The land of China is vast and boundless. In the world, apart from the people who are known as the spirits of all things, there are countless creatures living together with human beings in this world. For example, poultry includes chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, and beasts such as wolves, tigers and leopards are all familiar to people.
Since ancient times, there have been a lot of anecdotes and legends in the world. In the wild and remote places in the four corners of China, among the poor mountains and rivers, there are some ancient spirit beasts and relics of the prehistoric, which survived in the world. For thousands of years, the legends of countless passionate youths who trek across mountains and rivers to catch dragons and monsters have been talked about and passed on by word of mouth.
Among these numerous legends, the fox demon family may not be the most ferocious and powerful monsters, but there is no doubt that the fox demon is the most magical, mysterious, and even the only legend with some sophistication in the eyes of the world.
When ancient behemoths such as the "Black Water Profound Snake" became the goals of countless teenagers to prove their strength in cultivation, the fox monster often seemed to have a tinge of ambiguity in people's mouths. Although there have always been legends of foxes hurting people, different from other monster legends, the fox family often leaves touching stories such as falling in love with people, which is really very special among all kinds of legends about monsters harming the world. Standout and otherworldly oddities.
Of course, these are just rumors among ordinary people and ordinary people. In the eyes of real practitioners, the fox demon clan is a group of extremely intelligent and even cunning creatures. Their power is far inferior to incredible ancient monsters like the Blackwater Black Snake, but these monsters understand human feelings. It is even said that after a certain level of practice, the fox monsters have the ability to transform into adults. The reason for spreading out.
Among the fox demon clan, there is the most intelligent and mysterious branch. It is said that as their practice increases, the tails behind them will continue to grow. There will be three tails called demon foxes after a century of practice, and six tails after a thousand years of practice. , it is a demon fox; and when it has nine tails, it is already the supreme realm of monsters in the world. No one knows how many years of practice it will take to reach it, but according to legend, the fox demon who has reached nine tails It is already a peerless monster with supernatural powers, and it is called the "Nine-Tailed Sky Fox"!
It's just that this legend is too miraculous, most people in the world don't know about it, but in Gui Li's heart, it is like a bright mirror. Not for anything else, just because ten years ago, under the Fire Dragon Cave, the pair of fox demons who died for love was the first time in his life that his once firm belief was impacted.
To this day, I occasionally dream back at midnight, and the bleak and beautiful figure of the white fox can be vaguely seen.
Waves of blue light refracted from the hard and cold ice to the surroundings, illuminating the three floors of the altar with constant light and darkness. In front of Ghost Li and Xiao Hui, from the deepest part of the darkness, under the faint blue light with some eerie light, a huge figure slowly appeared.
An arctic fox, a huge arctic fox!
It was the first time in Gui Li's life that he saw the real body of such a huge white fox, from where he was standing, the white fox was twice as tall as him, as tall as two people. Even under this dim light, the pure white fur is still so beautiful, and the smooth down is as soft as the best silk in the Central Plains.
This is an animal that makes people feel beautiful at a glance, but its body is so huge that it feels a little scary unconsciously. In fact, this white fox is in a state of extreme agitation at the moment.
The originally silent space of the altar was filled with the white fox's screams and howls at this moment, and the pair of black and deep eyes set on the white skin was also full of madness at the moment.
The blue light became brighter and brighter, and the wind had already blown at some point. The corners of Ghost Li's clothes fluttered, Xiao Hui was screaming, grinning at the white fox, making a vicious shape.
Huo Di, the white fox let out a neighing sound in its throat, suddenly lifted its front feet off the ground, and straightened up. Almost in line with its movements, Gui Li felt the surrounding solid ice suddenly burst into blue light, and amidst the roar, two huge ice cubes, as tall as three people, moved out of thin air and slammed towards Gui Li viciously.
