Hu Dingtang was so sure that those people would not betray Hu Qing'an, but when Hu Qing'an had an accident, those people didn't make a move, there are only two possibilities, one is that Hu Dingtang overestimated the loyalty of those people, and the other is that those people have something more important to protect than protecting Hu Qing'an.

Hu Qing'an is the patriarch of the fox clan, what else is more important than Hu Qing'an's life in the entire fox clan?

Forbidden?

No, it shouldn't be a forbidden place.

After all, I've been to the Forbidden Land more than once, and if those people were guarding the Forbidden Land, they wouldn't have failed to discover me, or wouldn't have intervened if they did.

What else is there besides the forbidden land?

After Hu Dingtang was asked by me, he was suddenly stunned, and from his eyes, I could see that he was probably thinking the same thing as me.

The two of them looked at each other with such big eyes, and after a while, Hu Dingtang suddenly said, "Ancestral tomb!" ”

I was stunned, yes, ancestral grave.

"It's broken!" Hu Dingtang stood up suddenly, and said anxiously, "Xiao Jiu'er, have you forgotten, what Hu Dingkun reminded us." ”

How could I forget that Hu Dingkun not only wanted us to be careful of Hu Liancheng, but also reminded us of our ancestral grave, but we ignored it.

No matter what species it is, the ancestral grave occupies a very important position for the luck of the entire ethnic group, not everyone is eligible to be buried in the ancestral grave after death, Hu Dingtang's father was not good back then, and the ashes were secretly brought in by Hu Qing'an.

And the people who can be buried in the ancestral grave of the fox clan are all people who have merit and strong cultivation skills in the main vein of the fox clan, and even if these people die, their merits can also bless future generations.

If someone has bad intentions and wants to do something in the ancestral tomb, once he succeeds, he will pull out the roots of the fox clan, which is no joke.

Therefore, before Hu Qing'an died, it is estimated that he had arranged for the group of dead soldiers in his hands to guard the ancestral tomb.

Hu Qing'an was killed by Hu Jingyang when he had an accident, so all the followers he left behind should at least guard against Hu Jingyang.

Hu Jingyang has been hit hard, will he hide in the ancestral grave? What about Hu Liancheng, is he also in the ancestral grave?

For a while, we couldn't see through it, and we couldn't guess about it, so I reached out and grabbed Hu Dingtang and said, "Don't be impulsive, the current situation is really affecting the whole body, or you should go to your aunt to explore the truth first?" ”

"Are you afraid that in this situation, my uncle and Hu Jingyang will hug each other?" Hu Dingtang asked.

I nodded: "There are no eternal enemies in this world, as long as the interests are related, it is not impossible to join forces temporarily." ”

"I ......" Hu Dingtang is still reluctant to take this step.

I know his feelings for his uncle's family, maybe he has questioned Hu Liancheng before, but in the face of such a principled issue, he still prefers to believe Hu Liancheng.

So I can't blindly provoke him with this, but retreat and say: "Hu Dingtang, who is our biggest enemy now?" ”

"Of course, it's the Mandala Flower Demon." Hu Dingtang replied.

I nodded: "Yes, in front of the Mandala Flower Demon, all other grievances can be put down first, Hu Jingyang is, and so is Hu Liancheng." ”

"I don't dare to directly define what kind of person Hu Liancheng is, whether he is good or bad, but now the entire fox clan, apart from you, who else can support the entire fox clan?"

"It's your uncle Hu Liancheng, so, no matter what his motives are, keeping the fox clan is extremely clear, but with the strength of Hu Liancheng alone, can it work? What if not? ”

Hu Dingtang finally calmed down: "I believe in my uncle, not only do I believe that Yunzhi has not appeared for so long, he must also be helping his uncle, and the dead man left by my grandfather may be with my uncle, maybe he is in the ancestral grave, if my uncle is misbehaved, it is impossible for so many people to support him." ”

I'm noncommittal, since I've been in contact with the fox clan and so many things have happened, I've found out that some people, without cutting open his chest, can never see whether his heart is red or black.

I was put on a role by Hu Liancheng, so I was very jealous of him, maybe this time I was emotional, but in today's situation, the more careful the better.

I hope that I think too much, I hope that Hu Liancheng is not what I thought, Hu Dingtang also needs a strong helper now, that is his uncle, and it would be better to have him standing behind Hu Dingtang.

Hu Dingtang finally said: "No matter what, I still have to go to my aunt's place to have a look, you just stay at home and wait for me, I will be back soon." ”

"Then be careful." I said, "Just be tempted, just look at what you say." ”

Don't startle the snake, I can't say that.

