Chapter 133: The Past Is Only Sad
Unlike the jubilation outside the high palace walls, the Fox King's Palace was still silent and audible when a pin fell. The demon beasts on duty were all cautious, for fear of disturbing the king's drunken sleep.
"Xiao Zhao, don't ......!" In a drunken dream, Hu Jiu saw Liu Zhao's transparent pale face again, and he muttered bitterly.
I don't know how long he slumbered, Hu Jiu was awakened by the pain coming from his palm. He opened his drunken eyes, looked at the jade slip with a cyan shimmer in his hand, and cursed silently: Hu Changkong, you are an old immortal!
Luck forced out the residual liquor in his body, the drunkenness on Hu Jiu's face faded, and the narrow fox eyes returned to clarity.
His eyes swept over the jade slip in his hand, and Hu Changkong's face that was exactly the same as Hu Jiu appeared in the void. The only difference from Hu Jiu is that Hu Changkong has no beard, and his whole face looks younger and more handsome than his son.
"Xiao Jiu'er, seeing words is like faces." The face in the void smiled happily, his lips were much thinner than Hu Jiu's, and he greeted Hu Jiu one by one.
"Bullshit! You've seen your old face again! Although Hu Jiu's words were mean, there was a flash of envy in his eyes.
"How? Is it fun to whip the gods? Hu Chang blinked his eyes skinnyly, and his thin lips hooked upwards in an arc, "Hehe, I know that you don't have the ability to marry a daughter-in-law, so I will talk to you for a while." ”
As he spoke, Hu Changkong put away his teasing expression, and his tone was a little solemn: "Our Qingqiu Fox Clan has always been a merciless demon beast. But because of this temperament, I suffered a lot of lovesickness. ”
"Just you, still lovesick?" Hu Jiu pursed the corners of his mouth, stood up, and sat diagonally on the green jade throne.
"Since I married your mother into Qingqiu, we have lived a few decades of leisure." Hu Changkong's face was full of longing and nostalgia, and his slightly narrowed black eyes were as gentle as water.
"But because she has never been pregnant, I began to marry more than a dozen concubines one after another." Hu Changkong sighed lightly and continued: "Later, those concubines gave birth to a few little cubs for the master. And your mother ......, your mother hasn't said a word to me since the first concubine entered the door, and it's ...... Never let me in her room. ”
Speaking of this, the corners of Hu Changkong's eyes were a little moist, and suddenly, he slapped himself without warning, sighed again, and continued with difficulty: "How do I know that the real nine-tailed divine beast has been conceived for decades!" When my concubines and I were happy, your mother was pregnant with your little rabbit cub! Because she was angry with me, she lost her body, and finally gave birth to you, but she ......"
......In the hall, Hu Changkong's suppressed sobbing sound sounded, and Hu Jiu opened his mouth wide, sat on the throne in a daze, watching his father's phantom sobbing and crying.
Hu Jiu always thought that his father was a greedy and lustful fox, and he had never seen him cry like this, and for a while, he began to wonder if this phantom was the Hu Changkong who always laughed in his memory.
"When your mother was 100 years old, she finally died of depression because of the stagnation of her cultivation. It wasn't until your kid grew a rare nine tails that I knew that she had given birth to a true divine beast for our fox clan! Whining......! Hu Changkong sobbed as he spoke.
"Since she's gone, I'm sorry! You say, with such a beautiful woman as your mother as a wife, why should I marry so many concubines? If we have been doing well, with her divine beast qualifications, she will fly with me no matter what, why should I endure these thousands of years of loneliness? ”
As he spoke, Hu Changkong slapped his mouth again, wiped the tears on his face, stretched out his finger in the void, and pointed at the place where Hu Jiu was sitting: "This is why I casually agreed to the marriage of the wolf clan." If you meet the woman you like, you must first be tested by the whip. Only a hard-won wife will you know how to cherish it! I'm really afraid that you will follow my old path, because of the bad roots of the fox clan, and miss the love of your life. ”
"Dead old man, I've lost her!" Hu Jiu sat on the throne like a deflated ball, "Our grandfather and son are really the same, you can't live if you do your own evil!" ”
"Xiao Jiu'er, what about the beauty in this world, there are thousands of them, but there is only one heart in you. Broken, it is eternal regret, the longer you live, the emptiness of this heart! Hu Changkong seemed to see Hu Jiu's remorse, and made up for it seriously!
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot the most important thing, when your mother was leaving, she finally agreed to see me. She asked me to seal her dormitory, and when you were two thousand years old, let you go inside, where she had some things for you. Hu Changkong wiped his face, returned to the appearance of a hippie smile, and winked at his son again, "The method of lifting the seal Lao Tzu has already taught you, you want to go yourself!" ”
"Hu Changkong, you have taught Lao Tzu a lot of things, how do I know which one?" Hu Jiu shouted at the phantom that was getting fading in the void.
In Hu Changkong's mischievous laughter, Qingyu Jian shattered with a "snap", and Hu Changkong's image disappeared, and the hall became empty silence again.
Hu Jiu looked at the ring carved with the nine-tailed fox totem on his finger steadily, thinking about Hu Changkong's depression when he said that his mother was ending, and thinking of the dead knot in Liu Zhao's heart, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Hey, her anger hasn't subsided, don't feel uncomfortable!" Hu Jiu paced back and forth in the main hall, muttering to himself: "Forget it, let's go to my mother's bedroom first!" ”
After saying that, he no longer hesitated, and walked straight to the apse.
The magnificent Fox King's Palace occupied the top of the entire Qinghu Mountain, and Hu Jiu hurriedly walked past countless pavilions and pavilions, and stopped in front of a beautiful small building.
The three-storey small building is carved from the whole piece of green jade, which is the top water cloud jade in the green jade, the whole small building faintly glows with cyan fluorescence, and the jade carved railing painting building is transparent and crystalline, as if there is a cyan water flowing slowly in the building.
However, the strange thing is that all the doors and windows in the small building are covered by thick clouds, and if anyone wants to get closer, the clouds will bounce open violently.
"Cut, Hu Changkong is also capable of this little ability, and he will show it to Lao Tzu!" Hu Jiu muttered as he used his slender fingers to draw intricate lines in the void, the same figure as unlocking the seal of the secret passage leading to the Fox King's Palace at the foot of the Green Fox Mountain.
Soon, the ancient pattern appeared in front of Xiao Lou, and Hu Jiu's finger clicked down on a position in the figure.
The thick clouds and mist dispersed to both sides, and a gate carved with the phoenix nirvana appeared in the center of the small building. (To be continued.) )
