No wonder there are inconsistencies in the myths and legends about the nine-tailed fox.
When the Nine-Tails is born, the country is auspicious and the world is peaceful. The story is about Tushan Fox.
The Nine-Tails appeared in the world, bringing chaos to the world, and devastating all living beings. The story is about the Qingqiu Fox.
The source of Tushan and Qingqiu's appearance turns out to be here.
Tushan Fox saw that I was silent and couldn't help but laugh: "So that guy from Qingqiu has caused so much trouble in the world! It seems that the reputation of the Fox clan has been ruined in his hands!"
I couldn't help but squint my eyes, and Tu Shanhu took advantage of me again and probed my consciousness. But Tu Shanhu didn't feel anything was wrong at all, and I had nothing to do with her. I could only continue to ask: "After Zhao Feiyan, have you never fought again?"
"No!" Tu Shanhu shook his head and said, "It's not that we don't want to fight anymore, it's just that we are unable to do what we want."
"First, we have been fighting for thousands of years. When our life span is about to end, how can we still think about continuing to fight? Instead of wasting our energy, it is better to take a good rest and wait for the sunset to arrive."
"second… "
Tu Shanhu hesitated for a moment before saying: "The second point is a bit embarrassing to say. After the Han Dynasty, a group of people called the Detective Hands appeared. They have been against the Fox clan. We have clashed with the Detective Hands several times. I found that although the skills of those detectives are not high, they are very difficult to deal with. In addition, Qingqiu and I are already declining, so naturally we don't want to waste our efforts with them."
I couldn't help but ask: "How powerful was the original detective?"
Tu Shanhu obviously wanted to put some money on his face. Foxes are one of the most vengeful animals, and if they hadn't had no choice but to use their magic skills, they would never have given up easily.
I smiled a little at Tushanhu, but the other person's face darkened slightly.
Seeing that the other party wanted to fall out, I quickly changed the subject and said, "Have you never gone out since you came in?"
"No!" Tu Shanhu shook his head and said: "Qingqiu and I both fell into a deep sleep, and no one left the underground palace. After that, many people came in, and many of them were descendants of Qingqiu. It's just that. , they didn’t go out after they came.”
I saw the coldness in Tu Shanhu's eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you kill them?"
"Of course!" Tu Shanhu nodded and said, "If I don't kill them, I will be swallowed by Qingqiu. I can only kill people."
Tu Shanhu continued: "Actually, Qingqiu and I are not complete copies. Each of us has one-third of the original ability. Moreover, our abilities will continue to be consumed as time goes by. We want to To become a complete copy, the only choice is to devour each other with the original body."
"Qingqiu and I both wanted to devour each other, but we chose different routes."
Tu Shanhu said sternly: "Qingqiu's method is to create the ancient Qingqiu country and disperse her own bloodline. Even if I devour Qingqiu, she will still have nearly two layers of bloodline flowing outside, so as not to devour them all." , I will never be a complete copy. More importantly, the descendants of Qingqiu will continue to come to me and cause trouble."
Tu Shanhu said in a paused voice: "And what I choose is to preserve my bloodline to the greatest extent, so that I can always stay in the best condition and be able to devour Qingqiu at any time."
I suddenly realized: "That's it!"
The last secret of the nine-tailed fox myth has also been solved.
No wonder, of the two nine-tailed foxes that appear in mythology, one has always been active in various legends and even spread overseas. The other one suddenly silenced and searched for traces, but could not find any clues.
It turns out that there are many descendants of Qingqiu lineage, and they are constantly accumulating strength, ready to return to their ancestral land and save their ancestors at any time. It is precisely because the Qingqiu line continues to develop descendants that such Qingqiu legends have been left to the world.
The Tushan Fox has always been a loner and rarely appears in the eyes of the world. Even the Tushan tribe who once worshiped the nine-tailed fox has let its totem pass away in the long river of history. How can there be another in the world? The legend of Tushan Nine Tails
While my mind was still spinning, Tu Shanhu said again: "Over the years, every time I wake up, I will go out to inspect and change the mechanisms in the underground palace to ensure my own peace. I originally thought I would She is a loser. I didn’t expect that the real loser would be Qingqiu. She even lost her own descendants.”
I don’t know how many times I felt disgusted from the bottom of my heart. Tu Shanhu never gave up on penetrating me. In just a short time, she looked at me from the inside out. I have no secrets left in front of her.
