Chapter 16: Breaking the tail and saving oneself
Qingyang didn't realize it, he raised his sword again and stabbed at Bai Ying, just after the sword body penetrated the black and slimy fox body, the fox's appearance changed, he gradually shrunk, and finally, what remained in the formation was a tail that was burned beyond recognition.
Qingyang was stunned, Yun Xuzi looked in the direction where Su Ning flew away, and he sighed angrily:
"This cunning monster!"
Qingyang didn't understand yet, he looked blankly at the scorched fox tail on his sword. Yun Xuzi told it:
"The monster took one of its tails into his form, and his true body into another, and it escaped from the circle while it entangled the boy, and now it is estimated that it has run away. ”
Qingyang suddenly realized, he shook off the burnt tail, gritted his teeth and said, "It's really hateful!"
"Forget it. Yun Xuozi put away the Xiaoyao fan and said: "He broke his tail to save himself, his spiritual power must be hit hard, and it is estimated that he will not be able to do evil for a while." ”
Qingyang also put away the peachwood sword and left with Yun Xuzi.
Speaking of Su Ning's side, after she was entangled by the tail of the white shadow and flew out, the tail suddenly made the sound of a white shadow:
"Sky Dance!"
Su Ning was surprised and delighted, she immediately twisted the trick and recited the spell, used the air dance technique, and flew all the way. The tail also turned back into a fox white shadow at this time, and Su Ning carried him through the woods quickly, flying for half an hour before he stopped because his spiritual power was exhausted.
Su Ning fell to the ground, her lips were white, her head was covered with cold sweat, she had never tried to be so tired, so tired that she couldn't even lift a finger, she could only lie on the pile of dead leaves and gasp.
The White Shadow crouched down beside her at this point, pitifully clutching its severed tail.
"Alas...... Another broken ......" it blew on the two broken tails in self-pity.
Su Ning turned her head to look at it with great difficulty, and Bai Ying patted her head with her paws and said, "You are tired, let's rest first, fly for half an hour in one breath, even I will be tired, you are really amazing." ”
"Your ...... Tail ......" Su Ning panted and said an incomplete sentence.
The White Shadow knew what she wanted to ask, and it explained it to her in detail:
"I am a nine-tailed fox fairy clan, our people have nine tails since birth, the tail is our lifeline, we will combine the tail into one on weekdays, the tail will be broken, our spiritual power will be reduced to a level, and the body will also suffer huge trauma, if the nine tails are broken, we will have no skills. ”
The white shadow looked at the white sky, and it said leisurely: "We are now friends of life and death, and I won't hide it from you, in fact, I was really a bad person in the past...... Bad fox, I rely on my own magic and cleverness, play the world all day long, and take pleasure in harming people, huh...... I helped some mountain spirits to lure some money-loving and lustful people into their caves, and then watched the humans tortured to death, and drank with their blood, or made them dance barefoot on the hot iron plates, or stripped their skins...... Well, it's cruel anyway, because many humans are unkind to the fox people, and I use this as an excuse to take revenge on their kind, and I laugh when I see them being tortured, and I laugh and laugh at it. I haven't killed many people with my own hands, but countless people have died because of me. ”
Su Ning's face turned even paler when she heard this, and Bai Ying smiled bitterly: "I did so many evil things, and later, I finally got into a fight, I was subdued by a mage named 'Master Zhenyuan', Master Zhenyuan is a great monk, he has mercy on all sentient beings, although I have done so much evil and it is not a pity to die, he did not kill me, he suppressed me in the 'Eightfold Lock Demon Tower' of the 'Baoling Temple', let me reflect in the tower, and repent for those beings who have been mutilated by me." The master asked me how many people I had killed, and I racked my brains for three days and three nights, and told him that there were about 400 people who could remember, so the master asked me to stay in the tower for four hundred years. He often came to me to recite the Dharma and teach me all kinds of sutras, just to lead me to the right path. The master passed away more than 100 years ago, after he passed away, the new abbot of Baoling Temple, 'Master Zhihai', will occasionally send the master to speak for me, I was pressed in the tower for more than 300 years, and finally they were still moved, I decided to change the past, no more evil. I could have left after 400 years in prison, but ...... Tu Shan sent an urgent report at this time. ”
Su Ning had regained a little strength at this time, and she sat up and listened intently.
