Although Xu Guan has a persistent personality, he is definitely not a brainless person. He knew that the people of Tanuki obviously didn't want to dwell on this topic, and Xu Guan himself didn't want to do these useless quarrels, since no one could convince anyone, there was no need to quarrel.

He changed his tone, and naturally took over Wu Yan's words of teasing Tanuki: "So how did Tanuki follow you at that time?"

"She, when I met her more than a hundred years ago, she was a little gray fox who couldn't even transform into a human form. I think it was as if she had been hunted and killed, and she ran all the way through the woods, running around in a panic, and happened to run into me. Wu Yan naturally took Xu Guan's words and completely opened the page of the quarrel just now.

"Hunted and killed?" Xu Guan wondered.

"It's Bing. At that time, China was still a period of warlord warfare, and some stragglers did not listen to the command and ran around with guns on their backs. I guess I wanted to eat game that day, so I happened to meet her. After Wu Yan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the raccoon dog and said with a smile: "It's really a blessing and a great life." The soldiers who were chasing you must have died. ”

"Definitely dead. The raccoon nodded heavily, even after more than a hundred years, when talking about that incident, he was still angry with the soldiers: "I was just passing by the nearby woods, and when a few of them saw it, they fired their guns at me, but fortunately I ran fast enough." ”

"You are a monster, why can't you even deal with people?" Xu Guan said strangely.

"They have guns! Not to mention that my skills were still very low, even now, I wouldn't feel good if I was shot. The raccoon pouted and rolled its eyes.

"Okay, okay. Xu Guan smiled bitterly, and at this time he also somewhat understood what Wu Yan said before, if there are really only low-level monsters left in this world, they can't afford to make too many waves, with the current scientific and technological weapons of human beings, it is not too difficult to deal with these low-level monsters. If the two races really go to war, it will definitely be the human side that wins. But is that really the case? The world is too big, there are too many inconsistencies, and there are too many variables, and this is just one of many outcomes.

Wu Yan saw that Xu Guan suddenly lowered his head and was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking. She continued the topic from the raccooner: "The raccoon's parents are both ordinary and gray foxes, but for some reason, the raccoon dog was born with a demon body and has demon powers. Tanuki herself felt strange about this, no monster had taught her how to practice, and she had never cultivated, but from a very young age, she had demonic power, and at that time, she often made some strange movements because she couldn't control it.

Moreover, the gray fox is generally able to leave her parents to forage independently between one and two years, but the raccoon dog is an exception, she once said that in her memory, her parents raised her for four or five years, and she still did not grow up, she was still a young gray fox. It seems that her early childhood is much longer than that of other gray foxes. After five years, the nature of the gray fox led her parents to abandon her after five years of raising her, insisting that she had the ability to survive on her own. ”

"A natural demon body?" Xu Guan felt strange and glanced at the raccoon dog deeply.

"I also checked later that the strength in her body was indeed innate. Wu Yan said his conjecture again: "Maybe in her family, there was a monster predecessor a long time ago. ”

"It's not impossible. Xu nodded and agreed with Wu Yan's conjecture.

"Why, Miss, why have you never told me?" Tanuki Er wondered, she had guessed if her mother had mistakenly taken something like the spirit grass when she was pregnant with her, but this conjecture was later overturned by herself: after eating the spirit grass, the first person to absorb the spiritual power should be the mother, but the mother has never shown anything special, and besides, the other brothers and sisters who are in the same child as her have not been conceived by the spirit grass at all, and she is the only special existence that is born in a litter.

Wu Yan explained the confusion of the raccoon: "Generally speaking, after an animal cultivates into a monster, the blood of the reborn child will carry some demonic power. If two monsters are combined, then their children must be monsters when they are born, and so on, if every offspring is combined with monsters, then this monster family, no accident, will continue forever, of course, this situation is rare.

In the second case, an adult animal is combined with a non-demonic kind, so that the child born will also carry demonic power, but it is definitely not as strong as the child in the previous case, because the bloodline with demonic power is diluted by half. If the offspring born in this way are combined with an animal that does not have the blood of the monster, the blood of the monster will be diluted more and more as it is passed from generation to generation. After about six or seven generations, the offspring born no longer has the characteristics of a yokai, and is no different from ordinary people of the same kind.

However, there are exceptions to the second case. Although such offspring no longer have yokai characteristics, it does not mean that they have completely disowned their yokai ancestors. The diluted monster bloodline still remains in their bodies, but it is only hidden. There is a small chance that in a certain offspring in the future, the implicit becomes explicit and shows the characteristics of the youkai again, which is the case with you. Her last words were said by looking into the tanuki's eyes.

