The woman smiled leisurely, "You should believe now that your companion can't save you, do you?"

"Hate!" I simply sat down cross-legged, "but I don't hate her!"

"Hate, but don't hate her?" the woman said softly, "this is the second time I've heard that." First ......"

The woman clapped her palms lightly between talking to herself, and the illusion in front of me suddenly dissipated, and I also saw Xia Qingli in the distance.

She stood not far from me, her back to the illusion, one foot taking a step that looked like she was about to drift away.

The woman asked again, "Are you disappointed that your companion didn't save you?"

I pointed to Xia Qingqing's palm and said: "Her hand is still pressing the hilt of the sword, although the person who escapes may also hold down the weapon, but he will never raise his head with his chest straight, Xia Qingqing is going to walk over and crack the illusion." It's just that he didn't make it to the place. ”

I simply lowered my arm and looked at the woman calmly: "I lost!"

"No, you won!" the woman raised her thumb and said, "You gave Xia Qingqing what she wanted the most - trust." You don't have to worry about Xia Qingqing, she is receiving the inheritance of the fox clan. We'll be back to our senses soon, how about we two talk?"

"More than willingly!" As soon as I opened my mouth, the scene around me changed into a tea room, and the woman across from me was still shrouded in hazy smoke, but she was slowly boiling tea in front of me at one time.

The woman didn't say a word to me while making tea. I was also quietly admiring each other's movements, completely forgetting that I was still in a fantasy world, maybe this is the charm of the fox people, they can give people peace.

The woman picked up the teacup and sniffed it lightly before saying, "I haven't had tea for a long time." I can make everything with illusions, and I can even confuse myself. However, my mind will be reduced by one point once I use it, and I have not dared to taste the taste of clear tea for hundreds of years, and now that I am leaving, I should have a luxury, right?"

I frowned slightly and said, "Are you a ghost?"

"Haha......" the woman laughed, "there are no ghosts in this world, at least not in my opinion." Those so-called ghosts are just some kind of thoughts left in the world by people with super mental power. Those thoughts are like candles, and sooner or later they will burn out, which is what you often call ashes. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

I nodded, "I understand, I've had shamans." My eldest brother once told me that shamanic secrets are human willpower. ”

"Hmm!" the woman nodded, "Shamans are truly remarkable beings. ”

I asked, "Are you a fox?"

"Yes, I'm a fox, a real fox. The woman said word for word, "But I'm not a vixen." The fox clan is also a human being, and the fox is our totem, not our prototype. ”

I couldn't help but be shocked: "You mean, the fox clan is a natural human race with super spiritual power?"

"You can say that!" the woman nodded, "We take the fox as our ancestor, and we also take the fox as our name, you can call me the green fox." ”

I couldn't help frowning, according to the green fox, they worship totems like many peoples. But where did the legend of the vixen come from?

The green fox said, "How much do you know about the fox spirit?"

I was silent for a moment before I said, "As far as I know, before the Han and Tang Dynasties, the fox had always been regarded as a holy beast, and it could even be compared to the four elephants. It was not until the Han and Tang dynasties that the fox was also regarded as a rui beast, and after the Song Dynasty, the status of the fox took a sharp turn and became a monster specializing in cholera. After "Romance of the Gods", the fox spirit has become synonymous with calamity to the country and the people, and to seduce men. That's all I know. ”

"You're right!" the green fox nodded, "The fox clan was wiped out in the Song Dynasty. After that, under the arrangement of well-intentioned people, the reputation of the fox clan became stinky. ”

The green fox asked rhetorically, "Is there still a fox clan out there now?"

"Yes!" I said bluntly: "I came to the Xingtian Forbidden Zone just to settle accounts with the fox clan. ”

I didn't plan to tell my true purpose of entering the Forbidden Zone, but when I sat in front of the green fox, I couldn't hide the other party's thoughts at all, and told everything I knew.

Qinghu snorted coldly: "Those people are also worthy of being called the fox clan, a group of puppets." ”

My eyes widened, "You're saying that I'm not really a fox clan?"

The green fox said: "The real fox clan has long since perished. This is where the bones of the fox and the three-eyed clan are buried. ”

"The fox clan and the three-eyed clan were once prosperous, we have the power to fear, but we have no intention of competing with the world, we have been hiding in the mountains and rivers, living in isolation. At that time, he and the fox clan and the three-eyed clan knew each other's existence, but they never intersected. ”

"Until one day, our two clans had a conflict because of a grievance, and then this conflict began to become more and more intense, until we were all involved, and we both lost and returned to our ancestral land to recuperate. ”

Qinghu paused slightly at this time: "The fox clan has a very strong premonition of danger, at that time. The elders of the clan may have foreseen that the fox clan would experience a catastrophe, and quickly dismissed a large number of young disciples and told them not to enter the ancestral land again. ”

"After a lot, those fox clan disciples who were dismissed finally couldn't help but walk back to their ancestral land. All they saw was ruins. ”

Qinghu said in a deep voice: "The ancestral land of the fox clan was not only destroyed, but the fox clan that stayed in the ancestral land back then is also nowhere to be found. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but interrupt: "Since you said that those demobilized fox clans only returned to the ancestral land after many years, then how would they know that the people who stayed in the ancestral land back then were missing?"

