No wonder there are inconsistencies in the myths and legends about the nine-tailed fox.

The nine-tails were born, the country is auspicious, and the world is peaceful - it is Tu Mountain Fox.

The nine-tailed world, the world is in turmoil, and the lives are ruined - it's the Qingqiu fox.

Tu Mountain, the root of Qingqiu's appearance in turn will be here.

Tu Shanhu saw that I was silent, and couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that Qingqiu guy has caused so much trouble in the world!" It seems that the reputation of the fox clan has been ruined in its hands!"

I couldn't help but squint my eyes, and Tu Shanhu took advantage of my unpreparedness to probe my consciousness. But Tu Shanhu didn't feel anything wrong at all, and I had nothing to do with her, so I could only continue to ask: "After Zhao Feiyan, you have never fought again?"

"No!" Tu Shanhu shook his head and said, "It's not that we don't want to fight anymore, but we can't do it anymore." ”

"First, we have been fighting for thousands of years, and when our life is about to end, how can we have the heart to continue fighting? ”

"Second ......"

Tu Shanhu hesitated for a moment before saying: "The second point is a bit embarrassing to say, after the Han Dynasty, there was a group of people called the Divine Exploration Hand, and they have been fighting against the fox clan. We touched the Divine Hands a few times, and found that although the cultivation of those Divine Detectives was not high, they were very difficult. In addition, Qingqiu and I are already declining, so naturally I don't want to waste our efforts with them. ”

I couldn't help but say, "How powerful was the original Divine Exploration Hand?"

Tu Shanhu obviously had a bit of gold on his face. Foxes are one of the most vengeful animals, and if it weren't for their reluctance to reach out to God, they wouldn't have given up easily.

I smiled a little at Tu Shanhu, but the other party's face sank slightly.

I saw that the other party wanted to turn his face, so I quickly changed the topic and said, "After you came in, you never went out again?"

"No!" Tu Shanhu shook his head and said, "Qingqiu and I have all fallen into a deep sleep, and no one has ever left the underground palace. Since then, quite a few people have come in, and many of them are descendants of Qingqiu. It's just that they haven't gone out since they came. ”

I saw the coldness in Tu Shanhu's eyes, and I couldn't help but ask, "You killed them?"

"Of course!" Tu Shanhu nodded: "If I don't kill them, I will be devoured by Qingqiu." I can only kill. ”

Tu Shanhu continued: "Actually, Qingqiu and I are not complete clones, we each have one-third of the body's abilities. Moreover, our abilities are constantly being depleted over time. If we want to become a complete replica, we can only choose to devour each other with the original. ”

"Qingqiu and I both wanted to devour each other, but we chose different routes. ”

Tu Shanhu Zhengse said: "Qingqiu's method is to create the Qingqiu Ancient Kingdom, disperse her own bloodline, even if I devour Qingqiu, she still has nearly two layers of bloodline flowing outside, if I don't devour them all, I will never be a complete replica." What's more, Qingqiu's descendants will continue to come to me for trouble. ”

Tu Shanhu said in a paused voice: "And what I choose is to preserve my bloodline to the greatest extent, so that I can always keep myself in the best state, and I can devour Qingqiu at any time." ”

It dawned on me, "I see!"

One of the last secrets of the Nine-Tailed Fox myth has also been revealed.

It is no wonder that one of the two nine-tailed foxes that appeared in mythology has always been active in various legends, and has even spread overseas. The other one suddenly disappeared and couldn't find the slightest clue.

It turned out that there were many descendants of the Qingqiu lineage, and they were constantly accumulating strength, ready to return to the ancestral land at any time to save the ancestors. It is precisely because the descendants of the Qingqiu lineage are constantly developing that they have left the legend of Qingqiu to the world.

Tushan fox has always been a loner, rarely appears in the eyes of the world, even the Tushan tribe that once worshipped the nine-tailed fox, let their totem flow in the long river of history, how can there be a legend of Tushan nine-tailed in the world?

While my mind was still flying, Tu Shanhu said again: "For so many years, every time I wake up, I will go out to inspect and change the mechanisms in the dungeon to ensure my peace. I originally thought that I would be a failure, but I didn't expect that the real failure would be Qingqiu. She even lost her own descendants. ”

I don't know how many times I have been disgusted from the bottom of my heart, Tu Shanhu has never given up infiltrating me, just for a while, she has seen me from the inside out. I don't have any secrets left in front of her.

