The first year of eternal winter, February 5th.

As far as yesterday is concerned, only a small night has passed, but for Yunzhao, it seems that a whole hundred years have passed.

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.

A bird's cry broke the silence over Changxi Mountain, and then more birds cried, and the morning sun fell on the treetops, causing the dew on the tips of the leaves to roll down and melt into the soft soil—winter seemed to be over completely.

A little girl with black hair and green clothes walked down the stone steps, one step at a time, staggering and difficult.

She saw a white mass at the bottom of the stairs.

Those fox demons said, who doesn't want a treasure like the nine-tails?

But the little fox had a sad look like a human in her eyes, curled up in her hands, her cheeks and four feet were stained with blood, and she looked fragile and tired.

There was a little weak light in her eyes, "They said you are a baby, you are a nine-tailed divine fox, right, you can save everyone, right?"

The little fox's eyelids trembled, but he still looked at her sadly.

The little weak light in the girl's eyes also dissipated. She turned around and looked blankly at the green onions of the mountains, as if she heard the bitter crying and screaming of the old people and children that night, and after listening to it for a long time, she turned back and looked blankly at the white fox with her head bowed at her feet.

The white fox snuggled obediently on her lap, and she touched its back and whispered, "They're here for you, aren't they?"

The little white fox's back stiffened, as if he could understand human words, and Chang Xishan had a black crow screaming hurriedly, which sounded like a heart-rending cry.

"You know what?" she looked at with her left hand, stroking the fox's big fluffy tail.

"My little seventh brother died on the cold ground, and the little finch guarded my sword until his body became stiff...... My master did good deeds all his life, and finally his head was cut off by a demon, and my master sold baskets and baskets for half his life, and when he died, he didn't even eat a full meal. ”

"I thought about it all night, and I thought of the scene of the trolls confronting you that day, and at the end it raised its head and screamed to call out to its companions. ”

"Yesterday's fox demon was the same, it heard your cry, and chased it out without hesitation. ”

"It was I who shouldn't have run down the mountain recklessly that day, and it was I who killed more than 100 people in Zuotianmen. ”

"But what are you?"

She crouched down and carefully looked at every inch of its body, her eyes full of incomprehension and monstrous hatred for whom.

"What the hell are you, and you're going to have to pay more than a hundred lives for us?"

The little fox whimpered, and let the girl tie an iron chain around its neck. It stared at the girl, at the pair of cold and unfamiliar eyes that had never been so cold, and it felt panicked, but how could beasts know what panic was?

Xiaohu understands.

Because it has been by the girl's side for as long as she can remember, being her little pet, having fun, rolling around, and it doesn't seem to be any different from other house pets...... It also never feels like it's different.

Once, when he went down the mountain with Xiao Zhao and Master Xiao Zhao, he saw a dying dog on the side of the road, which he also knew, and the owner of the dog was the son of the restaurant owner.

Why are you left here?" the little fox howled, asking the old dog in the language of the beast.

I am old and frail, and my master no longer needs me. There was no glimmer of brilliance in the old dog's drooping eyes, and he collapsed on the ground like a mess of meat, as if reminiscing about the days when he rode the streets and chased thieves and bandits.

The old dog whimpered and died.

The little fox's claws stretched out, and his body clinged to the little master's shoulders, and the sharp claws hurt the girl, causing her to scream, "Xiao Jiu, your claws are dead!"

It hurriedly withdrew its claws and desperately burrowed into the girl's arms.

It thought to itself, then it's good if I don't grow up, I won't be thrown away if I don't grow up and get old, right?

It was worried, and then it was inexplicably very sleepy, but God treated it well, and in the past few years, Xiao Jiu really hasn't grown up again.

Except for the day three days ago.

It understood the whisper in the goblin's throat, and the goblin said that the most precious head of the demon clan was here.

Then it laughed maniacally, Little Nine-Tails, you will kill the little doll around you, including all the people she cherishes. After saying that, the monster looked up to the sky and roared, it was using all its life to transmit the message to the demon clan's comrades, sacrificing its last drop of blood until the demon power was exhausted and died, so as to ensure that every party could hear it.

It said that the fox baby was not dead and was hidden in Changxi Mountain.

Xiao Jiu was scared, it vaguely understood something, but the only time the nine-tailed form exhausted its strength, it seemed to be about to fall asleep again.

It looked back at the girl with affection.

- I won't let anyone hurt her, and when I wake up, I'll lure away the monsters that have come after me. She and her loved ones will not be harmed in any way.

But when it woke up, it was reluctant, because the girl and her brother gave it a nice name, called Jiusi. The girl wrote her name on the paper again, and she said, "This is me, that's you, and we're going to be together forever." ”

What would become of Jiusi without a master?

- I miss it forever, I can never go back to the girl, and I will become a lost dog who falls on the side of the road.

It's really reluctant.

It couldn't be more wrong.

In the face of the girl's questioning, it didn't understand what it was, what the Nine-Tails was, and what was the most precious head, so that it could feel such a heartbreak?

