The Xuanhuo Jian placed on her chest gradually calmed down, and all the light slowly disappeared. Zhang Xiaofan suddenly realized that the huge fire dragon that was rolling down below also disappeared at some point.
Really, I don't know how long it's been...
He was stunned on the spot, with millions of thoughts swirling in his mind, but he still felt that his mind was blank.
The six-tailed white fox was silent for a long time, then slowly raised its head, and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Young man, come here."
Zhang Xiaofan walked over slowly, and behind him, in that corridor, the howling wind was getting louder and louder!
The six-tailed white fox was still hugging the unconscious body in front of him, his face had regained his composure at some point, and even his voice was as calm as water: "Can you do me a favor?"
Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a while, and said: "What?"
The white fox glanced at the woman in his arms, and said quietly: "Throw the two of us into the magma below!"
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly raised his head, and took a step back.
The white fox looked at him without saying a word.
Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word, he just felt that his eye sockets suddenly started to heat up, as if being scorched by flames.
He nodded heavily.
The white fox smiled and hugged the woman in his arms tightly.
One step, two steps, Zhang Xiaofan walked slowly towards the end of the platform with the two foxes hugging each other tightly.
The raging heat wave roared at his feet.
Finally, he came to the end and stood on the edge of life and death.
The white fox's face suddenly looked better. It raised its head and looked at the boy.
No one saw Zhang Xiaofan's expression at the moment.
Then it suddenly smiled, as if all the grievances had been forgotten, just like an old elder staring at the boy.
"Young man, why is this so?"
Zhang Xiaofan didn't speak.
The white fox gently picked up the Xuanhuo Jian that was still on the woman's chest, with its last strength, pulled up the sleeve of Zhang Xiaofan's right hand, and tied the Xuanhuo Jian to his arm with two red silk tassels.
"This is the supreme fetish that our fox family bought with countless lives. Give it to you as a souvenir!" It smiled, and at the same time, its whole body began to tremble violently again, and black blood flowed from the corner of its mouth: "However, you Don't let others see it..."
His voice, finally, also lowered.
Zhang Xiaofan clenched his lips, took a deep breath, and then let go of his hands.
In the distance, with a loud bang, Baguio and Shitou, as well as Li Xun and Yan Hong from Fenxiang Valley shot out like lightning from the corridor and appeared on the platform. Just in time, Zhang Xiaofan threw those two foxes into the magma.
Zhang Xiaofan stood at the end of the platform, unaware of what was going on behind him, staring blankly at the figure rolling in the air.
The wind blowing from nowhere swept his skirt.
There was a faint light flashing, and the soft and charming woman took off her worldly clothes in a graceful flip, revealing her real body, a beautiful three-tailed fox.
Two foxes who lost their lives but are still beautiful embrace each other tightly, rolling in the air and falling down. Until with a deep sound, they melted into the lake and disappeared without a trace.
Baguio was a little worried, stepped forward, and shouted: "Xiaofan..."
But that boy, if he didn't hear it, just stood there, motionless.
※※※
Coming out of Huolong Cave, passing through the dark Heishi Cave, and finally returning to the ground. At this moment, the sky is already bright.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, including Li Xun and Yan Hong. Judging from the expressions of the two of them, they were also somewhat tired. It was conceivable that the monster named "Big Black Leech" (Note 1) that was defeated by the four of them last night was not so easy to deal with.
But only Zhang Xiaofan remained silent for some reason.
Baguio standing beside him asked him softly, Zhang Xiaofan just shook his head.
Li Xun took a look here, walked over, and said to Zhang Xiaofan, "It turns out that Junior Brother Zhang had to escape from the abyss of death, it's really gratifying."
Zhang Xiaofan forced a smile, nodded, and replied: "Thank you Senior Brother Li."
At this time Yan Hong also came over, her expression was much more relaxed than Li Xun's, she smiled and said: "Senior brother Zhang, you have a deep destiny, if you survive a catastrophe, you must have future blessings." When she said this, she suddenly smiled : "Speaking of which, when I was in Necromancer Abyss, because I couldn't find you, those fellow students of yours were really anxious, especially your Senior Sister Lu..."