"That's a good question!" the green fox praised me before saying, "The fox clan will not let the bones of the clansmen wander outside, no matter what method is used, they will bring the bones of the clansmen back to the ancestral land for burial." ”

"Later, the ancestors of the fox tribe who returned to their ancestral land saw that the fox cemetery had been forcibly excavated, and all the corpses had disappeared. It was through this point that the ancestors deduced that the tribesmen who stayed behind that year were either all killed or all captured. ”

I frowned slightly, "You thought of the Three-Eyed Clan?"

"That's right!" Qinghu nodded: "The first thing that the ancestor thought of was the Three-Eyed Clan, but when the ancestor led the Fox Clan to rush into the ancestral land of the Three-Eyed Clan, he found that there were also people there. ”

"Silk-" I couldn't help but gasp, "You mean to say that someone destroyed the Three-Eyed Clan and the Fox Clan at the same time?"

"It's not destruction, it's capture!" Green Fox sighed, "But at that time, the ancestor of the fox clan didn't know that the captive clan was not the Three-Eyed Clan. And the Three-Eyed Clan also suffered the same thing, and our two clans misunderstood each other almost at the same time, and as a result, a hundred years of slaughter began. ”

"That big battle ended with the victory of the fox clan, but the fox clan also paid a heavy price. The last of the Three-Eyed Clan was forced to retreat into a secret realm, and the patriarch of the Fox Clan at that time also made a decision that she would regret for the rest of her life, that is, to return to the ancestral land of Qingqiu and open the Fox Clan's underground palace. ”

When I heard this, I suddenly interrupted the other party: "What you said about the Three-Eyed Clan's retreat into the secret realm, do you mean the secret realm of the Guanjiang estuary?" ”

"That's right!" Qinghu nodded, "Although the patriarch at that time roughly guessed the whereabouts of the Three-Eyed Clan, he did not continue to chase and kill. Because...... Forget it, it's better not to talk about those things. ”

Qinghu doesn't say it, I can also guess a rough idea, the woman spelled out by the stone bars in the secret realm of Guanjiangkou should be the patriarch of the fox clan at that time.

In the battle between the two clans, the fox clan won, but there was probably no real winner in the confrontation between them.

Qinghu continued: "Not long after the fox clan returned to their ancestral land, it was the time when they really encountered the catastrophe. At that time, the patriarch of the fox clan suddenly received the news that the entire three-eyed clan had been wiped out and the three-eyed patriarch had been plundered, so he suddenly woke up. It turns out that the secrets that the Three-Eyed Patriarch said are true. She immediately led the fox clan out of the nest to rescue the Three-Eyed Patriarch. However, we were ambushed by the other side, and the fox clan was completely annihilated. ”

The green fox took a deep breath and said, "Most of our fox clan did not die in battle, but were captured in this forbidden area. After we entered the secret realm, we learned that the original Three-Eyed Clan had also been captured in the secret realm. ”

"What grievances between the two races, what love and hatred, all are fake. That's just someone secretly manipulating behind it. All they want is to uproot our two tribes. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be shocked: I have never encountered the Three-Eyed Clan, but I have learned the wisdom of the Fox Clan. Those who laid out the layout could destroy the fox clan, which shows their calculation and strength.

The green fox couldn't help laughing at himself: "It's ridiculous that our fox clan is known for being resourceful, and the three-eyed clan prides itself on being thorough, but it is being played around." ”

"How much has it cost us to fight for a hundred years?"

"Today, the Three-Eyed Clan is mixed with the Confucian scholars and devalues the Fox Clan as worthless, and tomorrow the Fox Clan will rack their brains to make the descendants of the Three-Eyed Clan ruined. Isn't it funny that the fox spirit comes from the hand of the Three-Eyed Clan, and the negative reader comes from the pen of the Fox Clan?"

I could clearly see the bitter smile of the green fox, but I couldn't answer her question, because I didn't feel funny at all, but felt an inexplicable sadness for the two of them.

Qinghu said to himself: "Our two clans are like wayward children, if you punch me, I must kick you back, and no one stopped to think carefully about the source of the conflict." ”

At that time, the two patriarchs were the ones who were most likely to understand the grievances between the two clans, and they also had countless opportunities for the two clans to shake hands and make peace, and even join forces to find out who was behind the scenes. However, they have lost their opportunities again and again. ”

Qinghu suddenly stopped when he said this: "Is it as smart as you can guess the reason? I want to hear you tell the truth." ”
