.
Mu Zhizhi seemed to feel the arrival of the nine-tailed fox, and turned his bloody eyes to glare at the nine-tailed fox. Behind him, the eight tails were wagging in the air.
When the nine-tailed fox saw this, it whined lowly, as if to show its goodwill to the wood branch. But just when Mu Zhizhi was relieved, the nine-tailed fox suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit Mu Zhizhi's neck!
"boom..."
The altar of the fox clan outside was shaken, and Mu Xiaoxiao also looked embarrassed. She clearly felt that Mu Zhizhi's consciousness was involved with something.
"Hurry up and strengthen his spirit!" Mu Jin shouted, then she turned to the remaining elders of the Fox clan and said: "Moon shackles!"
After that, the flower drum in Hibiscus's hand turned the moonlight injected into the seven orifices into ten spirit chains, one for each elder.
And the nine-tailed fox in his consciousness was restrained by the moonlight chain that came out of thin air!
Mu Zhizhi's consciousness gradually improved during this tug, and he also felt the power of the Fox clan and the power of Mu Xiaoxiao's movement.
"Well..."
Mu Zhizhi began to struggle, and the nine-tailed fox was unwilling to let go. As the two were involved, some memory fragments belonging to Jiuwei gradually appeared in Mu Zhizhi's mind.
This dispute lasted for a full two hours. As the outside moon shifted, the nine masks that were resting on the jade pillars also lost their jade color.
The moonlight dissipated, and all the human bones on top of the young foxes were absorbed. They had no time to rejoice when they first transformed into human beings. Instead, they all focused on the wooden branch in the center of the altar.
"Brother?" Mu Xiaoxiao muttered lightly.
Mu Zhizhi was now glowing with silver, and he was wearing a fox-face mask. No one knew whether he had woken up under the mask.
"Xiao...Xiaoxiao...I made you worry..."
Mu Zhizhi's voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears. Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then hugged Mu Zhizhi and cried bitterly.
Mu Jin watched the silver light on Mu Zhizhi dissipate, and a clear look appeared in her eyes. She smiled and nodded at Mu Zhizhi, and then said to the fox demons: "The Eight-Tails is coming again, lucky for the fox clan!"
There were cheers for a while, but Mu Zhizhi looked around inexplicably, and finally laid his eyes on Mu Xiaoxiao...