Zhang Xiaofan's heart moved, he raised his head, looked at Yan Hong, but saw that she had a half smile on her face, and glanced at Li Xun next to her.
Feeling Yan Hong's eyes, Li Xun gave a rare smile, but there was a faint light flashing in the depths of his eyes, and he nodded slowly: "Yes, those fellow students of yours are very worried about you. Go back and report your safety!"
Zhang Xiaofan was a little moved, he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you both."
Yan Hong returned the salute with a smile, but out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently caught sight of the green-clothed woman standing beside Zhang Xiaofan, she had a pretty face, but her face was a bit gloomy at the moment.
Yan Hong has always been careful, so she took notice immediately, couldn't help but look at Bi Yao twice, and immediately said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Senior Brother Zhang, may I ask who these two are..."
Zhang Xiaofan turned his head and said: "Oh, this one is named Shitou, he is a disciple of the right way cultivator 'Vajra Gate' Dali Venerable."
Then he said to Shitou: "Brother Shi, these two are Senior Brother Li Xun and Senior Sister Yanhong from the Fenxianggu sect."
When Shitou heard this, he was immediately in awe. In the eyes of cultivators all over the world, Fenxiang Valley has a great reputation, and it is definitely not under the famous Qingyun sect. They greeted him immediately and said: "You two are polite."
Li Xun and Yan Hong bowed and returned the salute. Yan Hong smiled and said: "Brother Shi's morality is very high!"
Shitou blushed, but he was a straight-hearted person, he couldn't help showing a bit of smugness on his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you."
Yan Hong turned around with a smile, glanced at Bi Yao, and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Then what about this girl?"
Zhang Xiaofan choked for a moment and didn't speak. Baguio stood beside him, his eyes gradually turned cold.
But Shitou saw that they didn't speak, so he smiled and said: "This is a Baguio girl, she is a friend of Brother Zhang, and she has a deep cultivation."
Li Xun glanced at Bi Yao, but seeing that she had no intention of saying hello, he turned his head away too. But Yanhong seemed to be very careful about Biguio, and said with a smile: "Ah! So it's a girl from Biguio, I don't know which family you are from?"
Baguio glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, but saw that he was silent, suddenly sneered, and said: "I have no family and no affiliation, I am born lonely, I help others once in a while, but I am also despised by others!"
Zhang Xiaofan frowned when he heard it. Yan Hong looked at her with a smile.
At this time Li Xun coughed in front of him, and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Junior Brother Zhang, I have something to ask you."
Zhang Xiaofan didn't dare to neglect, said: "Senior Brother Li, please speak up if you have something to say."
Li Xun looked at him and said slowly: "Junior Brother Zhang was the first person to enter the Huolong Cave. May I ask if you have ever seen a jade ring in that cave or on the white fox with a flame totem in the middle and a jade ring at both ends? Is there a magic weapon for red silk tassels?"
Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat, but the stone next to him shouted loudly: "Yes! Yes! Last night when we were fighting with the three-tailed demon fox, we saw her use this magic weapon."
Li Xun and Yan Hong showed joy at the same time, but Yan Hong's thoughts were more subtle, after a second thought, she said to Li Xun: "Then why didn't the three-tailed demon fox offer the Xuanhuo Jian when we went down last night?"
Li Xun said indifferently: "She used the mysterious fire sword to summon the fire dragon to fight us, and the mysterious fire sword must be on her body."
Yan Hong pondered and nodded. Li Xun turned to Zhang Xiaofan, said: "Junior Brother Zhang, the Xuanhuo Jian is a treasure of my master's sect, it is of great importance, I wonder if you have seen it before?"
Everyone stared at Zhang Xiaofan for a moment. Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "No."
Li Xun was startled and frowned.
Yan Hong's eyes turned on Zhang Xiaofan, and pondered: "Why, when Senior Brother Zhang fought with the 'Three-Tailed Demon Fox' and the 'Six-Tailed Demon Fox', they didn't use this Xuanhuo Jian?"
Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a while, and said: "Last night, after I stumbled into the fire dragon cave by mistake, I found that the white fox, the six-tailed demon fox you mentioned, was seriously ill and dying. Later, the three-tailed demon fox came in. At that time, it might be fighting with the four of you outside, and it would also seriously hurt your vitality. I didn't spend much effort, so I beat them, beat them down."
Both Yan Hong and Li Xun immediately showed disappointment on their faces. Yan Hong turned her head and looked at Li Xun. Li Xun said indifferently: "Before I came out of the Huolong Cave, I had searched the surrounding area carefully, and there was no trace of the Xuanhuojian. I'm afraid I fell into the magma with them. buried."
Yan Hong sighed, and then said: "Forget it, Senior Brother Li, no matter what, we have eliminated the remnants of the evil fox, and we have an account for the sect."
Li Xun nodded, then turned around, bowed his hands to Zhang Xiaofan and the other three, said: "Since this is the case, my junior sister and I still need to go back to Fenxiang Valley to report to our master, so let's go first."
Zhang Xiaofan and Shitou hurriedly said: "Please go ahead, both of you."
Only Baguio still had a gloomy face, standing to the side, motionless.
Li Xun nodded and said to Yan Hong: "Junior Sister, let's go!"
Yan Hong smiled and nodded, but suddenly remembered something, turned her head and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Senior brother Zhang, recently the Demon Cult is ready to move again, Qing Yun Sect will gather with other righteous people at Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, I heard that your master's lineage is If you have to go, why don't you go to meet?"
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, and then his face became happy, he said: "Really? They are all going to Liubo Mountain! Then I will leave right away."
Yan Hong smiled and nodded, and said: "That's good, after senior brother Li and I go back to the master's gate, maybe we will go there too, see you by fate then!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked a few steps with Li Xun, Yan Hong suddenly turned her head and smiled at Bi Yao, "Miss Bi Yao, that golden bell on your waist is really pretty."
Baguio's expression changed, the golden bell on her waist was naturally the "Acacia Demon Bell" left by Mrs. Jinling when she and Zhang Xiaofan were trapped in the Blood Dropping Cave under the Necromancer Abyss.
This time when Yan Hong suddenly mentioned it, she almost mistakenly thought that the gentle female disciple of Fenxiang Valley had seen through her identity.
But Yan Hong only said this sentence, she just smiled at her as if nothing happened, and left with Li Xun.
Bi Yao frowned, feeling suspicious in her heart, suddenly felt something, looked to the side, saw Zhang Xiaofan also looking towards her.
※※※
The three of them also left the woods outside the Black Stone Cave, passing by the full moon well last night, Baguio remembered that the three-tailed demon fox asked Zhang Xiaofan several times what he saw in it, so he also asked him a few words. Zhang Xiaofan was startled at first, but didn't answer, just shook his head.
Baguio was angry, so she didn't ask him any more, but she was very curious, so she walked over. She looked down from the ancient well, and saw that the well was deep and secluded, and the well water was clear, reflecting her own face, which was very beautiful, but there was nothing unusual about it, so she didn't take it to heart.
They came out of the woods and returned to Xiaochi Town. The mayor and other citizens had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When they saw their figures, they immediately surrounded them.
When Shitou said loudly that the evil spirit had been removed, and that all the villagers could live in peace in the future, the crowd burst into cheers and were all elated.
Standing by the side, Zhang Xiaofan looked at the joyful crowd, but felt confused for a while, and the two demon fox figures appeared in front of his eyes.
When Li Xun asked him about Xuanhuo Jian just now, he naturally knew that what they were looking for was actually tied to his arm, but somehow he remembered what the white fox said.
In fact, he and the six-tailed demon fox only met for one night, and there was absolutely no friendship, but seeing the three-tailed demon fox resolutely committed suicide, and the six-tailed demon fox jumped into the hot magma with her in his arms, that The thrilling scene is still in front of my eyes.