Gui Li frowned tightly, and a blue light of Soul Devourer appeared, carrying him and Xiao Hui back quickly. Almost at the same moment when their figures disappeared, two huge pieces of solid ice collided with each other, making a deafening noise, and turned into broken ice and scattered on the ground.
Before they could stop, the solid ice on the three floors of the altar, emitting a blue light, lit up at the same time. In an instant, the strange power in this space was overwhelming, and countless ice cubes, large or small, slowly floated up. In the middle of the sky, it looks colorful and shining, it is extremely beautiful and magnificent.
Gui Li frowned even tighter. This nine-tailed celestial fox is indeed extremely powerful. All kinds of monsters he has encountered over the years, except for the incredible ancient giant beast like the black water snake, can only be described by the nine-tailed fox in front of him. Tail Sky Fox is the most powerful.
It’s just that somehow, when his gaze gazed at the white figure and its slightly crazy and deeply sad eyes through countless ice cubes shining with beautiful and coquettish blue light, there was a certain feeling that he had not seen for many years , just like the pair of demon foxes who died in love back then, began to linger in his heart, but no matter what, he was unwilling to take action against this white fox.
It's just that he hesitated here, but the nine-tailed celestial fox over there screamed sharply, and in an instant, countless ice cubes floating in the midair roared towards him at lightning speed as if ordered by mysterious power.
Gui Li's expression turned cold, he stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Hui to his chest, at the same time he flew out sideways while controlling the Soul Eater Wand. All of a sudden, the sky was full of blue light flashing, the ice was as hard as rain, and the sound of ice cubes colliding and roaring could be heard endlessly. At every moment of the flash, countless streaks of blue ice chased that cyan figure.
It's just that this blue shadow is like a ghost, often hiding in the gap between the ice and rain, or left to right, or up and down, avoiding this seemingly endless layer of ice rain.
The scream of the white fox was even louder, but for some reason, it sounded a little out of breath in the midst of anger. In the midst of a fierce fight, suddenly a blue shadow flashed, Gui Li's figure somehow passed through layers of ice, and charged close to the white fox itself.
The white fox was startled, its beautiful white fur swayed without wind, and it waved its front paws, as if it was about to use some kind of strange spell, but at this moment, suddenly a dark red light rose from behind it, almost at the same time, The white fox's body trembled, as if it had been hit hard, its eyes were confused, all the demonic power dissipated in a moment, and its body fell down wearily.
And at the next moment, a blue shadow floated up, and a pale hand stretched out from the light, and grabbed the white fox's neck extremely quickly.
The white fox let out a low cry, its eyes filled with pain and helplessness, but seeing its expression, it closed its eyes immediately, as if accepting its fate, and closed its eyes to wait for death.
At the tentacles, there was ice-cold but soft fur. Ghost Li's hand landed on the white fox's throat. The huge body of the white fox was right in front of him, but for some reason, it was just like a fragile little one in his hand. bird.
Xiao Hui lay on Ghost Li's chest, and suddenly cried a few times in a low voice.
Gui Li silently looked at the white fox in front of him, and slowly withdrew his hand.
The white fox slowly opened its eyes, and what caught its eyes was the figure of the man standing in front of it.
One person and one fox, just staring at each other like this!
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a roar, the ice cubes flying all over the sky behind Ghost Li lost their demon power and fell one after another, colliding with each other, splashing ice crystals, and even more white icy mist scattered in all directions, rushing over from behind, killing Ghost Li It is completely concealed with the figure of the white fox.
After a long time, the ice dust gradually fell, and the figures of Gui Li and Bai Hu reappeared.
At some point, Xiao Hui climbed onto Ghost Li's shoulder again, blinking three eyes, looked at Ghost Li, then at the white fox in front of him, and then looked around again, as if suddenly staring at the beautiful things scattered all over the place. Bing Jing became interested, so she jumped off Gui Li's shoulder, sat on the ground, picked up a few beautiful ice cubes emitting blue light, and started to play with them.
