To be honest, in fact, I was disappointed at that moment, because of Hu Dingtang's stubbornness.

At this time, I see Hu Dingtang as everything, but he hopes too much in his heart.

I deliberately staggered away from him, and walked towards another fork in the road with some anger, walking a little fast, and feeling uncomfortable.

As soon as I walked a short distance, I heard footsteps chasing after me, and the next moment, Hu Dingtang's hand passed through from behind and hugged me.

He wrapped his hands tightly around me, buried his face in my neck, and said sullenly, "Angry? ”

"Nope." I said.

"I know you're angry." Hu Dingtang said, "I also know that whether I am to Yunzhi or to my uncle, that kind of trust is a bit excessive, and even, I have not questioned my uncle, but I am still willing to believe him, not that he himself is worth trusting, but that I need this trust, Xiao Jiu'er, do you understand?" ”

I was surprised, what Hu Dingtang meant was that he trusted Hu Liancheng for the sake of trust?

"Now, don't you think I've fallen into a situation where everyone has betrayed my relatives and my family is ruined?"

"My father died, and my mother killed him by her own hand; Grandpa died, and it was killed by the first elder of the clan; The second brother died, and he was used to death by his father and brother; And the eldest brother became the puppet of the dead uncle. ”

"All of this is overwhelming, except for you, I am left with only my uncle and Yunzhi, they are my last spiritual support, if they can't be relied on......"

It wasn't until this moment that I suddenly really understood Hu Dingtang.

There have been so many things that have happened during this time, whether it is casualties or betrayals, all of them are his dearest relatives, and if I were in his position, I might have this mentality.

Even if you take down the entire fox clan and take everything you want, but the people you care about around you are all gone, or they are disposed of by themselves because of rebellion, what is the point of sitting in that high position?

Therefore, of course, Hu Dingtang hopes that the last remaining Hu Liancheng, even if it is just Hu Yunzhi, as long as the remaining one can be fully trusted, it is also a great encouragement for him.

Hu Dingtang's trust, which seems to me to be almost blind, does not mean that he is really blind and defenseless, but that he is trying to leave the last piece of pure land for his torn soul.

"I'm glad there's still you." Hu Dingtang said again, "Xiao Jiu'er, only you are completely sure of me. ”

I turned around, hugged him tightly with my backhand, and said, "It's okay, I will always be with you until the end, and I will never betray." ”

Hu Dingtang nodded vigorously: "I know, you can rest assured, I won't really do nothing, don't go to the ancestral tomb, in fact, I am also selfish, if Hu Jingyang really unites with my uncle, if I go in and openly debunk it at this time, then, they will do it immediately, and then we will suffer from the enemy." ”

"Therefore, I would rather turn a blind eye and solve the matter of the Mandala Flower Demon first, and then deal with Hu Jingyang."

I didn't expect that Hu Dingtang and I would go together, so he said: "Hu Liancheng has never shown up, what he thinks in his heart is nothing more than those possibilities, whether it is from his own position or for you, he will not really let the mandala flower demon generalize the fox clan, so on the premise of not provoking Hu Liancheng, we can rest assured and boldly go to the forbidden land." ”

"Another point," Hu Dingtang said, "If Hu Jingyang really cooperates with my uncle, he must be monitored by my uncle, but he will no longer easily stir up trouble and make small moves behind our backs at critical moments." ”

"It turns out that you have thought everything through, which makes me worry in vain." I finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Hu Dingtang touched my head and said, "It's all my fault, I originally told you all this before I came, but Yunxi's matter upset me, so I didn't want to say more, but I made you angry." ”

Say it, and that's it.

I turned my eyes and looked in the direction of the ancestral tomb again, in fact, it was not just me, Hu Dingtang's heart was actually like a mirror, right?

Hu Dingtang now holds the golden seal of the fox clan, in name, he is the patriarch of the fox clan, whether Hu Liancheng is a member of the fox clan or Hu Dingtang's uncle, he should not be so obscure.

Hu Dingtang went outside the ancestral tomb tonight, it is impossible for Hu Liancheng not to receive the news, the ancestral tomb is heavily guarded, he has no reason to even have the time and opportunity to come out to see Hu Dingtang.

There are some things, it's not that there is no opportunity, but that there is no heart.

Hu Liancheng and Hu Jingyang, I'm afraid I can't get rid of it.

But I'm not sure how much Hu Yunzhi knows, whether he's been kept in the dark or whether he's on the same side as his father.

I looked up at Hu Dingtang and asked, "What's next?" What are you going to do? ”

"Next, I'll follow in your footsteps." Hu Dingtang said.

My eyes lit up: "Really? Everything you can give up the current Lower Fox Clan is disturbing and fighting side by side with me? ”

In fact, from the very beginning, I never thought of asking Hu Dingtang to accompany me to the forbidden land, after all, I hoped that he could finally sit in the position of patriarch and lead our entire clan to grow.

And what I will face when I go to the forbidden place is still unknown, and I don't want to end up with Hu Dingtang.

