Chapter 22: White Paint
Along the way, the two of them did not encounter any obstacles, and there was no sound in the empty ditch of the raccoon dog, presumably the animals made the foxes rush to the moon slope. The two of them quickened their pace, not in the mood to see the movements around them along the way.
The moon was very big this night, and it felt that the further they went, the bigger the moon became, and when they reached the moon worship slope, the huge moon had already shrouded the entire distant mountains, and illuminated the entire moon worship slope.
This moon slope is a small plateau surrounded by woods. In the middle of the highland, a half-meter-high earthen platform was piled up, which was about a dozen square meters in size. There are many foxes around the earthen platform, and there are tens of thousands of them. Some stand still, some scurry, and some point fingers at other small animals. These finger-pointing foxes are quite large, standing on the ground half a man tall, and they look very fierce with cracked teeth.
These big foxes drove away the small animals and piled up handfuls of loess around the earthen platform, which seemed to be reinforcing. Moda thought that he must be preparing for a moon salute for a while. Mo Han held Mo Da's hand tightly, and she was very angry in her heart. The last thing she can see is that the little animals are being bullied by some bad guys, looking at the skinny little guys in front of her, it makes her want to protect, and wants to rush out of the gang to punch and kick the big foxes. She endured the fear of breaking something big. Mo Da looked at her expression, understood that Mo Han's heart was full of anger, and quietly leaned over and said
"Wait and see, don't worry."
Mo Han gritted his teeth and nodded at Murda.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the fox flock, and all the foxes were scurrying up and down, as if they were sorting out the formation, and after a while, all the foxes stood under the earth platform, and their heads formed a concentric circle towards the earth platform. On the periphery of the fox circle were small foxes, and the big foxes stood closest to the earthen platform with the small animals. It seems that the position of the foxes is based on seniority. The cold moonlight shrouded the entire moon-worshipping slope, making people feel eerie and eerie.
Suddenly, the foxes parted ways far away from Meda and them. An object slowly moved into the path where the foxes parted, its back to the moon, leaving a huge black shadow under the oblique rays of the moonlight, hanging over the foxes on both sides of the road. Wherever this thing walked, the fox immediately fell down. The thing trembled and walked up to the platform and came to the middle of the platform. Only then did Moda see that the thing was only more than a foot high, and it was covered with a large coat made of fur that I don't know what kind of way, and this big coat reflected the oily light in the moonlight.
Seeing this thing raise its right arm, it stretched out a bony claw. The thin paw waved at the fox, and the whole group of foxes craned their necks together and roared towards the moon. The thing waved its claws three times in a row, and the foxes sang in unison three times in a row. Then, two half-human-tall big foxes walked up to the high platform, and in the middle stood a big black fox that had been beaten to a bloody pulp. Pull it in front of it and throw it to the ground. The thing began to chirp and bark at the foxes, and because of the loud sound of the high platform, the sound was amplified many times, and Mo Da and Mo Han could hear it clearly.
Mo Han froze, stretched out his ears to listen carefully, listened for a while, and began to talk to Mo Da
"It's the language of the fox, it seems that an old fox is talking, and it is in front of the reprimand, this big black fox that is half beaten to death"
Murda asked eagerly
"What exactly?"
He said that as the king of the fox, he has repeatedly reaffirmed that he does not know how many times he is not allowed to mate with the fox, this rule has been established for hundreds of years, and there are still people who violate it today. If you are pregnant with an impure seed, you will dirty the blood of the fox. ”
Seeing that the fox king said to the fox group for a while, Mo Han translated to Mo Da, and clenched his fists while translating
"Now that someone has violated the rules of the fox group, don't blame it for being the fox king's unsympathetic. Although it is its descendants who lie on the ground, if they violate the fox rules, they will be severely punished. It's all about it."
Mo Han's voice trembled a little
"The human skin is put together by the scalps of 500 people in the Yan Kingdom back then!"