Bai Ying said: "Tu Shan sent a flying pigeon messenger, it desperately broke into the eightfold lock demon tower, handed over my eldest brother's edict to me, the eldest brother said, Tu Shan is about to face a catastrophe, let me find a way to escape from the lock demon tower, come back and live and die with the clansmen." The pigeon messenger died in front of me covered in blood, and I knew that I must not be a greedy person for life and fear death, so I sacrificed a tail and escaped from the Lock Demon Tower, I felt very guilty for not being able to fulfill my promise to Master Zhenyuan...... But there is no way, Tu Shan is in trouble, I can't sit idly by and make a living. ”
Su Ning saw it stop, she thought for a moment before she spoke cautiously: "Senior, what calamity is Tu Shan going to face? Can you tell me......
Bai Ying said: "I am not convenient to disclose at the moment, in short, that calamity has not yet come, after you and I go back, I will help you settle down, and I will never let you be involved in the calamity." ”
Su Ning hurriedly said: "Senior, I'm not afraid of being implicated, you are my life-saving benefactor, I should repay your kindness, if there is a place that can use me, I will definitely help!"
Bai Ying smiled: "Su Ning, you are not from my clan, this matter should not implicate you, your care and assistance to me along the way is already enough to repay my kindness to you." ”
Su Ning shook her head, and she said guiltily, "I can't help your predecessor at all...... I'm still too weak...... You've broken another tail this time, and if I were a little stronger, you wouldn't have been hurt......"
Su Ning hated her own incompetence again, why was she a burden to others every time, and what could she do so that she could be strong enough to protect the people around her?
Spiritual ...... She wished her spiritual power could be stronger. She clenched her weak fist, and the white shadow patted her shoulder with his paws, and said:
"Okay, don't blame yourself, you've done your best, if it weren't for you this time, I might not be able to escape. Let's not mention these things for now, it's dawn, let's see if there are any towns nearby, we need to find a place to rest, I'm injured, and you're exhausted. ”
"Okay, senior......" Su Ning stood up with the trunk of the tree, and she asked again: "Senior...... Our money and belongings have fallen in the mountains, and I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in a hotel, so why don't we rest on the spot?"
"Not necessarily. The White Shadow commanded, "Go and help me pick up some finger-sized stones." ”
"Yes. Su Ning picked up a handful of stones nearby, and the white shadow twisted a spell on those stones, and the stones suddenly shone brightly in Su Ning's hand, and instantly turned into a handful of white flowers.
The first time Su Ning saw it turn into money, her jaw dropped. Only then did she understand why Bai Ying arrogantly said that she had a lot of money. She stammered and asked:
"Forward, forward, forward...... Predecessor...... The money before that...... All...... Is that how it all came about......"
"yes. Bai Ying said in a dragging manner: "This is one of the magic weapons that I have used to win in the rivers and lakes, turning stones into gold! Oh, no, it is turning stones into silver!"
Su Ning was speechless, she felt infinitely guilty when she thought of the shops that sold things to herself.
Bai Ying said proudly again: "My blinding technique is very good, it can last for at least two days, so don't worry, I won't wear it." Those two fools who robbed us of our silver, that pile of money was changed the day before yesterday, calculate the time, it will soon turn into stone in their hands, hehe~~ It's best to them off to death~~"
Bai Ying still can't change his nature of liking pranks, but if it knows that Yun Xuzi's master and apprentice were attracted by his own tricks, I'm afraid it will regret it. It's not worth losing a tail to play tricks on people.
Su Ning didn't want to deceive people, but now there was nothing she could do, so she had to look for the town with the white shadow on her back nervously.
Su Ning apologized to the shopkeepers who had been deceived by herself, and thought that when she had money in the future, she would have to make up for them.