Hu Dingtang confirmed: "Don't forget, you are my woman, how can you let you take risks alone, even if you have to take risks, as your man, I should also rush to the front." ”

I smiled, smiled and tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek, and said, "I knew you were the best, but the time is not ripe yet, it is already halfway through tonight, and it is impossible to act, let's go back and sleep well first, and then think about it in the long run." ”

Hu Dingtang had no objection, and we went back to the old house together.

By the time I went to bed, it was already around one o'clock in the morning.

I was lying in the bed, Hu Dingtang wrapped one hand around my shoulder, the other hand on my waist, and I fell asleep deeply.

He has been under too much psychological pressure recently, and he has not been able to rest well, so he can completely relax when he is with me, and he sleeps relatively deeply.

I gently removed his hand, turned over his body, and then moved the incense burner on the table to the head of the bed, and added a large dose of soothing incense to the incense burner and lit it.

Then I quickly got dressed, looked back at the incense burner with white smoke and Hu Dingtang lying quietly on the bed, and raised my feet to go out.

Yes, I'm planning to do it tonight.

Hu Yunxi's stomach has changed, this is not accidental, Hu Liancheng is also always preparing, the more he drags it back, the more dangerous it is.

Therefore, it is urgent to go to the forbidden land, but I can't take Hu Dingtang with me, I have to leave him behind, whether it is for the sake of the fox clan to keep him, or to leave him outside the forbidden land to help me as a backup, I have to do this.

Tell him directly that he will never agree, so I can only make this decision, hoping that he will wake up early tomorrow morning and not blame me.

When I closed the door, a chill hit, and I couldn't help but wrap my clothes, it was really cold in the winter night, and it looked like it was going to snow.

I didn't delay too long, I had already sorted out my emotions, walked all the way out of the old house, and climbed towards the top of the mountain in secret.

The forbidden land is at the top of the mountain, where not only my mother is suppressed, but also the mandala flower demon, and I want to take my mother out of the hands of the flower demon!

It's quiet, it's surprisingly quiet everywhere at night.

Just as I had reached the top of the mountain and was about to reach the edge of the Forbidden Land, two figures turned out from behind a large tree not far away.

The moonlight was weak tonight, and they were standing in the shadow of the tall trees, and they couldn't see who those two men were.

I thought to myself, could it be that someone found out my whereabouts and came to stop me?

Or are they themselves the ones who guard the forbidden ground?

But soon, I realized that I was wrong, those two people walked towards me, and when I got closer, I suddenly realized that these two people were not Ming Qi and Hu Huilan.

"Why are you here? It scared me. I patted my chest and complained.

Hades said, "Knowing you're coming, we've been waiting here for a long time. ”

"Forget it, Sister Huilan has an injury, how can you bring her here? You two hurry up and get me back! I ordered.

Hu Huilan hurriedly said: "Don't, don't blame Senior Brother, I insisted on coming, my wound is already healed, and it won't affect our work." ”

"No way!" I said sharply, "This is the forbidden land of the fox clan, as a member of the fox clan, none of you know better than me, how dangerous it is in this forbidden land, I went in because I wanted to save people, you go in, you are trespassing on the forbidden land, I advise you not to take risks." ”

Hu Huilan immediately said, "Fourth girl, have you forgotten our identity?" We are supporters of the Holy Maiden's Order, and we are at the disposal of the Holy Maiden's Order, and now that the Holy Maiden is suppressed in the forbidden land, how can my brother and I stand idly by? ”

"Yes, rescuing the Holy Maiden is the duty of our Holy Maiden Escort Team, we can ignore other things, but to save the Holy Maiden, we must do it!" The Seven Rings of the Dead have words.

I held my forehead, as if I really couldn't talk about them.

"Don't hesitate, hesitate, it's going to be dawn." Stygian reminded, "Let's go and open the way first, you follow." ”

After saying that, Stygian Seven and Hu Huilan disappeared into the white mist together, and they really went to the forbidden land.

I've been to the Forbidden Land more than once, and I still have vivid memories of the dangers inside, so how can I not worry about them?

The injuries on Hu Huilan's body are obviously not healed, although she is wearing a black night dress tonight, wrapped tightly, so that I can't see the injuries on her body, but I know it very well in my heart.

……

As soon as I stepped into the forbidden land, I immediately felt the temperature drop by several degrees, and I couldn't help but shiver.

I looked around and saw that Ming Qi and Hu Huilan were more than 500 meters away from me, slowly walking forward.

I hurriedly chased after me, and at that moment, an abrupt birdsong sounded overhead, and a sense of foreboding flashed through my mind.

The next moment, a large number of birds suddenly rose all around.

The birds, all as big as a house cat, flapped their wings around us in the middle, and their blood-red eyes stared at us.

At that time, I was still two or three hundred meters away from the Seven Immortals, and those birds were able to surround us, which showed how many there were.

When I finally recognized the birds as owls, my heart was even colder.

Owls are spiritualists, and encountering them in the middle of the night is not a good thing.

And on this forbidden land, there are so many owls at the same time, and by looking at their eyes, you can understand that these are not ordinary owls.

They also saw me, and slowly approached me, we were constantly shortening the distance between each other, and those owls were also shrinking the encirclement.