Speaking of this, Moda took a cool breath, it turned out that the fur on the big coat was human scalp and hair! The two glanced at each other, and Mo Han continued
"Since there is no one in the raccoon ditch, its skin has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and there is nothing to repair if it is broken. It just so happens that all foxes who violate the ban have to cut off their heads and renew the skin on the top of their heads to the big patch."
Murda heard this and gritted her steel teeth. I thought that this old fox was really ruthless, not only using human scalp to make a big meal, but actually being so ruthless to his own people. Grandma's, if you have a chance, you will definitely cure this dead old fox. Mo Han then translated
"However, your head is already broken, and it's useless to make up for it. Paint me the one that seduced our fox, and that little bastard."
Turning to this, Mo Han didn't continue to speak, and leaned in with Mo Da to look. Seeing that two tall foxes were dragging an animal up, Murda looked at the book in his hand, and the picture was exactly the same as this animal, which was exactly the same as the painting. This one was painted snow-white, but its originally shiny fur was torn and mottled by the fox. Seeing that Tu was still holding a small thing in his arms, he didn't dare to poke out when he shrank in Bai Tu's arms.
Before the fox king could speak, Bai Tu opened his mouth to speak Tu language, and Mo Han listened to the translation to Mo Da
"You shameless old fox, you have plagued our Tanzigou for hundreds of years, and since you came to Tanukigou, there has not been a day of peace. We, King Tu, have already negotiated with the villagers not to destroy the moon worship platform again, you have to use foxtail grass to lose their hearts and let people kill each other. Our King Tu was betrayed by you, a shameless old fox, and he was extremely angry, and he asked you to reason, but in order to get his spirituality, you cut out his heart and ate it. In the past, we were protected by Tu Qun, and the raccoon ditch was harmonious and beautiful. You bastard demon fox has gained spirituality and resourcefulness, and it is all used to oppress us, and even the foxes who used to be kind and witty have been led to evil paths by you, do you say?"
Speaking of this, Bai Tu looked at the bottom of the earthen platform. The little animals in the audience were already in tears when they heard this, and even some of the older foxes were in tears. The fox king was afraid that Bai Tu would continue to speak, so he hurriedly grabbed the words, and shouted at Bai Tu, and Mo Han translated
"Bastard, the fox was born to be the spirit of all things, the head of all things. You dare to be nonsense, okay. I have a way to shut you up. I heard that you have been having an affair with a black fox for many years, and you already gave birth to a mongrel five days ago. I've already violated the ban, come, take out that little furball from her bosom for me! ”
After speaking, the two big foxes standing next to him pushed Bai Tu down and tried to snatch Xiao Tu from his arms. Bai Tu was willing to protect his child desperately, pressed the child under him, arched his body, and opened his mouth to bite the two strong big foxes. Shouting while biting
"Aren't you just afraid that our spirit and the wisdom of the fox will become one? What kind of rules, I'm afraid that someone smarter will overthrow you, you skinny old fox"
Before Mo Han finished translating, a big fox had already pulled Xiao Tu out of Bai Tu's arms, and the other was constantly beating and biting Bai Tu. The fox king looked at Xiao Tu, stretched out his shriveled paws and pressed them on Xiao Tu's head, and muttered fox language in his mouth.
"Not good! Murda, he's going to kill the child of Bai Tu! ”
Meda had already drawn his bow and arrows from his back and was waiting to strike. Hearing Mo Han say that Xiao Tu's life was on the verge of death, he immediately shot five arrows into the sky at great speed. A few days ago, he learned archery with Merton in the grassland, and Moda has basically mastered the arc archery technique, and now it comes in handy. Mo Dazhi will definitely not be able to break through, there are too many foxes, and he and Mo Han will only suffer. If you shoot directly with the bow and arrow, the foxes will find out where they are hiding, so they use the arc shooting method.