I simply didn't bother with her anymore: "You don't just want to tell me the story of the Nine-Tails, do you?"

"Of course not!" Tu Shanhu shook his head and said, "There have been people who have entered the dungeon before, but at most there are only a few people, and they will not pose any threat to me." This time was different, this time I clearly sensed the danger. Very strong danger. ”

Tu Shanhu said with a serious expression: "I need someone to help me deal with Qingqiu, and even devour the body." You're the right person. ”

I stared into the other party's eyes and said, "Don't you see that the people who entered the dungeon this time are the weakest in terms of my strength? I am probably the first to be killed." ”

"No!" Tu Shanhu shook his head and said, "Your strength seems to be the weakest, but in fact, you are the strongest party." It's just that you don't know how to use your strength. ”

Tu Shanhu looked at me with a serious expression and said, "In a word, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

I looked at the other party with a smile and said nothing, and Tu Shanhu put away his previous smile: "I can promise that in the future, without your permission, I will never peep into the secrets of your heart." ”

Tu Shanhu said this sentence is equivalent to not saying it, she showed me inside and out before, and how could she have greeted me.

Tu Shanhu was silent for a moment before saying, "You mean you're going to exchange for an equivalent, right?"

This time, Tu Shanhu really didn't go to peek at my thoughts, because I didn't think about anything.

However, I also knew that Tu Shanhu was just trying to show me a kind of kindness.

Tu Shanhu said to himself: "As long as you help me devour the body, I can grant you any request if I can, but it is limited to three requests." What do you think?"

"Yes!" I nodded, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!

"Because your punishment is the only one that can hurt Qingqiu. Tu Shanhu said bluntly: "However, the damage that your punishment has brought to you is also huge. Judging from your current mental power, you can't hurt Qingqiu, let alone our essence. ”

Tu Shanhu paused: "However, with my help, you can completely create an opportunity for me by surprise, and what I want is this opportunity." ”

I nodded expressionlessly: "You go on!"

Until now, I have not fully believed in Tu Shanhu.

Her words are very different from those of the banshee in the cage, and I can't be sure who is real and who is not.

I remember someone told me that the highest level of deception speaks nine falsehoods and one truth, or nine truths and one falsehood. But now I can't figure out if Tu Shanhu's words are true?

I know that my cooperation with Tu Shanhu is really seeking the skin of the tiger. However, without cooperating with her, I didn't even have the slightest chance of winning, and I could only choose to go to Beaua with one in ten thousand hopes.

Tu Shanhu nodded with satisfaction and said, "I don't have anything to say anymore, the rest is for you to guarantee that no one will die until we find the body." ”

I raised my eyes and said, "You don't know where the body is?"

"I don't know!" Tu Shanhu said: "Neither Qingqiu nor I dare to approach the Forgotten Land easily, one-third of our strength is not enough for us to confront the main body." The two of us can't really join forces. So, no one has ever come close to the Forgotten Lands. ”

Tu Shanhu smiled bitterly: "The reason why we obediently took care of a group of people whose memories have been erased was not because we were afraid of the ontology? ”

I wondered, "What about the results of your temptation?"

Tu Shanhu Zhengse said: "The body is either asleep, or it has died of old age in the land of oblivion. I think the former is more likely. The ontological body will copy itself, so she is more likely to be alive. ”

My brow couldn't help but furrow, what was the purpose of the nine-tailed fox's body deliberately splitting into two clones? Could it be to maintain a triangular balance?

It shouldn't be like this! That doesn't mean anything to the badly injured nine-tailed fox.

Is it to allow the two clones to share their injuries, and then devour them back so that their injuries can recover in a short time?

That's all self-restraint, and the scheming Nine-Tailed Fox shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

I closed my eyes and pondered for a while, but I really couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, so I changed the topic and said, "You and Qingqiu won't copy themselves, so how can you copy me?"

"Haha......" Tu Shanhu laughed, waved his arm slightly, and the blood-red pool water under her became clear and translucent again. It was only then that I saw more than a dozen corpses lying under the pool. The corpses, though on all fours, had very blurred faces, which at first glance looked like kneaded dough.

Tu Shanhu pointed at himself: "I can use your blood to copy your appearance exactly what, but I can't copy your ability." I'm no different from an ordinary person now, that's why I need your protection. ”

I couldn't help but squint my eyes: The dignified mountain fox needs to be protected?