The white fox's gaze shifted from Ghost Li to Xiao Hui, took a deep look, then returned to Ghost Li, and after a while, he asked, "Why didn't you kill me?"
Its words sounded at this moment, and it had obviously calmed down. Gui Li didn't answer right away, he looked behind the white fox unexpectedly, and soon, he found what he guessed.
A dark red iron chain as thick as an ordinary person's arm was locked around the white fox's waist. Looking at it at this moment, there was a faint red light in the iron chain, and one could feel that strange magic power from a long distance away.
Just now, the white fox suddenly lost strength in the middle of a fierce fight. Obviously, this prohibition has exerted its effect. It's not surprising, if it wasn't for such powerful restraints, with the peerless power of the legendary nine-tailed sky fox, how could the Xuanhuo Altar be able to trap it
The white fox looked at Ghost Li, Ghost Li didn't answer its question, it didn't seem to care, because what it cared about was something else.
"Where is Xiao Liu? Did you kill it and take the 'Xuan Huo Jian'?" Its voice sounded very low, very tired.
Gui Li was silent, and after a long while slowly said: "The Xiao Liu you mentioned, is it a six-tailed magic fox with six tails?"
The huge body of the white fox shook slightly, and lowered its head.
"It's dead!" Gui Li's voice was not loud, but he said clearly.
The white fox looked at the ground in front of him, and said faintly: "How did you die?"
"Ten years ago, two friends and I heard that there was a monster under the Black Stone Cave in Xiaochi Town, so we went to check it out." Gui Li's face was as calm as water, and he talked about the past lightly. For a moment, there was no sound in the huge space, only his voice floated gently, and occasionally the sound of Xiao Hui playing next to him could be heard.
"... In the end, it saw that it couldn't do anything, and the three-tailed demon fox also died, so it decided to commit suicide. Before it died, it tied the Xuanhuo Jian to my hand." Gui Li stretched out his hand and took out the Xuanhuo Jian from his bosom. I saw that under the faint blue light around, the ancient flame totem seemed to be burning gently.
The white fox stared blankly at Xuan Huo Jian, as if in a daze, and after an unknown amount of time, it said in a low voice, "Xiao Liu is my son!"
The silence around him seemed to be dead, Gui Li looked at the sad white fox in front of him, and suddenly felt out of breath.
The white fox shadow engraved deep in the heart and falling into the hot magma is as clear as it is in front of your eyes.
Ten years, as if it was only yesterday.
What, quietly changed, your and my mind
"I was the one who killed your son." Gui Li said flatly, "In the future, if you have a chance, just come and kill me."
The white fox raised his head and took a deep look at him, for some reason, Gui Li suddenly felt that the white fox was smiling, looking back with thousands of years of vicissitudes, with a faintly sad smile.
"It can give you the Xuanhuojian. I am its mother. Don't you know what it's thinking at that time?" The white fox said quietly, turning around slowly, the iron chain locked around its waist made harsh noises. the voice, imprisoning it.
Gui Li watched the white fox slowly walking towards the depths of the darkness, suddenly felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart, and blurted out: "What can I help you with?"
The white fox froze, but didn't turn around, but there was a hint of excitement in its voice: "Will you help me?"
Gui Li didn't speak, didn't answer.
The white fox turned around slowly, at this moment, suddenly, a strange light seemed to glow in its deep black eyes.
"Three hundred years ago, our fox demon clan snatched the Xuanhuo Jian from Fenxiang Valley, but there were no casualties. Except for Xiaoliu who escaped by chance, only I survived and was imprisoned in this Xuanhuo altar. Chain' torment. My whole mana is suppressed by this mysterious fire chain and the 'Eight Fierce Black Fire Formation' under the mysterious fire altar, and I suffer day and night."
It sneered, and said: "If Fenxianggu didn't want to know the whereabouts of Xuanhuojian from me, it would have killed me long ago."
Gui Li silently nodded.