I simply stopped fussing with her: "You're telling me this, don't you just want to tell me the story of Kyuubi?"
"Of course not!" Tu Shanhu shook his head and said: "Some people have entered the underground palace before, but at most there were only a few people who would not pose any threat to me. This time is different. This time I clearly feel the danger. .Very intense danger."
Tu Shanhu said with a serious expression: "I need someone to help me deal with Qingqiu and even devour the real body. You are the most suitable person."
I stared into the other person's eyes and said, "Didn't you see that among the people who entered the underground palace this time, I am the weakest? I will probably be the first to be killed."
"No!" Tu Shanhu shook his head and said: "Your strength seems to be the weakest, but in fact, you are the strongest. It's just that you don't know how to use your strength."
Tu Shanhu looked at me with a serious expression and said, "In a word, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
I looked at the other person with a smile on my face without saying a word. Tu Shanhu then put away his previous smile and said, "I can promise that I will never peek into your inner secrets without your permission in the future."
Tu Shanhu said this, but she didn't say anything. She had seen me inside and out before, but she never said hello to me.
Tu Shanhu was silent for a moment and then said: "You mean to prepare for an equal exchange, right?"
This time Tushanhu really didn't pry into my thoughts, because I didn't think about anything.
However, I also know that Tushanhu is just trying to express a kind of kindness to me.
Tu Shanhu said to himself: "As long as you help me swallow the body, I can agree to any request you have within my ability, but it is limited to three requests. What do you think?"
"Okay!" I nodded: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance! But before we cooperate, shouldn't you explain why you chose me?"
"Because your Xingtian Slash is the only secret skill that can harm Qingqiu." Tu Shanhu said bluntly: "However, the harm your Xingtian Slash has brought to you is also huge. Judging from your current mental strength, You can't hurt Qingqiu, let alone our body."
Tu Shanhu said for a moment: "But, with my help, you can create opportunities for me unexpectedly. This is the opportunity I want."
I nodded expressionlessly: "Keep talking!"
Until now, I didn't fully believe Tushan Fox.
Her words are very different from those of the Banshee in the Cage. I am not sure which one is true and which one is false.
I remember someone told me that the highest level of deception is nine lies and one truth, or nine truths and one lie. But now I just can't figure out whether Tu Shanhu's words are true
I know that my cooperation with Tushanhu is really about seeking skin from a tiger. However, if I don't cooperate with her, I don't even have the slightest chance of winning. I can only choose to win the one in ten thousand hope.
Tu Shanhu nodded with satisfaction and said: "I have nothing more to say. The rest is for you to ensure that no one will die before we find the original body."
I raised my eyes and said, "You don't know where the main body is?"
"I don't know!" Tu Shanhu said: "Qingqiu and I don't dare to approach the Forgotten Land easily. One-third of our strength is not enough for us to fight against the main body. It is impossible for the two of us to truly join forces. So, who I haven’t even been close to the Forgotten Land.”
Tu Shanhu smiled bitterly and said: "The reason why we took care of a group of people who had their memories obediently taken care of was because we were afraid of the true body? We would take turns guarding the Fox Palace, which was actually a test of the true body."
I asked curiously: "What's the result of your testing?"
Tu Shanhu said seriously: "The main body is either sleeping, or has died of old age in a place of oblivion. I think the former is more likely. The main body will copy itself, so she is more likely to be alive."
My brows couldn't help but frown more and more tightly. Why did the nine-tailed fox deliberately split into two copies? Is it just to maintain a triangular balance
It shouldn't be like this! That meant nothing to the seriously injured Nine-tailed Fox.
Is it to let the two clones share his injuries and then swallow them back so that his injuries can be recovered in a short time
Not right either! That was completely self-defeating. The nine-tailed fox, known as the most cunning, should not make such a low-level mistake.
I closed my eyes and pondered for a while. I really couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, so I changed the subject and said, "You and Qingqiu can't copy yourself? Then how can you copy me?"
"Haha..." Tu Shanhu laughed and waved her arms slightly, and the blood-red water under her body became clear and translucent again. Only then did I see more than ten corpses lying under the pool. Although the corpses had all limbs, their faces were extremely blurry. At first glance, they looked like rounded dough.
Tu Shanhu pointed at himself: "I can use your blood to copy your appearance exactly, but I can't copy your abilities. I am no different from an ordinary person now, that's why I need you protection of."
I couldn't help but narrow my eyes: Does the dignified Tushan Fox need protection from others