Five arrows fell one after another after reaching the apex, the first one piercing the old fox's paws, and the last four hitting the four big foxes on the earthen platform. Because the bow and arrow have acceleration from top to bottom, the force of the fall is extremely strong, not to mention the four big foxes shot through, and they are nailed to the earthen platform. The old fox was even more embarrassed, and he couldn't move with one hand nailed to the ground. Bai Tu was startled, and immediately turned over and snatched Xiao Tu down and hugged him in his arms. The entire Moon Worship Slope was frightened by this scene, and there was a mess of porridge under the earthen platform. The big foxes closest to the earth platform immediately rushed up to the earth platform to see the fox king, and no one paid attention to the trembling Bai Tu mother and son.
Murda asked Mohan
"Can you smudge?"
"I've just listened to it for a while, I remember some, what's wrong?"
"I have few bows and arrows, and I can't deal with so many foxes, now let's take advantage of the chaos to save Bai Tu's mother and son, and it will be difficult to save the foxes after a while. I'm going out now to stand at the edge of the woods, and you shout to them in scribbling to run over me, and I'll break them with my bow and arrows. Fast! ”
Mo Han hurriedly shouted in scribble
"Come this way! White paint! Come this way! We save you! ”
Mo Han shouted, and Mo Da waved his hand as hard as he could. Bai Tu could tell that this was Tuyu, and thought that there were only a few Tu left in the entire Tanuki ditch, and it must be his companions who came to save him, and ran towards the sound of Mo Han's shouting.
Several powerful foxes on the earth platform have pulled out the arrows on the fox king's claws, and the fox king covered his paws with his teeth and shouted loudly, gesturing at a group of big foxes. After the comparison, I saw that the four leading big foxes each led a team of foxes and began to search in the four directions of east, west, north and south. Mo Da estimated that the fox group did not find Bai Tu's mother and son, otherwise they would not have pursued separately. In a blink of an eye, Bai Tu should have been injured and staggered very slowly. The four teams of foxes quickly ran to the edge of the slope and the woods, and surrounded the entire slope. Moda thought that this was bad, Bai Tu was still running to the side, just in time to be caught by the surrounding fox.
At this moment, several shadows emerged from the fox group, surrounding Bai Tu. Moda was just about to shout that it was not good, it turned out to be 7 or 8 large painted with patterns, and when he saw these few painted and white tu, he whispered simply, and rushed out with white tu. From the earth platform to the Murda, their position is about more than 200 meters, at first the foxes were still in a mess, after changing their senses, all the foxes besieged them together. However, these big flower tus are very strong, and the foxes on the periphery are smaller and smaller, so the flower tus have opened a way with grabbing and bumping all the way.
The fox king on the earth platform saw Tu in the attack of the group of foxes, pointed in the direction with his bloody paws, and screamed towards the sky, and the big fox surrounded outside immediately surrounded Tu. The little foxes just now were easy to deal with, these big foxes were fat and strong, and those few flowers gradually couldn't support it. Murda raised her bow again
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, shoot the old fox king first"
"Don't!"
Mo Han grabbed Mo Da
"Don't. If the fox king dies, the foxes will be angry and angry, and then they will become the object of anger. Just shoot it. ”
Moda nodded, it was too late to shoot with an arc bow, and he shot straight out of the arc with an arrow. The bow and arrow hit the fox king's left leg, and the old fox immediately fell to the ground. When the foxes saw that the fox king was shot again, they knew that these Tu had another helping hand, and they were afraid that the fox king would be shot to death. The big foxes hurriedly rushed back to the fox king, made a fox wall with their bodies, and protected the fox king tightly.
Now they were saved, and they rushed all the way to Murda and them. A few Hua Tu saw that they were not of the same kind, and they were a little nervous, and immediately blocked in front of Bai Tu.
Mo Han immediately spoke to them in Tu for a while, and a few Tu nodded. Mo Han turned his head to greet Murda
"I explained our kindness to them and asked them to follow us back to the mouth of the Tanuki ditch the same way."
