Behind the stone slab is actually a hanging shed-like space. If I climb over, I can jump to the other side of the wall without having to cross a meter.
That's exactly where I met Su Zixuan. The hole I blasted into the wall of the underground palace was still open there without any cover-up, quietly waiting for our return.
In other words, waiting for us to fall into the trap.
Everything in the underground palace is as before, including Tie Qing's bloodstained corpse is still in the same place, just like the old residence of the departed person, everything is very familiar, but the person who came back has no feelings of returning to the old place, only suppressed feelings. Live in horror.
I gestured to Xia Qingqing and the others, and walked into the secret passage first. The huge boulders that originally fell in the secret passage have all been opened, and the road is unobstructed, as if they are waiting for us to return to the secret room.
There are still hidden weapons everywhere in the secret room, but the pool has become extremely clear, just like when we just entered the secret room.
I turned to look at Su Zimo, who nodded slightly: "That's the smell here."
I stared at the water for a moment and waved to Xia Qingqing and the other three to step back. I took out my dagger and cut my wrist, dripping blood into the water. Blood dripped into the water, and white smoke rose up from the pool.
After just a moment, a large number of water bubbles rolled out of the pool, and layers of mist followed.
After a while, the bloody pool suddenly opened in front of my eyes, and a figure slowly rose in the center of the water waves.
That's me!
I suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The man who stood up from the pool looked exactly like me from head to toe, except that he was completely naked.
When Xia Qingqing and Su Zimo looked at me in shock, the man who stood up from the water also said: "Don't be nervous, I'm not you, and I don't have any ill intentions. I came out just to tell you something."
While the other party was talking, he sat cross-legged in the water and covered his vitals with the blood-stained water.
Can she float on water? How high is the opponent's skill
I was slightly shocked and moved two steps forward, only to see that the other party was actually sitting on a platform raised from the pool.
The other party smiled and said: "I said, you don't need to be nervous. In fact, I don't have the ability to hurt you."
Only then did I notice that the muscles on the other person's body were not very strong, at least she couldn't explode with the same strength as me.
I also sat down cross-legged by the pool: "What do you call your friends?"
The other party thought for a moment and said, "Just call me Little Nine Tails! At least, the main body has always called me that."
"Are you a nine-tailed fox?" I couldn't help but frown.
"Not entirely!" Xiao Jiuwei said: "A long time ago, the main body has been living on that mountain without contact with anyone. Later, just like what was painted on the mural outside, she accepted the goodwill of the residents and became the patron saint here. Guardian. Let them live and work in peace and contentment."
"The true body is not immortal. There will always be a time when life is exhausted. There is only one nine-tailed fox in the world, and the true body cannot reproduce like other creatures. However, she can make a new copy of herself. The exact same self. Can you understand what I mean?"
"I understand!" The first thought that flashed through my mind was the current cloning technology.
Unexpectedly, Little Kyuubi actually captured the thoughts in my mind in an instant: "I didn't expect that human beings' abilities have reached this level. They have actually touched the edge of the secret technique of Kyuubi's resurrection."
I frowned slightly, and Xiao Jiuwei quickly explained: "I didn't mean to peek into your thoughts, I'm just used to it, don't mind!"
"Yeah!" I nodded noncommittally, and Little Kyuubi quickly changed the subject.
"At the beginning, no one knew the secret of the original body. However, as time went by, someone finally discovered that the original body could be reborn. Then, a very old-fashioned story began. You humans call it 'repaying kindness with evil'."
"Just like what was painted in the mural, they launched a large army to attack the temple. At that time, the main body was the only one in the temple. Although she defeated the rebels, she was also seriously injured. After the main body won, she made a very wrong decision , she did not kill all those traitors, but sent them to the land of oblivion, making them forget everything."
"The original body spared the rebels, but she also had a sudden idea. In order to avoid the weakness during rebirth, she copied herself into two clones. One is me, and the other is the former Kyuubi."
Little Kyuubi explained: "Because the former Kyuubi was born a few days before me, the main body called it the former Kyuubi. After the main body copied the two of us, it returned to the Land of Oblivion and handed over the Fox Palace to us. .Let us look after the tribe outside."
Xiao Jiuwei paused for a moment before saying: "Because each of us has a part of the original memory, we also know very well about the betrayal she suffered back then."
"The former Kyuubi has always been resentful of those people's betrayal. It always feels that if it is not from its own clan, it will betray itself sooner or later. In your words, it should be 'people who are not from my clan will have different hearts', right?"
