"Nonsense!" I didn't want to pay attention to them, so I picked up my feet and walked forward.
After a while, Lao Jiang also caught up.
However, the strange thing is that even though Lao Jiang has been promised to go do business, the foxes remain still, staring at us with their two black grape-like eyes, watching us leave.
After we walked some distance, they followed us again like ghosts.
We go, they go.
We stop, they stop.
Seeing them following one after another with no intention of giving up, I had to ask them what they wanted to do.
As a result, we never expected that the leading old fox would reply: "Master Shangui is gone, and we don't know where we are going or what we are going to do in the future. Otherwise, you can be our boss."
In the world of beasts, animals that live in groups generally have their own leaders. For example, a monkey group has a monkey king, and a wolf group has a wolf king. They usually follow the leader's orders when hunting.
Moreover, they advocate the natural law of 'survival of the fittest'. If the wolf king is successfully challenged by another wolf, he will be replaced by the new wolf.
But this kind of king selection rules are usually generated internally. I am not a fox, so how can I be the boss of the fox?
However, this group of foxes respect mountain ghosts, and presumably they don't care what ethnic group they are.
"Apprentice, I'm really becoming more and more optimistic about you. You have a lot of skills, but you're really lucky!"
Lao Jiang looked at me with an envious expression.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true. Although I was cursed, I obtained the "Thirty-six Techniques for Moving Mountains and Reclaiming Seas" along the way. If you are willing to follow me, I am quite lucky to be the master.
However, in the face of the good intentions of these foxes, I flatly refused: "You don't need a boss. As tomb beasts, you have been imprisoned in the ancient tomb for so long and suffered so much. Later, you devoted yourself to the success of the whole mountain." You have never lived for yourself in this life! Now that the mountain ghost has passed away, it is time for you to find your own happiness in the mountains and forests."
"Remember, you are free!"
Those foxes looked at me and I looked at you, with a confused look on their faces, as if they were unfamiliar with the word 'freedom'.
But I think it won’t be long before they, who can run, play and reproduce freely in the mountains and forests, will slowly understand the true meaning of this word.
The group of foxes finally stopped following me. Without that troublesome tail, I could finally settle the score with Lao Jiang.
"Tell me, why are you using me as bait again!"
"Do you think that my destiny is so great that I can't die every time, and you have to let me die once to be satisfied?"
Thinking that I was the only one left in the thousand-year fog, dealing with the fox marriage team, and almost being scared out of my wits several times, I wanted to vent my anger by doing something to deceive my master and destroy my ancestors.
Lao Jiang smiled coquettishly and wanted to fool me into getting away with it.
I said coldly: "It's okay if you don't tell me. When I get back, I will tell He Lanxue that you had a bridal chamber with a sexy fox in Wawu Mountain."
"Nonsense! It's obviously..."
Lao Jiang was about to retort, so I quickly pulled Yin Ling'er, my backer, to my side: "Ling'er, did you hear just now? Lao Jiang persuaded me to accept this drop of ghost tears. But before, in the thousand-year fog, It's very possible that he separated from you on purpose. Don't you want to know the truth? "
Yin Ling'er immediately pointed the finger at Lao Jiang, put her hands on her hips, glared, and asked him what he was doing with the chassis.
Lao Jiang really had no choice but to agree to tell us the whole thing.
Yin Ling'er was quite polite and threatened: "Remember, I am not that easy to deceive. If you miss anything, I will file a complaint with the master when I get back! You said you threw me in the mist and almost died." , hum.”
Lao Jiang sighed helplessly and admitted: "The Thousand-Year Fog thing was indeed my intention."
After walking for so many years, Lao Jiang not only has rich combat experience, but also has an innate awareness of danger!
A strong sixth sense told him that there was a huge secret hidden in this mountain ghost in Heizhugou. If he wanted to pass smoothly, he must crack this secret.
He vaguely felt that the mountain ghost was not as vicious as the old hunter had described. Although the thing had a demonic aura, he did not detect the slightest murderous intent from those golden melon seeds, so he felt free to use me as bait.
After all, when I spent the night in Heizhugou, I was targeted by foxes, and I accepted their engagement gift. I was really the best candidate to act as bait!
When Lao Jiang said this, he spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "After all, there are only three men in our team. The fox has already said that I am an ugly old man. As for the barbarian with blond hair and blue eyes in the back, I don't have to choose. who?"
After hearing this, Ge Weihan, who was taking notes, was furious on the spot: "Fuck! Who is a barbarian? I am obviously a scientist of the United States."
Lao Jiang helplessly spread his hands: "Okay, okay, American barbarians are enough."
I was too lazy to listen to their argument, so I raised my hand and made a 'stop' gesture, telling Lao Jiang not to be too pretentious and to get to the point quickly!
Lao Jiang said as he hurried on: "So I made a bold plan. When there was fog around me, it happened to meet the conditions of the right time in my plan. When I noticed that the fox was looking at me, it was a good location. I took the opportunity to talk to you. Getting separated is the real first step in the overall plan.”
"So, where did you go?" I asked, tightening my clothes.
Lao Jiang showed me the shining golden melon seeds and explained: "At that time, I used a dragon-seeking ruler to determine the evil spirit released from these golden melon seeds, and searched for the evil spirit in the thousand-year fog area. source.”
"The first time we arrived at the mysterious ancient tomb that was dug..."
"Mysterious tomb?"
Although I already knew the existence of the tomb above the tomb from Lao Jiang's words, being able to find the source of the evil spirit in such a short period of time shows that Lao Jiang's ability to find the dragon's acupoints is far beyond my imagination.
Is this his hidden strength as the Black Sword Kirin?
I don’t know if Lao Jiang noticed the weird look in my eyes, but he continued what he just said: “The source of the demonic energy is indeed an ancient tomb, but to be more precise, it is actually a destroyed Taoist Nine Palaces and Bagua array.”
"When I followed the dragon-seeking ruler to find the place, I discovered that there were nine peach trees planted around it. The peach trees are also known as the 'Dragon Subduing Tree', which can drive away evil spirits and fight ghosts. Moreover, these nine peach trees are listed according to Taoist secrets. It seems to be sealed with something.”
But it is a pity that all nine peach trees fell down and were withered but not dead. There was a copper coffin scattered in the center!
Obviously, the formation is broken!