Deep down in his heart, he actually felt close to the demon fox, so he inexplicably shirked his ignorance from Li Xun and the other two, and kept it a secret.
Shito managed to get out of the crowd and winked at the two of them. Zhang Xiaofan and Bi Yao looked behind him, they saw all the villagers surrounded him with smiles on their faces.
Shi Shi turned to the crowd and said: "Everyone, please listen to me, this matter is over, we will continue to practice, and we will leave here today. As for the silver taels of gratitude, I will share with these two companions. Thank you, but silver is something outside of the body, it is useless to ask for it. Please go back, everyone!"
After that, he walked a few steps quickly, pulled Zhang Xiaofan, and said in a low voice: "Go quickly."
All the people saw the three people turned into a few flashes of lightning, and disappeared after two roars. They sighed and discussed for a while, and then gradually dispersed.
But after the crowd dispersed, at the corner of the street, an old man and a young man came out, looking in the direction where the three of them disappeared, and looking at it, it was the fortune teller Zhou Xian and his granddaughter Xiaohuan.
Zhou Yixian glanced in that direction, saw no one was around, and whispered to Xiaohuan: "Unexpectedly, even though the three-tailed demon fox had the Xuanhuo Jian in his hand, he was still eliminated by these people."
Xiaohuan held a bunch of freshly bought candied haws in his hand, ate them with relish, and said: "If the magic weapon is really as powerful as you say, how can there be any trouble with the three-tailed demon fox? I see that Xuanhuojian or something , most of it is just a vain name.”
Zhou Yixian frowned and said: "The Xuanhuojian is an ancient artifact, there is no doubt about it, I think it's probably because the three-tailed fox is not good enough to fully use the power of the Xuanhuojian. In addition, two more Fenxiang Valley came last night. She is a powerful person, she is also doomed!"
Xiaohuan glanced at him and said, "Tell me, who got the Xuanhuo Jian?"
Zhou Yixian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Most likely it was taken back by those two disciples of Fenxiang Valley. Forget it, alas! I wanted to go in and see if there were any good things, but I didn't expect..."
With a "poof", Xiaohuan spat out a candied haw core, and said, "Then where are we going now, Grandpa?"
Zhou Yixian pondered for a while, and said: "I heard that people who are upright and evil have all gone to the East China Sea recently. I don't know why. And looking at the direction that the three of them went just now, it is the East. It's not as good as us. Let's go and have a look!"
Xiaohuan chuckled and said, "Then let's go! It's the same wherever we go."
※※※
After Zhang Xiaofan and others left, Xiaochi Town returned to its former calm, and naturally no monsters came out to harm the people in that black stone cave. But the strange thing is, not long after, in the woods outside the Black Stone Cave, many wild beasts appeared inexplicably, and some of them looked strange, and the people in Xiaochi Town had never seen them before.
In the following days, nine out of ten people who strayed into the woods accidentally never came out again. However, these monsters have a characteristic, that is, they will not come out of the forest. Later, the people of Xiaochi Town discovered this, and no one went to that forest again.
As the years passed, the place became more and more desolate, with no one inhabited, and no one remembered what happened in the woods.
After Zhang Xiaofan and others left, the people in Xiaochi town sighed and built an immortal ancestral hall on the east side of the town, where three immortals were enshrined: the one in the middle was tall and strong, like a vajra, and the other It is a man and a woman. The woman was quite beautiful, but the man was very strange, holding something that looked like a fire stick in his hand.
The following years are far away, and posterity has long forgotten what happened today, but the incense in the fairy ancestral hall in Xiaochi town is very strong. Although there are good people who have done many researches, they still can't guess which god in the sky they are. It is said that they are the land Bodhisattvas in Xiaochi Town, but they don't look like it.
I don't know if it is because of being incensed for a long time that I have aura. It is said that people who worshiped and petitioned in this fairy ancestral hall were very effective. After the reputation spread, people from all over the world also came to pay homage, some wished to get rich, some prayed to become officials, and later pregnant women prayed to have children, and even came to worship the statues of Shi Shi and others.
I don't know how the three of them would feel if they knew about this matter
