Chapter 132: The Past of the White Fox
"He's your son?"
Knowing that it was the old man's son who was being imprisoned here, Yu Xiaoxiao gradually let down her guard, but still asked with a puzzled face: "Old man, what is going on?" β
Xiao Yu also looked at the old man surnamed Jiang quietly and asked the doubts in his heart.
Oh, yes! How could a father lock his son up in a stone chamber? And look at the other person's appearance......
Seeing that the eyes of the two fell on him, the face of the old man surnamed Jiang showed a trace of pain, only to see him slowly close the iron door, as if he didn't want to see his son like this now, after a while, he said quietly: "All this has to be said from the beginning of the establishment of this town!" β
"The beginning of this town?!" Xiao Yu and Yu Xiaoxiao looked at each other, both of them were surprised!
"This town is called White Fox Town, and the reason why it is called this name is because our town enshrines a white fox fairy ......"
The town was founded more than 300 years ago, and the people of the town originally came here to escape the scourge of war. Back then, it was overgrown with bushes and wild beasts. The people who came here were miserable, and many of those who fled here died in the harsh conditions. Just when the rest of the people were in despair, a snow-white white fox appeared in front of everyone, strange to say, with the appearance of this white fox, there was no more beast here.
After three days here, the white fox mysteriously disappeared, and after that, no beasts appeared, even if one or two occasionally appeared, they were far away, so that the townspeople were completely free from the beasts.
Subsequently, more and more people fled here, turning it into a large town with tens of thousands of households.
"Tens of thousands of households?!" Yu Xiaoxiao was shocked when she heard this: "But why are there only about 100 households now!" β
"Yu Xiaoxiao, let the old gentleman finish!"
Later, in order to commemorate the white fox who brought peace to the town, the people of the town named the town White Fox Town, and built a fox fairy altar in the cave where the fox fairy once lived, to thank the white fox for his kindness. And with the construction of the altar, things in the town are also going well. Every year, the wind and rain are smooth, and the products are harvested. And the newborn babies are also growing up healthily - for a time, White Fox Town has become a treasure land within a radius of hundreds of miles, and more and more people have moved here to live-" The old man said this, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but then, this happy expression changed to endless suffering: "But all this has completely changed since more than a hundred years ago! β
"More than a hundred years ago?" Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "What happened at that time?" β
"More than a hundred years ago, a lot of foreigners came to the town, saying that the north of White Fox Town was rich in an extremely valuable ore, and encouraged the people in the town to mine ......."
Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned after hearing this: "Ore? There don't seem to be any veins around here, right? β
The old man sighed and said, "Yes, alas, if only the people at that time knew. Unfortunately, at that time, although the priests in the town were strongly opposed, everyone else wanted to earn the money of the foreigners, and finally got hired to mine...... Who knows, mining is actually just a front, and the real purpose of those people is actually to rob the tombs......"
And sure enough, it was!
Xiao Yu nodded secretly, and he said how could it be such a coincidence. The mountain collapsed more than 100 years ago, and the group of foreigners happened to appear at that time......
"The landslide has blocked the town's road to the outside world, and the environment here has become extremely harsh, and wild beasts that have never appeared in the past have begun to attack the people in the town...... Everyone in the town regretted it, the ancestors thought of many ways, and even rebuilt a new altar to pray to the fox fairy, but it was useless, the fox fairy was already enraged...... More and more wild beasts stormed the town, and the disease spread throughout the town, and many people died. There are also young and strong people who left here and wanted to live elsewhere, but never came back...... "The more I talked, the more sad I became, and in the end there was only an endless sigh.
"Then why don't you move somewhere else, sir? If the environment here really becomes so bad, it is not an overnight thing to change. What's more, with the current environment, it is really not suitable for settlement. β
The old man shook his head and said, "Alas, I haven't considered the idea of moving away. It's just that White Fox Town is a place where our ancestors have settled down for generations, and I, as the sacrifice of the White Fox Altar, can't I even keep this homeland......"
Sacrifice? It turned out that this old man was actually a sacrifice in White Fox Town.
"And your sonβ"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the stone house that was still roaring, and said with palpitations: "How did he become like this?" β
"Oh - I'm to blame for that!" The old man glanced at the stone room behind him, and said with tears in his eyes: "He knew that I didn't want to leave, so he rushed back from a big city thousands of miles away and opened this Jiang family's pharmacy in the town, wanting to treat the injured and change the status quo in the town, but more than a month ago, my son went to the Fox Immortal Altar instead of me, and after coming back, he became like this......"
Fox Immortal Altar?!
The corners of Xiao Yu's eyebrows moved slightly!
"Could it be some monster doing it?" Yu Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Yu, and then said to the old man.
"yes!" When the old man heard this, he showed a wry smile: "I also know that this is the work of monsters, but now that White Fox Town has suffered enough, I can't tell the people in the town about this, and I can't rub salt on the wounds of the residents who are already on the verge of collapse." β
"But there's no way you can hide it like this?!"
"I also hope there is a way, otherwise I really can't live this life! But--there are only a few old and weak women and children left in the town, not to mention monsters, even ordinary beasts, we can't help it! The old man surnamed Jiang smiled helplessly.
"In that case, why didn't the old gentleman invite a master to come and catch a demon?" Xiao Yu asked rhetorically, yes, since the people in the town have no way to deal with this monster, why can't they invite a strong man outside?
"I'm ashamed to say that I have also invited some Taoist priests and mages outside to subdue beasts and monsters, but with the current situation of White Fox Town, I can't get a good reward at all, and I invite not some guys who only know three-legged cat kung fu, or some charlatans who eat and drink-alas~~~~~~"
"If that's the case, how about we go and subdue that monster?"
That's when it happened. Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke.
"What?!" Xiao Yu was stunned, looking at Yu Xiaoxiao beside him in surprise, but instantly understood the other party's intentions.
Maybe this is the test that my Xuanqi Elder gave himself......