The white fox glanced at him, and said: "This mysterious fire chain is a foreign object from heaven and earth. It is blazing hot. Once it is locked, only those who know the secret mantra of Fenxiang Valley can open it. But other than that, as long as there is a mysterious fire sword, It can also be opened!"
Ghost Li's gaze slowly turned to the Xuanhuo Jian in his hand, a faint gentle feeling came from the ancient flame totem on the Xuanhuo Jian.
The voice of the white fox continued in front: "The Xuanhuo Jian is the essence of all fires, an artifact to open the sky. You just need to go to the stone wall at the end behind me, there is a cylindrical stone platform, and the Xuanhuo chain is protruding from there. At the same time, go deep into the volcanic magma underground to absorb endless heat from it. You can untie the mysterious fire chain by placing the mysterious fire mirror on the stone platform. Without this restriction, just because there is no eight evil black fire circles hosted by the mysterious fire mirror below, I can't stand it anymore."
Speaking of the latter part, Baihu's voice trembled slightly, obviously emotionally agitated.
Gui Li didn't speak, his face was as calm as water.
The white fox looked at him, and after a while, with deep disappointment in his eyes, he suddenly let out a wry smile, and said softly: "Have you regretted it? Forget it, in fact, who in this world is not like this?"
Saying that, it seemed to turn around again, but Ghost Li moved suddenly.
He walked forward slowly, walked past the white fox, Xiao Hui behind him raised his head, seemed to be interested in the situation here, jumped over two or three times, and jumped on Gui Li's shoulder.
Ghost Li walked past the white fox, and the white fox also turned around, its huge body accompanied Ghost Li, somehow, it seemed to have a strange look in its eyes.
"Young man, why do you want to help a monster?"
Gui Li didn't turn his head back, didn't move, the white fox followed behind him, and couldn't even see his expression, but after a while, he heard the man, walking alone in the darkness, whispering to himself: "Actually, in this world, who would Isn’t that so…”
"Ten years ago, when I put the two of them down into the magma with my own hands; ten years ago, under the Jade Immortal Formation, when I watched her fall from mid-air..."
The white fox stopped in its tracks. The end of the mysterious fire chain had a strong restraint on the monster, so it couldn't move forward. And Xiao Hui seemed to feel something at this moment, jumped off Gui Li's shoulder, and stopped beside Baihu.
But Gui Li didn't stop.
The white fox watched silently, the darkness in the darkest place lightly poured down, engulfing the man's figure.
It suddenly sighed!
After a while, it turned its huge fox head and approached Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui faced this monster that was hundreds of times bigger than itself, but showed no fear at all. Looking at the white fox.
"Is he also a sad person?" The white fox asked quietly.
Xiao Hui blinked, squeaked, and scratched his head with his hands at the same time.
The white fox smiled lightly, the vicissitudes and sadness in the laughter.
"You don't have enough knowledge, and you have just opened your mind. How can you know the love of people in the world?"
It whispered softly, its voice gradually getting lower and lower, and it was vaguely heard: "There is such an infatuated man in the world, so that we will still miss him deeply for thousands of years..."
※※※
At the entrance of Fenxiang Valley.
The atmosphere became more and more chilling, and the field was quiet. Everyone of the Murlocs stared angrily at the group of people headed by Guan Ce above Fenxiang Valley, while the people of Fenxiang Valley were terrified.
Many disciples had already begun to secretly look around. The cold wind was blowing, the branches and leaves were dancing lightly, and the low ghost crying sound came from nowhere in the dark night, which made people feel chilling.
Shangguan Ce's brows were tightly frowned, and his face was serious. This unknown murderer is not afraid of profound knowledge, but with his whole body of cultivation, he is definitely not afraid. But it is really worrying that a person with this level of skill is so ruthless and clearly intends to provoke the conflict between Fenxiang Valley and the murloc barbarians.
Could it be that Fenxiang Valley's hundred-year-long plan has finally leaked out
Thinking of this, although Shangguan Ce's morality is profound and his mind is firm, he still can't help but feel confused.
