"Huh, isn't this painting of our fox people?" the little fox's slightly surprised voice sounded in Hu Lin's head.

The little fox's voice made Hu Lin take a closer look at the bone plate. I saw that the beauty in the portrait was about thirty years old, with clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, and long eyelashes that added a lot of agility to those big smart eyes. The fair and flawless skin reveals a faint pink, the thin lips are as delicate as rose petals, and there is a nose carved like beautiful jade.

A long peach-colored hair, scattered over those rounded shoulders. A layer of pale pink tulle is draped on the body, making the beauty in the painting more fresh and refined. In short, after Hu Lin saw the beauties in the portrayal, he unconsciously had a heart-pounding feeling. Especially on the woman's forehead, the semicircular mark makes her even more delicate.

Hu Lin stared at the portrait for a long time, but he didn't see that the beauty in the painting had the slightest fox characteristics, so he replied suspiciously, "No, how can this portrait look like a Terran beauty, how can Mei'er say that it is a fox tribe?"

Seeing that Hu Lin didn't believe his words, Mei'er reminded, "Young Master, please look at the mark on her forehead......"

"Nothing special, just a red flower. If there's anything special, it's that this flower has nine petals. "As far as Hulin knows, it's rare in the world to have nine petals. What's more, the flower mark on this beauty's forehead, the petals on it are evenly distributed into a semicircle, and he has never even heard of such a peculiar flower.

"Young Master, take a closer look, those are not petals, but tails!"

"Tail?!" Hu Lin looked at it carefully, and sure enough, as Mei'er said, the semicircular mark was really composed of tails. And the nine petal-like tails are fox tails.

"Is the beauty in this painting a nine-tailed fox?" said Hu Lin in surprise.

Hu Lin is no stranger to the nine-tailed fox, as they are found in many legends. Needless to say, their beauty is self-evident, and legend has it that many heroes have become the subordinates of the nine-tailed fox. Of course, the nine-tailed fox is not only beautiful, but their strength is also a very strong existence even among the demon beast clan.

Seeing Hu Lin's surprised appearance, the little fox said with some pride, "That's right, the person in this painting is a nine-tailed fox." The strength of our fox clan is embodied in the number of tails. Ordinary one-tailed foxes can only maintain the form of foxes, and after reaching the second tail, they can transform into human form, but they will still have the characteristics of foxes to some extent. If you cultivate the ninth tail, you can completely transform into a human form. Except for the tail mark on the forehead, it is basically indistinguishable from a human. ”

"The beauty in this painting can't be the ancient lotus in the legend of your fox clan, right?"

Hearing Hu Lin's question, the little fox rubbed his chin and responded, "I don't know about this...... There are only legends about the Void Emperor and the peerless fox queen in the clan, but there is no trace of information about the peerless fox queen. Moreover, now the fox clan has not appeared for a long time, and the clansmen who have cultivated the nine-tails. Therefore, most of the people in the clan now only think that it is just an ethereal legend. ”

Hu Lin looked at the bone plate a few more times, and said thoughtfully, "After seeing the portrait, I don't think it's just a legend, at least this portrait proves that the nine-tailed fox really exists." Regardless of whether it is a Gu Lotus painted on it or not, I hope Mei'er can cultivate well, young master, I am looking forward to what you will look like after you become the Nine-Tails......" Although the woman in this portrait made Hu Lin's heart move, he was still looking forward to what the little fox would look like after becoming the Nine-Tails.

Mei'er knew that the last sentence Hu Lin said was sincere, and she was a little happy in her heart, so she responded, "Young Master, Mei'er will definitely work hard......!"

Seeing the apologetic look in the little fox's eyes, Hu Lin picked it up and said softly, "Don't worry...... I will do my best to help you. As long as you work hard, there is nothing in this world that cannot be done! Just like the evil power in my chest, I believe that I will solve it one day!"

Speaking of this, a trace of solemnity flashed on the faces of this man and beast, but it didn't last long. Then Hu Lin was attracted by the things on the ground, and just after he ran the "Void True Sutra", he recovered some strength, so he climbed out of bed and carefully counted it.

Finally, Hu Lin studied the ring on his hand, and he found that this Void Star Ring was a meson ring, and the space inside was much larger than the bracelet on his hand. Originally, that bracelet was obtained together with the "Mystery Technique" when he passed the test of the Demon Suppression Valley. Its name is the Xuanji Bracelet, which was originally used to store puppets, and at that time, Hu Lin had too many things on his back, so he put all his belongings into the Xuanji Bracelet.

Now that he has the meson ring of the Void Star Ring, Hu Lin has transferred all the items placed in the Xuanji Bracelet to the Void Star Ring. He looked at the things on the ground again, put away the boxes of gold coins, and then selected a few materials for making a puppet. Hu Lin left them lying on the ground, intending to hand them over to her when Yuan Jing returned, asking her to help exchange them for some materials and gold coins.

By the time the things were packed, it was already getting dark. Hu Lin went back to bed to rest, after all, he suffered a lot of mental torture last night, and he really needed to rest.

As the sun set, the aroma of food woke up Hu Lin from his sleep. When he sat up from the bed, Yuan Jing came in with dinner. On the wooden plate, there are several delicate side dishes, which are carefully prepared by Yuan Jing at a glance. After Hu Lin saw the food, he quickly put on a coat and sat down at the table. The little fox then jumped on the table, and Yuan Jing prepared a meal for it.