One floor, two floors, three floors, when I finally met with Hades Qi and Hu Huilan, those owls actually surrounded us in the third floor.

Roughly estimated, there are hundreds of these owls.

It was as if a tug-of-war had started between us, and the enemy would not move and I would not move.

Not long after we entered the forbidden land, at this time, we had to fight with these huge number of owls, which would not only consume a lot of mana, but more importantly, it would startle the snakes and cause some unnecessary trouble.

But you can't just stand there and stare at it until dawn, right?

I whispered, "What should I do with these owls?" ”

"Are you coming for me?" Hu Huilan said suddenly.

I looked at her at the same time as Stygian, and just wanted to comfort her, but I didn't expect him to point to his ankle and say, "I walked too much, the wound on my foot seems to have cracked, and it is estimated that it is bleeding, and the smell of blood attracts these owls." ”

This may not be impossible.

Hu Huilan continued: "In this way, our soldiers will be divided into two ways, I will lead these owls away, and you will continue to go up!" ”

"No way!"

"No, you can't!"

I spoke almost at the same time, and rejected Hu Huilan's proposal in the same way, and Styx Qi said: "At first, I asked you not to come, you have to come, since I promised you to come with me, I must ensure that I bring you back safely, no matter what, we can't be separated." ”

I don't know why, at such a dangerous moment, I even gave birth to the illusion that this passage of the Seven Dead seemed to be confessing to Hu Huilan.

I shook my head vigorously and threw out these untimely Fenghua Xueyue, and before I could speak, I heard Hu Huilan say: "It's just a group of relatively strong owls, I can't deal with it, you go first, I will catch up soon." ”

Hu Huilan said, took out a black flute from her cuff, held it in her hand and shook it, full of confidence.

When I saw this flute, I immediately remembered the night I was framed in the old mansion, Hu Yunxi used this flute to save me, her skills have been hidden, and she has never been revealed after living in the old mansion for so many years.

I can't estimate how much potential Hu Yunxi has, if she hadn't been attacked by Hu Jingyang, maybe until today, until this moment, I won't be sure that she is the junior sister of the Dead Seven.

Shen Qi snorted coldly and said: "Senior sister, everyone is a person with profound skills and mana, whether these owls are normal owls or not, we know better than you in our hearts, if I guess correctly, every owl here has at least one soul hidden in its body, with you alone, with one enemy and one hundred, do you think that even if you can beat them in the end, you can catch up with us alive?" ”

I was shocked by the words of the Dead Seven, those owls, aren't they the owls I imagined to have cultivated to the essence?

Hu Huilan was exposed by Shen Qi, and I didn't know what to say for a while, but at this time, Ming Qi suddenly reached out and pushed Hu Huilan towards me, and then strode towards the west.

I caught Hu Huilan with one hand, and as soon as I stood firmly, I heard a melodious flute sound.

The sound of the flute was clear, and the silence of the night was instantly torn apart, and the owls, as if bewitched by something, flew all in a swarm towards the west.

Hu Huilan sighed and said, "After so many years, my senior brother is still like this, always treating me as a child, spreading his wings and shielding me from the wind and rain. ”

"Sister Huilan, it's good to have such a senior brother." I said, "I'm sure Hades will take care of everything, and we can't live up to his kindness, so we have to rush up as soon as possible." ”

Now it's time for Hu Huilan to be surprised, I guess she didn't expect that I would really ignore the Seven Hells and let him go into danger alone, right?

I explained: "Sister Huilan, let's go, nothing will happen to the Seven of the Dead." ”

Hu Huilan raised her feet and walked quickly with me, and after walking a few steps, she couldn't help but ask, "How can you be sure that senior brother won't have an accident?" ”

I asked her rhetorically, "Have you forgotten how the Seven of the Dead Left the Fox Clan in the first place, and how they survived all these years?" ”

Hades Qi was originally taken away by Yan Tianqing, when he left the fox clan, two batches earlier than me, these years, he grew up with Yan Tianqing, although he is still a fox body, but even he himself is unwilling to admit the fact that he is a member of the fox clan, and has always insisted that his name is Hades Qi.

And Hades Seven is specially trained by Yan Tianqing in order to help me come back to save my mother, and he has the authority of the underworld on his body, according to Hades Qi, those owls should be transformed and cultivated by the unjust souls on this forbidden land, then, the essence of these guys is soul.

So, will these owls not be afraid of Hades?

Attacking Hades, or even killing Hades, is equivalent to a group of imps attacking the underworld, will it end well?

No matter how powerful these owls are, no matter how much they persecute Hades, they won't really let Hasty Qi die at the last moment!

What's more, Hades Seven itself is not weak, how to fight these things, he is better than me and Hu Huilan, and it is indeed the most correct choice for him to lure away those owls.

Hu Huilan and I thought as we walked up, and we didn't go far when the sound of the flute in the west direction stopped abruptly, and then we saw a burst of black smoke rising from the thin white mist, accompanied by a large mournful ghost crying wolf howl.

Hu Huilan and I paused at the same time, stood up, and stared straight at the west.
