Chapter 5 Where the Demon Fox Escaped Chapter 3 Looking for the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon

The four of them stayed in this B&B that night, and the proprietress was very happy to tell them those grotesque stories of the country, and the four of them listened to it with relish, although almost all of them relied on the translation of the donkey, but it felt that it did not affect their communication.

That night, the four of them lay on the comfortable tatami mats, chatting about the grotesqueness of Yiguo, and Huai Xun was most interested in the night walk of the hundred ghosts: "Xiaoxuan, you say, where are there so many demons and monsters in Japan? Are these monsters in their mouths the same as us, in fact, they are all descendants of the gods?"

"I haven't studied this too much...... However, it is said that their youkai and ours are two completely different concepts. Many monsters are through the likeness of human beings, and the product of concretization...... "I don't quite understand.,The monster system of the country.。

"Stinky girl, stinky girl......" Kong Li whispered Huai Xun.

"What are you doing?" asked him impatiently.

"Shhh......hh Look!" Kong Li pointed out the window.

Following the direction of Kong Li's finger, a white glowing figure suddenly disappeared into the night.

"Isn't this the girl the proprietress said would glow?" Kaoru sat up and ran to the window.

The glowing figure disappeared so completely that there was not even a trace left.

"Sunset, Sunset, use your senses!" Huai Xun ran to Yi Xixing's side and patted him vigorously.

"Okay, okay, stop shooting, I know! Yi Xixing bit his finger, smeared blood on his eyelids, and began to feel if there was a similar breath around him......

“...... Right in the direction of the window...... There was a little girl running away...... It seems to have ears and a fox tail......" Yi Xixing felt it while reporting the situation to Huai Xun and them.

"That's right! I'm sure this is the one who saved the boss back then...... That ......" Kaoru didn't think of any adjectives to say for a long time, "Then let's hurry up and chase after us, shall we?" Kaoru was ready to put on his clothes and set off.

"Don't worry...... The breath was gone. Probably hiding. Or do you open the enchantment and don't want me to find out?" Yi Xixing wiped the blood from his eyelids and opened his eyes.

"Brother Yi, listen to Huai Xun this time. Let's go now. I'm afraid that tomorrow there will be a lot of people, and this little creature will not appear. Kong Li thought for a moment and decided to go find the little creature that could glow now.

"Let's go!"

The four of them didn't say a word, got dressed, said hello to the proprietress and set off to find the luminous body they had just seen.

The hostess kindly brought them rice balls, flashlights, and hot water bottles. He also told them to pay more attention to safety, the sea of trees in the middle of the night is very dangerous, and they must protect themselves.

After the four people thanked the proprietress and headed for the sea of trees.

As soon as he stepped into the sea of trees, Kaoru felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't say that something was wrong there, it was just very uncomfortable.

Looking at the other three people, it seemed to be something different from usual, and she didn't take it to heart......

The moonlight was blocked by dense foliage, the sea of trees was pitch black, and the occasional owl cooing could be heard. Beneath your feet are intricate tree roots, and if you don't pay attention, you'll stumble.

Kong Li walked in the front, the flashlight would shine on the top, on the feet, and on the back to tell the people behind to pay attention to safety.

Kaoru Kaoru took a flashlight and shone around, trying to see if there were any monsters appearing, but nothing else appeared except for the tree, which was still a tree.

The further they went into the depths of the sea of trees, the bigger the fog became, at first it was just some mist hovering under their feet, and the further they went, the higher the fog rose, but Huai Xun didn't notice the change in the fog, and still walked boldly inside......

"Hey, don't go any further! There's an abyss ahead!" a soft voice sounded behind them.

The four of them stood firm and turned to look behind them.

A glowing pure white little fox appeared in front of them!

"It's good that I reminded you in time, otherwise you wouldn't know how you died if you took two steps forward. These words came out of the little fox's mouth easily, but when Kong Li heard it, he was very afraid.

He turned around again and shone a flashlight under his feet, but no, let alone two steps forward, half a step forward, there was a bottomless pit. Above the crater was a thick fog, and the light of the flashlight could not be found.

Kong Li shuddered: "Thank you for saving your life!"

"You're welcome...... "The little fox changed back into human form, a cute girl of 8 or 9 years old, and continued, "You are not ordinary people, are you?"

"You are really the little girl who saved the boss lady back then!" said Huai Xun excitedly.

"yes, that's me......! I don't dare show up now......" sighed the glowing little girl.

"You...... No...... It's the nine-tailed demon fox we're looking for, right?" Huai Xun and Kong Li circled around the glowing girl twice.

"Probably? or probably not?" replied the glowing girl ambiguously, "You guys go with me to a safe place first, let's talk slowly!"

Sometimes the glowing girl walks on the road, sometimes floats in the air, and sometimes circles around the four people like a ghost.

She was also very excited after seeing these four people, but she didn't know why she was excited.