Because he was hungry for a day, Hu Lin's eating appearance was really not flattering. swept away the food on the table, and finally patted his belly with satisfaction and said, "I haven't tasted Miss Yuan's craftsmanship for a long time, I really miss it......"

Hearing Hu Lin's praise, Yuan Jing covered his mouth and smiled, and said with a smile, "It's good if the son likes it......"

"That...... These things on the ground still need to trouble Miss Yuan, help me change some materials, and if there is any leftover, help me exchange them for gold coins. Hu Lin said with some embarrassment.

"This is no problem, I don't know what materials Childe wants to change?"

Hu Lin waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to say this, I'll write it down and give it to you later." What I'm more concerned about now is whether you have found any trace of that Yue Qingshan. ”

Yuan Jing seemed to have known that Hu Lin would ask this question, and replied with a smile, "Early this morning, I handed over all the things recorded in the record crystal to the president of the Treasure Chamber of Commerce. When the president saw these things, he hurried to the city lord's mansion. It was already afternoon when he returned to the Chamber of Commerce, and when he returned, he dispersed all the spies and asked them to closely monitor the movements of the Black Tiger Gang and Juxianzhai. In the evening, according to the news brought back by the spies, no trace of Yue Qingshan was found in the entire Lin City, and he seemed to have disappeared from this Lin City. ”

"Is it really missing?" Hu Lin muttered, then thought about it. He recalled everything that happened in the secret room in his mind, and apart from the demon shadow, he couldn't find anything related to Yue Qingshan's disappearance.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously looked down at his chest. What happened after he fell into a coma was known only to Yue Qingshan, and he disappeared mysteriously, and it was very likely that he was still alive. Anyway, I had to find him and find out what happened to my body that night.

Yuan Jing looked at the ever-changing expression on Hu Lin's face, and although she was curious, she didn't ask anything. After Hu Lin's face calmed down, she continued, "There is nothing unusual about the Black Tiger Gang, and Peng Zhiyi doesn't seem to know that Yue Qingshan is missing. However, Yue Qingshan's disappearance can't be hidden for long, and I think that Juxian Zhai should start looking for Yue Qingshan now. I think the day after tomorrow, there should be movement on the City Lord's Mansion. What are Childe's plans? Do you want to join in the fun?"

Hu Lin shook his head and said, "I'm not going to join in the fun, I'm not very interested in this kind of thing." By the way, Miss Yuan didn't tell me about my lurking in Juxianzhai, did she?"

"Of course not! I just told the president that this information was obtained by a friend by chance, and I didn't say Childe's name. However, the elder seems to be very interested in Childe and wants to meet Childe. ”

Hu Lin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to meet...... I've been trying to improve my skills lately. I think I'm afraid I'll have to bother Miss Yuan for a while longer. "In fact, after Hu Lin fought with Yue Qingshan, he realized that his strength was insufficient. Originally, he wanted to leave and find a suitable practice for his own cultivation, but now that he had obtained the Void True Sutra, he wanted to find a quiet place to practice. Yuan Jing is naturally a better choice here, it is quiet and does not need to be far away from the city, so that he can continue to experience the life of the city while cultivating.

When Yuan Jing heard him say this, she immediately became overjoyed, and said happily, "Childe can live as long as he wants, and I can also ask Childe for more advice." Moreover, I like Mei'er very much, and with Mei'er's help these days, my mental strength has improved a lot. ”

After hearing Yuan Jing's words, the little fox jumped on her lap obediently. made a flattering look, causing Yuan Jing to let out a burst of laughter like silver bells.

The two chatted for a while, and Yuan Jing got up and left. As she was leaving, Hulin handed her a list of materials and handed her the treasure he had obtained from the chamber.

At this time, in a cave far away from Lincheng, a burst of excited laughter came out of the entrance of the cave.

"Hahahahaha...... I finally got the Demon Soul Mark that devoured the Demon Ancestor!"

The owner of this laughter was Yue Qingshan, who had finally woken up from his coma not long ago. When Yue Qingshan opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a cave. There are some glowing plants growing on the stone wall, and the whole cave is gray and looks very mysterious.

Yue Qingshan was looking at his chest excitedly at this time, holding the "Devouring Demon Sutra" tightly in his hand and said, "It's actually still the Nine Patterns Demon Soul Mark, with it, my dream can come true......!"

After laughing, Yue Qingshan left the cave and disappeared into the night. But the direction in which he disappeared was not the direction of returning to Lin City.

In the afternoon of the next day, Hu Lin learned from Yuan Jing's mouth that the Black Tiger Gang and Juxian Zhai had been eliminated by the city lord by thunderous means. Peng Zhiyi was beheaded by the city lord, and the Black Tiger Gang was basically wiped out by the defending troops, and only Mei Youqian and Quan Shibao escaped in the entire Black Tiger Gang. And Juxianzhai is even more vulnerable, after Yue Qingshan's disappearance, the entire Juxianzhai is like a plate of loose sand, and in two hours, it was driven out of the city by the defending troops.

Hu Lin naturally would not participate in this purge operation, and had been practicing the "Void True Scripture" in the small courtyard of Yuanjing. Since then, Hulin's life has become regular. Every day is full of time arranged by him, the morning time is used to study the "Mystery Secret Technique", at noon to go shopping in the city to drink tea, in the afternoon after practicing a stick method, he began to practice the "Void Sutra". With such a regular life, Hu Lin lived for two years.

One day two years later, Hu Lin said to Yuan Jing, "I'm ready to leave Lincheng......