"I have nothing, but I, Yun Zhao, swear in the name of Zuo Tianmen, the last disciple of the Yun family, that I will take revenge on your clan. ”

The oath is as heavy as a mountain.

She looked at the fox, and the disgust in her eyes grew heavier.

I don't know how long a person and a fox walked, and finally heard the noise of the market, Yun Zhao sat on the last bluestone slab, and she felt that the sun was dazzling.

She looked at the empty stall in the corner in front of her in a daze, it was the stall that Yun Yan had occupied after some digging with the people in the yamen, and thought that the master had been punished for sweeping the steps when he came back from selling baskets, so she lay on the top level and counted how many steps she had swept in total. There are a total of three hundred and eighty-five levels, but this time she walked down, she felt like tens of thousands of levels......

Ding-ding-ding-

Knock - Knock -

It was the sound of a blacksmith striking iron, a bit like whose favorite tune to sing?

It was a little boy with a flush on his cheeks jumping and shouting, "Yun Zhao Yun Zhao, guess what this object is—

"The whole body is like a mouth hanging in the void, regardless of the east, west, north and south winds,

In the ears are all Prajna, Ding Ding Dong Ding Dong!"

- You're so stupid! It's a wind chime, Yun Zhao!

She stood up, rubbed her eyes, and walked towards the blacksmith's shop.

"Uncle Chen, can you cultivate a sword here?"

Blacksmith Chen was startled when he saw the little girl in front of him, "Ouch, your hair is messy, and you have this smell on your body, did you sleep in the slaughterhouse in the eastern suburbs yesterday?"

She didn't answer, she lowered her head and just sent the burden with the broken sword to the board, "You can fix it for me, but I don't have any money for you this time...... My master probably won't pay for me. ”

Blacksmith Chen heard her strange voice, thinking that he had broken the sword and was scolded by the master, so he took it and looked at it, "Doll, I don't have this material here, uncle's craftsmanship, I'm afraid it won't look too good if it is repaired." ”

"It's okay, you can fix it for me, please. She said that she was going to kneel, but Blacksmith Chen hurriedly stopped her, feeling that this child was weird that she couldn't say today, and when he saw her face, he was shocked.

"You kid, did your master beat you, how did you get the blood on your face?" Blacksmith Chen watched Yun Zhao grow up, and he also felt sorry for her embarrassed appearance at this time, "I will go to Tong Yunyan in a while." ”

Yun Zhao didn't answer again, and now it took a lot of effort to say more, and he bowed to Blacksmith Chen repeatedly, then put down the broken sword and walked with the fox to the cemetery in the suburbs.

The ancestor of Zuotianmen was buried there, and in the past, every New Year's Day, the master had to bring the disciples in the door to worship. Now that there is such a big event in Zuotianmen, more than 100 people up and down have given their lives for a livestock she raised, she always feels that she is fully responsible, and the sect is gone, so she should also give an explanation to her grandfather.

"Grandpa," she threw herself to her knees, feeling very ashamed.

"I should have died to apologize. ”

She is insensitive, she is the most vicious disciple and fellow disciple in this world.

"But it's easy to die...... But I can't. ”

"I know that I have a blood debt of more than 100 people, and I can't afford to live a single life, so I should live, I must live, learn my skills hard, avenge them, and give them an explanation. ”

She looked at the sky, as if she had exhausted her last strength.

Her eyes were bloodshot all over her eyes, which had no trace of energy.

She looked at the blue sky, the unattainable sky, and her voice was so soft that it seemed as if she was going to fall down at any moment.

"When I was young, my master and my master told me that if I have desires or difficulties, I will tell you gods. ”

"But I thought about it all night yesterday, and I understood that it is useless to ask you, because please, you will not pay attention to ants like me...... But please, I will let you know my weaknesses and let you know what I care about.

When I was five years old, I ran to the shrine in the mountains and begged you, I begged you to bless my brother's leg so that he would not have to be in a wheelchair all the time......

I beg you to bless Master with good health, and I beg you to bless Master with a long life.

I beg you to give me a home that will always be happy and happy, even if it will never be very rich...... As long as everyone is not separated, it is good to be warm together. ”

The pale faces of more than a hundred people appeared in front of her, they didn't even have coffins, their bodies were stacked in the cold wind. She laughed with tears in her eyes.

"Look at my present situation, everything is contrary to what I want......

But I didn't ask for much. ”

Why is that?

"Just because you want to play tricks on me!

“...... But what can you do to me? Can you make me submit? How can you make me submit?"

She stretched out her hands, clutching the dead grass at her side tightly, her chapped lips trembling for some time, her chest rose and fell silently, and there was no sound around her, but she cried bitterly.

Accompanied by the sad wail of the little fox.

The sea is sometimes over, and the sea of bitterness is endless.

The demon clan regarded her as a small earthworm and disdained her, just because she had no sharp claws and no strong bones.

- But, eat the soil on the top, and drink the yellow spring on the bottom.

- Someday, I will dig a bloody path out of the ground, when you see me......

It is the time when the blood debt is paid by blood.

At this moment, there was a distant metal buzz in her ears, the sound was deafening, Yun Zhao grabbed her hair and screamed miserably.
