Behind the slate is actually a space like a hanging shack, and I can climb past me and jump to another side of the wall without having to cross a meter of distance.

It happened to be the place where I met Su Zixuan, and the hole that I had blown out in the wall of the underground palace was still open there, quietly waiting for our return.

Or rather, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net.

Everything in the dungeon is the same, including the corpse that has not dried up with iron love and blood, it is still in place, just like the old residence of the departed person, everything is extremely familiar, but the people who come back do not have the feelings of returning to the old place, only the horror that cannot be suppressed.

I gestured to Xia Qingqing and the others, and I walked into the secret passage first. The boulders that had fallen in the secret passage have all been opened, and the road is unimpeded, as if waiting for us to return to the secret room.

The chamber was still full of hidden weapons, but the pool had become as clear as it had been when we first entered it.

I turned my head to look at Su Zimo, who nodded slightly: "It's the smell here." ”

I stared at the pool for a moment, waved my hand and motioned for Xia Qingqing and the three of them to step back, and I pulled out my dagger and slit my wrist, dripping blood into the water. Blood dripped into the water, and white smoke rose from the pool again.

A short time later, a large number of blisters tumbled out of the pool, and layers of mist rose with them.

In a few moments, the bloody pool suddenly cracked in front of my eyes, and a figure slowly rose in the center of the wave.

That's me!

I gasped.

The man who stood up from the pool was exactly like me from head to toe, except that he didn't know an inch.

Xia Qingqing, when Su Zimo looked at me in shock, the person who stood up from the water also spoke: "Don't be nervous, I'm not you, and I don't have any malicious intent, I will come out, just to tell you something." ”

While the other party was talking, he sat cross-legged in the water, covering his vital point with the blood-stained pool water.

Can she float on the water? How high is the other party's skill?

I took two steps forward in a slight shock to see that the other person was actually sitting on a platform rising from the pool.

The other party smiled: "I said, you don't have to be nervous." In fact, I don't have the power to hurt you. ”

Only then did I notice that the muscles on the other party's body were not strong, at least she couldn't burst out with the same strength as me.

I also sat down cross-legged on the edge of the pool: "What do you call a friend?"

The other party thought for a while and said, "You just call me Little Nine-Tails! At least, the body has always called me like this." ”

"Are you a nine-tailed fox?" I couldn't help but frown.

"Not all!" said the little nine-tails, "A long time ago, the main body has been living on that mountain. Do not come into contact with anyone. Later, as painted on the mural outside, she accepted the kindness of the inhabitants and became the patron saint of the place. Guarding them to live and work in peace. ”

"The body is not immortal, there will always be a time when life runs out. There is only one nine-tailed fox in the world, and it is impossible for the body to reproduce like other creatures. However, she can reproduce one of herself again. Exactly the same self. You understand what I mean?"

"I understand!" the first thought that crossed my mind was the current cloning technology.

Unexpectedly, the little nine-tails actually captured the thought in my mind in an instant: "I didn't expect that the ability of human beings has reached this level." He actually touched the edge of the Nine-Tails Resurrection Secret Technique. ”

I frowned slightly, and Little Nine-Tails quickly explained: "I didn't mean to peep into your thoughts, I'm just used to it, don't mind!"

"Hmm!" I nodded noncommittally, and Little Nine-Tails quickly diverted the topic.

"In the beginning, no one knew this secret of the ontology. However, after a long time, someone finally discovered that the body could be reborn. And so, a very old-fashioned story began. You humans call it 'Grace and Revenge'. ”

"As depicted in the frescoes, they marched against the temple. At that time, the main body was the only one in the temple, and although she defeated the rebels, she was also seriously wounded. After the victory, she made a very wrong decision, instead of killing all the traitors, she sent them to the Forgotten Lands, making them forget everything. ”

The main body spared the rebels, but on a whim, in order to avoid weakness when she was reborn, she used herself to copy into two clones. One is me, and the other is the former Nine-Tails. ”

Little Nine-Tails explained: "Because the former Nine-Tails were born a few days earlier than me, that's why the ontology calls it the Former Nine-Tails. After the main body copied the two of us, it returned to the Forgotten Lands and handed over the fox hall to us. Let's take care of the tribes outside. ”

Xiao Jiuwei paused for a moment before saying, "Because the two of us each have a part of the memory of the body, we also know a lot about the betrayal she suffered back then. ”

"The former Nine-Tails have always been angry about the betrayal of those people, and it always feels that if it is not its own race, it will betray itself sooner or later. In your words, it should be, 'If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different,' right?"