But he is not an ordinary person after all, he calmed down after a while, knowing that the mysterious murderer is watching tigers in the dark at this moment, and he must not get confused. Moreover, in these hundreds of years, it was really the first time that someone acted so boldly and dared to be so presumptuous in Fenxiang Valley. If you don't teach me a good lesson, I'm afraid cats and dogs will dare to make trouble in the future!
Shangguan Ce settled down, moved his head to the side, Li Xun understood, and came forward, Shangguan Ce said coldly: "The order will be passed on, all the disciples will mobilize, seal all the exits in the valley, and release all the 'red-eyed eagles', Hovering above, we must not let this murderer escape."
Li Xun nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Master, the Valley Master..."
Shangguan Ce shook his head, and said: "Since the owner of the valley asked you to order me to deal with this matter tonight, it must be that he is still unable to separate himself. You also know that he..." Halfway through speaking, Shangguan Ce suddenly stopped talking, and looked up at Li Xun glanced, "Later, I will naturally explain to him."
Li Xun lowered his head and said, "Yes, I will do it right now, disciple." Then he turned around and left.
When his Yingwei walked backwards, the surrounding Fenxianggu disciples made way for him one after another, and Yan Hong, who had stood by his side from the beginning and listened to the conversation between him and Shangguan Ce, had a pair of Looking at Li Xun's figure in his bright eyes, there seemed to be a faint flicker of strange light.
Li Xun's figure quickly disappeared into the darkness deep in Fenxiang Valley. There was a commotion among the murlocs over there, and several murlocs screamed strangely at the same time. The tall murloc headed by talked with other monsters for a few words, and when he turned around, his face was full of anger, and he kept saying "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi".
Shangguan Ce frowned, and Sun Tu beside him had already translated: "They told us to quickly hand over the murderer who killed their patriarch, or they will kill us all."
Shangguan Ce snorted, and looked at the murlocs coldly. Those murlocs were obviously a little afraid of Shangguan Ce, and they were a little stunned for a while, but after their brutality came up, more murlocs started roaring angrily.
Shangguan Ce knew that these murloc barbarians could not be treated with common sense, and the big event in Fenxiang Valley was imminent, it was definitely not the time to fall out with these southern barbarians, and the peerless figure hidden in the Shiwan Dashan was not only him, but even Yun Yilan, the master of the valley with all-powerful Taoism, is also a little bit afraid.
He was thinking about how to temporarily appease these barbaric alien races, and slowly said: "Everyone, I, Shangguan Ce, will definitely explain to you what happened today, but I will wrong you here for the time being..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, without warning, the ground under his feet trembled violently.
The shock was so violent and sudden that many Fenxianggu disciples and murlocs were caught off guard, unable to stand still and fell to the side.
Shangguan Ce's Taoism is profound, so he is naturally different from those ordinary disciples, he steadied his body almost instantly, in shock, he turned around from the corner of his eyes unintentionally, and saw that Yan Hong standing beside him was also unstable, but only worse than himself. Slowed down a bit and stabilized his body.
"Ah! God, the sky has changed color!"
I don't know who was the first to yell out, and everyone looked up at the sky in an instant, only to see that the dark night sky suddenly turned red at this moment, and countless clouds that looked like burning flames moved quickly, spinning around a certain place , there is a faint sound of wind and thunder, the weather is myriad, and it is extremely spectacular.
Shangguan Ce was taken aback, his expression changed drastically, and he turned his head almost subconsciously. Sure enough, the place surrounded by countless flames and clouds was exactly where the mysterious Xuanhuo Altar was located.
Shangguan Ce was frightened and angry, he couldn't care about other things anymore, he stomped his feet fiercely, his body turned into gray light and flew towards the Xuanhuo Altar with incomparable speed. But at the moment when his body flew into the air, for some reason, a faint question flashed across his mind like lightning - how did Yan Hong's skill improve so fast