"I see. "Tanuki finally understood. She suddenly thought of her possible monster ancestor again: "However, in the two hundred years since I became a demon, I have not heard of any other gray fox monsters. In my previous generations, if there was really a certain ancestor who was a monster, with the lifespan of a monster, even if it was six or seven generations past the ordinary gray fox, it should still be alive. ”

"Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of a monster is so long, but there are also special ones, such as cultivating to go mad and become demonic, or being defeated in a battle with other cultivators, there are too many accidents in the night world. ”

Tanuki nodded, and it wasn't for nothing.

Everyone walked and chatted along the way, and unconsciously half of the day passed, and besides, with their foot strength, most of the day had already walked into the hinterland of the grassland.

Wu Yan suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a river on the grassland in the distance: "We have arrived." ”

"Is that there?" the tanuki looked at the river, which was just an unremarkable river that meandered through the grassland, and saw nothing unusual.

"Go up that river, that's it. Wu Yan said: "It's not far off. I remember very well that when I came here, it was still summer, and the river was wider than it is now, and there was more water than it is now, and the weeds everywhere were much more lush and green than now. ”

After finding this treasure place suitable for hiding and seclusion, Wu Yan let Wu Jiang stay here and returned to the Diqiu battlefield alone. On the other hand, the leader Wu Wei decided to attack Xu Guan, who was active in the Yanzhao area, so he sent the Great Protector Wu Li and the four Great Witches to kill him. At that time, Xu Guan was still fighting side by side with the inn guards and other cultivators, so Wu Li had to wait patiently, find an opportunity when Xu Guan was alone, and lead four great witches to besiege him.

When the battle reached the exhaustion of both sides and they were seriously injured, the Taoist Chengfeng Zhenren had no intention of passing near the battlefield, and hurriedly took action, beat away Wu Li and others, and saved Xu Guan. At the same time, when Chengfeng Zhenren was dealing with Wu Li and others, a group of night rays appeared by chance and bumped into the seriously injured Xu Guan, Xu Guan had no choice but to drag the seriously injured body to fight with the night ray again, and finally killed all the night rays, and he was also bitten out by the night rays.

After Chengfeng Zhenren came back, Xu Guan felt that his life would not be long in coming, so he handed over the jade pendant to Chengfeng Zhenren. In order to save Xu Guan's life, Chengfeng Zhenren used a secret law to make him sleep, and he left to go to the imperial capital to find a helper to come back to treat him. As a result, he met Nanshan and the other Lich Clansmen in the imperial capital, and was killed by Nanshan, and the jade pendant was also snatched by the Lich Clansmen.

The night watchman's jade pendant never leaves his body, unless he is gone. Therefore, when Wu Yan, who was on the battlefield of Diqiu, learned that the night watchman Jade Pendant had been snatched from a Taoist monk, he suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the sky—Xu Guan was actually dead! And he didn't even know when and where he died.

She immediately found Wu Yi and asked what was going on, Wu Yi said hesitantly that she heard that the leader had sent Wu Li to Yanzhao to deal with Xu Guan, which might have been done by him.

Originally, he had promised Wu Yan that he had patted his chest before, but now that such a big change had happened, for a while, he also felt ashamed of Wu Yan. Wu Yan was about to leave for the leader of the clan to ask Wu Li clearly, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold him, tried every means to persuade and block, what could he do if he asked? Xu Guan stood on the side of the inn, he was the enemy of the clan, and there was nothing wrong with dealing with him. But you, Wu Yan, for the sake of an enemy, questioned the leader and the Great Protector, do you want to rebel against the clan? If you really quarrel and anger the leader, no matter how outstanding your talent is, no matter how appreciated, I am afraid that the leader will have to endure the pain and cut his love.

Wu Yan fell silent. Wu Yi continued to exonerate her: In all fairness, this matter is not aimed at you, and there is nothing inappropriate about it. You can only blame heaven for making people. Also, don't forget that you are a Lich Clan, and there is only one goal that the Lich Clan needs to fight for all their lives, and that is to level the Inn and attack the Fengfu Jade Gate, not to turn against the clan for an enemy.

Wu Yan finally listened to Wu Yi's advice, did not question the leader and the great protector in the Hui clan, she never went to the grassland again, Xu Guan was gone, and there was no point in finding a place to live in seclusion. She accepted Xu Guan's death overnight, adjusted her mentality, and re-entered the battlefield.

After the war, because of her outstanding performance and outstanding achievements, she was recommended by Wu Yi, and she was expected to become the fourth protector.