Murda nodded and said
"Okay, my palace, you take the ink turtle to lead the way in front. Come on! ”
At this time, Bai Tu staggered to the front with a few flower tu, and actually spoke to Mo Da
"This brother, I know that you mean well. These flowers are all of my kind, and we are all gone."
As he spoke, he pointed to himself, and then to the bruised Hua Tu next to him.
"This fox king is not easy to deal with, relying on his own soul dementorship method has completely controlled the consciousness of the fox group, especially when the moon is full in this moon worship, the effect of the soul dementor is stronger. You go, we'll stay. ”
"So what are you going to do?"
Murda was concerned. One of the largest flower tus spoke
"You take the princess and the young master away, we are in the way! We are destitute lives, and it is our mission to rescue them. Quick, don't delay any longer! ”
The foxes besieged again, and when they knew that Lu Dao was not polite, they hurriedly picked up the dying Bai Tu and followed Mo Han to rush forward. I didn't go far before I heard the sound of biting and fighting behind me. At first, I could hear the sound of a few flowers piercing through, but then I gradually drowned out the screams of the foxes.
Mo Han's face was full of tears, she was deeply moved by the protector of the flowers, and she was even more ruthless to the shriveled and treacherous fox king. But now is not the time to speak, it is important to get out of the shadows.
As he ran, Bai Tu whispered in Murda's ear
"Engong, I know that time is running out, and I want to entrust the child to you"
Mo Dazhi Dao Tu is a very spiritual animal, and this Bai Tu is the princess of Tu Qun, I want to ask what is going on.
"Princess, leave your child to me, and I will treat it well. But don't worry, I'll take you to Shennong to heal your injuries. ”
"What? Are you a desperate disciple? ”
"yes, what?"
"Okay, it's good that with the Guzhu disciple to raise my child, I can close my eyes. This baby father is the ink fox on the stage just now, we have loved each other for many years, how can the old fox stipulate that the fox and Tu cannot intermarry, what I am afraid of is that the offspring will have the cunning of the fox and the spirituality of Tu, and when the time comes, he will become the fox king cough cough cough"
Bai Tu said, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and then Moda's left shoulder was red.
"It's just a pity for this child, Tianzi is so good, but he has no father. Engong, I just beg you to treat it well cough cough cough cough"
This white painting is really not good, and he vomited three or four mouthfuls of blood in a row. With the last bit of strength, he held the little black hairball in his arms in his hand, and said a few words to the little hairball in scribbles. Then, gasping for breath, he said to Murda
"Engong, I told the baby, from today onwards you are its owner, if you want it to listen to you, cough, cough, cough, cough, this child is still young, can't speak human language, but can understand, maybe after the age of ten can be completely psychic speech. If it is a purebred Tu, he can be psychic since he was a child, but his father is a fox, and I don't know when it will be. It's a pity I can't watch it grow up cough cough cough"
Bai Tu left tears in his eyes and handed the little furball to Murda. Murda took it and carried it in his arms.
"Engong, after I die, you have to keep my body safe. Coated skin waterproof to keep out the cold, coated flesh to brighten the eyes and calm the soul, and bone coated is the best for healing. And I have ten spirit pills in my belly, which is what people call smeared eggs, remember to put them away after Engong takes them out, and they will be of great use in the future. I can't repay my father-in-law, I can only repay it with my body. You don't have to be careful, and you don't have to be embarrassed. We believe that if the body can be dismantled and used in the right way, it will be able to enter heaven instead of hell."
Bai Tu's voice became weaker and weaker, and he exhausted all his strength after the last moment. Murda felt a shock in his left shoulder, and Bai Tu was already paralyzed on his shoulder.
Murda felt sad for a while, and felt sorry for the little one in her arms. But now that the enemy is present, it's too late to be sad. Bai Tu is dead, and the best sacrifice to it is to follow its wishes.
At this moment, Meda heard the rustle of countless fox paws rubbing against the leaves behind him, and in a short time, the rustle was getting closer and closer.