"However, the two of us are not the original body, and there is no way to copy ourselves on a large scale. So the former Kyuubi has been thinking of ways to let people have their own bloodline."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be shocked and said: "The first nine tails are Qingqiu Fox, and you are Tushan Fox?"
"Huh?" Little Kyuubi was apologizing to me a moment ago, but now he couldn't help but invade my mind: "Oh, that's it, it seems that the former Kyuubi succeeded. She should be the Qingqiu Fox you mentioned. She has indeed inherited many advantages of the original body, especially its charm.”
I frowned and said, "Don't you know she created the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom?"
"I don't know!" Tu Shanhu shook his head and said: "The two of us had a disagreement a long time ago about the issue of descendants. We originally wanted to ask the ontology to give us a comment, but the ontology avoided us. Later, We simply left the Fox Palace. Before we left, we agreed that each of us would guard the Fox Palace for an era. After an era, we would take turns. This is an explanation of our true nature."
I said in a deep voice: "How do you calculate an era? Is it based on your fox clan's method or human's method?"
Tu Shanhu smiled and said: "Of course it's the human way. Nine-tails means that it has endless life, why should we spend energy calculating time?"
"Era, era..." I recited it twice in a row before saying, "The era you call should be the dynasty of mankind, right?"
"Oh, yes!" Tu Shanhu nodded: "It should be the dynasty. What you call an era is too long. Well..."
Tu Shanhu hesitated for a moment and said: "This statement is not very accurate. Qingqiu and I have a vaguer division of eras than you humans. Let's put it this way! Take the Xia Dynasty for example, from the founding of Xia Qi to the fall of Xia Jie My time. After the death of Xia, it was her time to establish the Shangtang Kingdom. I say this, do you understand?"
I roughly understood what she meant: every dynasty change in history was not accomplished in one fell swoop. It might take several years, ten years, or even decades of disputes in between. The two nine-tailed foxes use the alternation between dynasties to determine time.
For example, the Xia Dynasty in the Shang Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty did not experience any era of feudal rule. Naturally, Tushanhu took advantage. However, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Three Kingdoms Period, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, which were long periods of division and separatism, was the world of Qingqiu Fox.
I suddenly thought of a question, and my face sank slightly: "Which of you is first and who is last?"
Tu Shanhu said: "The person who occupied the Fox Palace first was Qingqiu Fox. And after I met King Yu, I went around to play."
My eyes couldn't help but narrowed: "Then how did you return to the Fox Palace?"
Tu Shanhu said: "I found out that the era belonging to the Xia Dynasty was over and came back. But I found that the original residents of Xingxiu Sea had disappeared, leaving only thousands of black fox guards and temples full of institutions."
Tu Shanhu snorted coldly: "That guy in Qingqiu always likes to do these little tricks, and he always leaves me in trouble even before leaving. Of course I can't take advantage of her. The only thing I do in the temple is to keep giving her Creating trouble."
"Because we each build our own institutions, there are many institutions in the Fox Palace."
"No wonder, there are so many contradictions in the Fox Hall Agency." I finally figured out why the Fox Hall Agency was so confusing and messy.
If the mechanism here was not the work of two people, how could there be so many contradictions. Just like the bathroom, daily necessities, killing moves, vitality, and pregnant water monsters are all put together. This is a taboo in the layout of the mechanism, but it is not surprising that it was written by two people at different times. They were scheming against each other.
When I thought of this, a thought popped up in my head, and I couldn't help but frown: "Do the four beauties have anything to do with you?"
"Of course it does matter!" Tu Shanhu said bluntly: "Qingqiu must use some tricks to get me back early."
I said with a sinking face: "How long did she use these methods?"
"Probably before the Han Dynasty, right?" Tu Shanhu said, "The last person she sent out was named Zhao Feiyan."
The Han Dynasty did not fall because of female sex, at least it is not recorded in history books. In other words, the fall of the Han Dynasty had nothing to do with the Fox Clan. Zhao Feiyan's final outcome was that she was demoted to a commoner and disappeared without a trace.
The chaos of the eternal beauty is half caused by the fox clan and half by the mysterious organization.
The Fox Clan will not leave their descendants in the world, and that mysterious organization continues to plunder "perfect human beings". This is the reason why many stunning beauties have disappeared.
Tu Shanhu smiled slightly and said: "I know, what are you thinking? Are you wondering whether the beauty of the ages is related to the fox clan? Let's put it this way! The four great beauties should all come from Qingqiu. I don't want to be close to humans. Dare to be interested and let them get close occasionally, and let them worship me as a god."