"However, the two of us are not ontologies, and there is no way to replicate ourselves on a large scale. So the former nine tails have been thinking of ways to let people have their own bloodline. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be shocked: "The first nine tails are Qingqiu foxes, and you are Tushan foxes?"

"Huh?" Little Nine-Tails was still apologizing to me a moment ago, and now he couldn't help but invade my mind: "Oh, I see, it seems that the first Nine-Tails succeeded." She should be the Qingqiu fox you said. She did inherit many of the advantages of the ontology, especially the charm of the ontology. ”

I frowned and said, "You don't know that she created the Qingqiu Ancient Kingdom?"

"I don't know!" Tu Shanhu shook his head and said, "The two of us had a disagreement a long time ago on the issue of descendants. We were looking for the ontology to judge us, but the ontology avoided us. Later, we simply left the fox hall. Before we left, we agreed that we would each guard the Fox Hall for an era. After an era, it rotates. It can be regarded as an explanation of the ontology. ”

I said in a deep voice, "How do you calculate the so-called era? Is it according to the way of your fox clan, or according to the way of humans?"

Tu Shanhu smiled: "Of course it's the human way. The Nine-Tails are equal to having an infinite life, so why should we spend energy calculating time?"

"Era, era......" I recited twice in a row before saying, "Your so-called era should be the dynasty of mankind, right?"

"Oh, yes!" Tu Shanhu nodded: "It should be a dynasty, your so-called era is too long." Hmmm......"

Tu Shanhu hesitated for a moment and said, "This statement is not very accurate. Qingqiu's division of the times between me and me is more blurred than that of you humans. Let's put it this way! Take the Xia Dynasty as an example, from the founding of Xia Qi to the fall of Xia Ji, it was my time. After Xia's death, it was her time to go to Shangtang to establish the country. I say that, do you understand?"

I roughly understood what she meant: every change of dynasty in history is not a handful, and there may be years, decades, or even decades of strife in between. The two nine-tailed foxes are using the alternation of dynasties to determine time.

For example, the Shang Dynasty Xia and the Zhou Dynasty Shang did not experience any era of division of princes in the middle, so naturally Tu Shanhu took advantage. However, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Three Kingdoms Period, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were the long-term period of division and separation, which was the world of Qingqiu Fox.

I suddenly thought of a question, and my face couldn't help but sink slightly: "Then which of you comes first and who comes last?"

Tu Shan Fox said: "The person who occupies the Fox Hall first is the Qingqiu Fox. And after I met King Yu, I went around. ”

My eyes couldn't help but narrow: "Then how did you get back to the Fox Palace?"

Tu Shanhu said: "I found that the era belonging to the Xia Dynasty came back when it was over." But I found that the original inhabitants of the Nakshatra Sea were gone, and only a thousand black fox guards and a temple full of institutions remained. ”

Tu Shanhu snorted coldly: "That guy in Qingqiu has always liked to engage in these small actions, even if he is leaving, he has to leave me in trouble." I certainly can't afford to cheapen her, and the only thing I do in the temple is to keep causing trouble for her. ”

"Because we each built our own organs, there will be many mechanisms in the Fox Palace. ”

"No wonder, there are so many contradictions in the Fox Hall organ. "I've finally figured out why the Fox Palace's organs are upside down and messy.

If the mechanism here is not the handiwork of two people, how can there be so many contradictions. It's like the bathroom, daily use, killing moves, vitality, and pregnancy monsters are all put together, which is a taboo for arranging mechanisms, but it is not surprising that the handwriting of two people from different periods is not surprising. They were already calculating with each other.

When I thought of this, a thought couldn't help but pop up in my head, and I couldn't help frowning: "The Four Great Enchantresses, does it have anything to do with you?"

"Of course it matters!" Tu Shanhu said bluntly: "Qingqiu has to have some small means in order to let me come back early. ”

I said, "How long has she used these methods?"

"Probably before the Han Dynasty, right?" Tu Shanhu said: "The last person she sent out is called Zhao Feiyan." ”

The Han Dynasty did not die because of women, at least it is not recorded in the history books, that is to say, the demise of the Han Dynasty has nothing to do with the fox clan. Zhao Feiyan's final ending was to be demoted to a concubine, and she disappeared.

Half of the chaos of the eternal red face came from the fox clan, and half came from that mysterious organization.

The fox clan will not leave their descendants in the world, and that mysterious organization is constantly plundering the "perfect human", which is the reason why many stunning faces have disappeared.

Tu Shanhu smiled slightly: "I know, what are you thinking? Are you wondering if the eternal red face is related to the fox clan? Let's put it this way! The four demon queens should all come from Qingqiu." I was not interested in approaching humans, and occasionally letting them do was to make them worship me as a god. ”
