Chapter 42: Memories of the Thousand Fox Palace
There is a tunnel in this cave, and it looks very deep. There are many torches on the stone walls on both sides of the cave for lighting.
It's weird! Isn't this a cave? Does anyone live here? Shigeru felt a little uneasy in his heart. She didn't expect that there would be people living in this place, she lived here without saying hello yesterday, if the owner of this cave knows, it's not very good~
Thinking about it, Shigeru was still curious, and when she saw that there was no one in the cave, she walked inside.
The tunnel was very long, and as he walked, Shigeru cast a fire spell to light the torches along the way. The more she walked, the more frightened she became, what was waiting for her at the end of the tunnel for such a long road? Person? Immortal? Devil? Or a ferocious beast? Mao suddenly regretted it, curiosity killed the cat, she was heartbroken, and continued to walk inside.
Die and die! What could be worse than the current situation?
Finally, a moment later, Shigeru finally passed through the narrow tunnel, and what greeted her was unbelievable. There was a stone room with a stone bed, a stone table, a stone chair, and even the lattices of the windows. Shigeru touched his chin and looked at the stone chamber strangely.
She always felt that there was something wrong with this stone room, as if she had overlooked something? What is it exactly?
She had the courage to walk into the stone chamber, and after a week of patrolling, she suddenly thought of something and snapped her fingers. That's right! That's what is wrong!
The stone chamber was bright, and the light was clearly coming from the window, and Shigeru didn't notice it when he came in, and it was only then that he thought of this strange thing.
The presence of a window meant that the stone chamber could lead to the other side of the mountain, but this place had only a window and no door, and the only way to get out was through the tunnel she had just walked.
Shigeru's fingers wiped the stone table, frowning.
With such a thick layer of dust, it seems that no one has lived in this place for a long time, so who lives here?
Could it be the previous sin fairy? Shigeru thinks it's a possibility. It must be that the sin fairy thinks that the environment of this place is too bad, and he uses spells to build the stone chamber.
Mao felt that he had picked up a big bargain this time, and he had a sense of superiority that his predecessors planted trees and his descendants enjoyed the shade. It seems that God is still very good to her, at least giving her a decent place to stay.
Great Immortal, Great Immortal, Amao is here to thank you!
Shigeru bowed to the window. She looked at the dusty bed, table and chairs and decided to clean them first, and there was nothing wrong with cleaning them up!
Shigeru spent the whole day in the stone room, she thought it was good, although she was tired, but it could temporarily make her forget her loneliness and all the unpleasantness.
Night fell as scheduled, and the cold moonlight shone on Shigeru's body through the mottled window lattice, like a layer of white tulle enveloping her.
It was a cloudless night, the moonlight was scorching, and Shigeru's good mood for admiring the moon was messed up by the discomfort of his eyes. She rubbed her eyes and cursed in her heart:
Break the Moon! Don't let you look at it and pull it down! I sleep! Who loves to watch you! Hum!
She rolled over, her arms on her side and about to fall asleep, and was about to close her eyes, when she vaguely saw something glowing in the corner of the stone room.
Mao was startled, and most of her sleepiness disappeared in an instant, but she was too lazy to think about it. Sleep again.
But the light kept flickering on and off. Even though Ah Mao closed his eyes, he felt that the light was very dazzling.
What? I don't let people sleep!
Shigeru completely collapsed, sat up from the bed, got out of bed and walked to the corner.
It wasn't until she got closer that she noticed that the light was pale blue, but not noticeable from a distance.
Shigeru picked up the glowing object on the ground and walked to the window to study it carefully.
The luminous body was a piece of gravel, and there was a regular notch on the edge of the gravel, not like a natural formation, but like a small piece of jade pendant that had been torn off by brute force, and the main body of the pendant was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a small part of the perforated part.
Although this stone glows in the dark, it is not as beautiful and smooth as real jade, and it should be an ordinary piece of gravel in the daytime, inconspicuous. Shigeru's hand rubbed the rubble, a little puzzled: since this thing is not jade, and it is not beautiful, why would anyone punch it as a decoration? Looks like there's something wrong with this thing!
After thinking about it, Mao put the gravel in his arms and fell asleep......
The country of green hills, Thousand Fox Palace.
Tu Shanju stands beside the carved fence outside the palace and looks into the distance, this is her territory, she is the empress of the country of Qingqiu.
Whenever those elders forced her to hand over the Linglong Pagoda, she was asking herself, who was the emperor? These elders of the fox clan relied on their seniority to denounce her and accuse her under the banner of loyalty to the former emperor. She can only endure, for so many years, she seems to have never done anything other than patience......
She hated her mother, even her father. Why force her? Why?
Her happiness seemed to freeze all over that night more than 500 years ago......
The demonic red eyes in the Thousand Fox Palace stung her eyes. Her mother struggled in pain, her bloodied hands clutching the corners of her skirt, and she said, "Please, help me, Juan......
But she kept cowardly backing away, backing back. She cried, and that was the first time she had cried. She knew that her mother had to die, or she and her father would never survive.
She ran and ran until she reached her room. She looked at the fire-filled Thousand Fox Palace from afar, and her already weak body slid down the door, she cried bitterly, and said over and over again: Mother, I'm sorry.
If her father just made a big mistake out of greed at the beginning, then the rest of the matter was just a wrong step, a wrong step. By now, she has long been numb.
She admitted that it was her selfishness that hurt her mother and many people......
She never mentions these guiltes to others, including her father, Ezan.
"Guilt is not something that an emperor should have, it will destroy your sanity." Ezhan was draped in a dark color and walked to Tu Shanjue's side. He knew that her daughter was a measured person, and naturally he would understand the meaning of his words.
After all, having come this far, they can't afford to lose and can't afford to lose!
"My daughter understands that guilt is too expensive, and I can't afford it." Tu Shanjue smiled sadly, turned around and walked towards the Thousand Fox Palace.
"What are you going to do with that girl?" Ezan's cold and hard voice sounded.
"She has a low immortal level, and now she can't go to the lower realm, so let's ...... for the time being She can't be moved. ”
"Then wait until she can go to the lower realm, didn't you say that her family is in Zhaoyao Mountain?" Ezhan thought of something and smiled coldly.
Tu Shanjue's heart sank, "Father, just kill her, her family ......"
"Who said they were going to move her family?" E Zan interrupted Tu Shanyu's words, and his wolf-like eyes flashed with a terrifying coldness: "There is a better way, why should you kill innocents indiscriminately for your father?" ”