Kong Li and Huai Xun followed the glowing girl to a huge stone, and the glowing girl burrowed into the stone: "Here, here." ”

"This is a rock, right? Can we get in?" Kong Li was a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, you'll know when you come in!" The girl's whole body sank in.

"Fear, look at me!" Kaoru learned from the girl's appearance and stepped directly into the stone.

The other three people followed Huai Xun and entered the stone together.

The inside of the stone is a pure white open space, with a large white fox lying in the center. At this time, the glowing girl was gone......

"Welcome to the inside of the Killing Stone, I am the nine-tailed demon fox you are looking for. The white fox spoke.

"Huh??Are you the nine-tailed demon fox?...... Where's the glowing girl?" Kaoru quickly looked around the space, but didn't find the girl.

"That's my doppelganger...... After the battle with the Onmyoji, I was trapped here. I had to release the clone to find a way to restore my original form. But a doppelganger is a doppelganger after all, and it can't last long......" The nine-tailed demon fox said helplessly.

"Onmyoji War......" Kaoru thought of the scene he had seen when he traveled back before, "You were so good to the little human girl, and you saved her...... Why did you have to fight the human race? So many people died in that war. Isn't your heart aching?"

"Hey...... Back then, I was murdered by a traitor...... At that time, I was already delirious......" The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox said in a tone of repentance.

"Forget it, the events of the year are in the past. We are here today to send you back to Nuwa Niangniang. Kaoru took out the double spiral key.

"Don't talk about going back to Nuwa Niangniang like this, I can't even break the barrier that trapped me......" The nine-tailed demon fox shook his head, "You see I only have one tail left now......"

The nine-tailed demon fox stretched out his only remaining tail and shook it in the air: "Hey, I'm not used to it, it turns out that the nine tails are waving together, it's spectacular." But now...... Hey......"

There is no need for the nine-tailed fox demon to say, Huai Xun and they have seen the power of her nine tails waving together, and that scene is by no means spectacular!

"Then where are all your eight tails hidden, can you give us some clues?" asked Kaoru as she asked the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Well......" the nine-tailed demon fox thought for a moment, "Actually, I don't know. When they suppressed me, they cut off eight of my tails, and then sealed me in this stone......

However, they didn't know that the tail they left me had the ability to possess me. Before they could seal me away completely, the tail was attached to an abandoned baby in the forest...... So I don't know where the other 8 tails went. At this time, from behind the nine-tailed demon fox, the glowing girl just now came out.

"No wonder...... Where else did I go with this girl? It's your tail. Huai Xun suddenly realized.

"Then since you don't know the whereabouts of those 8 tails, and we are not familiar with the people of Iraq, we don't know even more. Yi Xixing said that they had no choice.

"Although the exact location is not clear, there are still some clues. My 9 tails are my nine abilities, 3 of which are used to open and break barriers, one that can emit poisonous gas, one that allows me to transform into a human form, and one that allows me to breathe underwater.

The other two, one is my weapon, this tail is extremely hard, harder than any weapon on earth, and the last one is predictable...... "This will be replaced by a glowing girl to talk to them."

"Oh?" said a few people with question marks on their faces.

"I heard tourists chatting back and forth, and they all said that there are places to worship fox fairies in all parts of the country. You just have to go there, and there may be clues. That's all I can give you, and if I could do it casually, I wouldn't have asked you for help. The glowing girl said helplessly, "By the way, there is one more thing, you must promise me!"

"What's the matter?" asked Kaoru.

"Don't tell the proprietress that you saw me when you go back!" the nine-tailed demon fox said affirmatively.

"Why didn't you say that, didn't you save her?"

"It's because I saved her that I don't want her to risk seeing me. It's a remote place...... If she comes, she'll get lost. Countless people die in the sea of trees every year because they get lost...... So I don't want her to risk it just to come and thank me. The nine-tailed demon fox explained to Huai Xun.

"Okay, by the way, can you drip a drop of blood on this key?" Kaoru pulled out the key, "I think it would be helpful to find your tail if your blood was recorded." ”

"Yes...... the nine-tailed demon fox used her big fangs to scratch her flesh pad, dripping a few drops of blood on the key.

After the key received the blood, it glowed with a faint yellow light, and it seemed that the information of the nine-tailed demon fox had been recorded.

"Alright, I'll let my doppelganger send you back. When you find my 8 tails, I'll go with you!"

The glowing little girl took Kaoru and them back to the main road of the sea of trees, and by this time the sky was already glowing with white light. Turns out they've been in the enchantment for the night.

"Okay, I'm going back, and then I'm going to trouble you to look for clues in the country. With that, the glowing little girl floated into the depths of the forest.

"I know one of the places where fox fairies are enshrined! Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine! It is a shrine that is famous all over the world. With his years of research on Iraq, the first thing that came to mind was here.