After Hu Dingtang left, I sat at the table, poured myself a cup of tea, found that the tea was cold, and put it back.

The whole person was a little restless, indescribable feeling, raised his eyes and looked out the window, it was dark, such a late night, especially terrifying.

At this time, Styx Qi came in, followed by Hu Huilan.

I quickly stood up, stepped forward, helped Hu Huilan sit down, and said, "Didn't you let you rest, you are very badly injured." ”

Hu Huilan shook her head and said, "How can you sleep at this time, I just want to come over and talk to you, maybe there will be a place to help you." ”

"You've helped me enough." I sincerely thank Hu Huilan, why didn't I find out that she was my person earlier.

Hu Huilan said sadly: "It's not enough, I could have done more, but unfortunately, Hu Jingyang's methods are better than me after all, and he actually pulled me out, and I stupidly fell into his trap and almost caused a catastrophe." ”

"After so many years, it's good that you can lurk and do so well, even my mother will be proud of you." Hu Huilan once said that my mother was kind to her, so it would be easier for her to accept my mother in her heart.

"I've been exposed, and it's useless to say more." Hu Huilan smiled bitterly and said, "But after all, I have been lurking in the old mansion for so many years, and I have come into contact with many people, and I have seen many people and things more thoroughly, so I still have a lot of say in some things." ”

Hu Huilan looked at me with burning eyes, and I immediately understood and asked, "Sister Huilan, you have been by Hu Liancheng's side for so many years, what kind of person do you think Hu Liancheng is?" ”

"Shrewd." Hu Huilan said, "Hu Liancheng can be said to have a close relationship with the fox clan for several generations, he is very good at pleasing people, whoever is in charge, he has a good relationship with whom, and at the same time does not offend others." ”

"It's all going to come at a price." I said.

I didn't know before, but judging from the two things of putting Hu Yunzhi under house arrest and pushing Hu Yunxi to Hu Dingqian, it is enough to see that this person is hard-hearted, and in order to achieve his goal, how can he be reassured that even his own children can be used?

Hu Huilan echoed: "Yes, there is a price to be paid for all this, but in the final analysis, it is he who has the means, and I have been following him for so many years, but I still haven't been able to understand him thoroughly." ”

"Even, I don't think even Madame Hu really knows her husband."

"The more such a person hides his desires, the more it shows that what he pursues is supreme." I concluded.

Hades Qi stood aside and didn't speak, but when I said this, his eyes changed significantly, and he looked at me with some meaning and said, "This is human nature. ”

Hu Huilan said: "But no matter what Hu Liancheng is, Hu Yunzhi and Hu Yunxi, these brothers and sisters are different. ”

"Yun Zhi Mansion is kind-hearted and has never done anything that hurts nature and reason, and although Yun Hee has a perverse personality, he is too simple, so he seems a little ...... contradictions, but even so, she's not a bad person. ”

"But during this time, Hu Yunzhi seems to have disappeared overnight, and I don't believe he was under house arrest again." I said.

"He is not under house arrest." Hu Huilan hurriedly said, "Since you left the old mansion, Yunzhi has actually not been idle, he has been going around between the elders in the old mansion, in order to give his third brother room to turn around, it can be said that his sincere heart towards Hu Dingtang can be learned from heaven and earth." ”

"Therefore, if he doesn't appear, there must be a reason why he doesn't appear, and he must have more important things to do."

Speaking of this, I had to ask, "What is the more important thing?" Did Hu Yunzhi act with Hu Liancheng? ”

"It's supposed to be together." Hu Huilan said, "They should be on the side of the ancestral tomb, but I'm not sure, because I was caught by Hu Jingyang on the way to follow Yunzhi." ”

Therefore, Hu Liancheng still went to the ancestral grave in the end.

Hu Huilan continued: "I know that you must be thinking now, why did Hu Liancheng go to the ancestral tomb, I can tell you this, it was the patriarch who entrusted Hu Liancheng to do this before he died. ”

"Is it the patriarch?" I was surprised.

"It's the patriarch." Hu Huilan said, "When the patriarch was in power, he always valued Hu Liancheng, and Hu Liancheng was Hu Dingtang's uncle in the end, and he once secretly helped the patriarch do a lot of things, and in the end, the only person the patriarch could entrust was him, right?" ”

Yes, who else but Hu Liancheng?

I really didn't know how to judge this matter for a while: "Sister Huilan, in your opinion, will Hu Liancheng really complete the task left by the patriarch?" ”

"I think maybe the patriarch doesn't care if he can complete the task." Hu Huilan said in a solemn tone.

I was stunned, Hu Huilan's words obviously had something to say.

It took me a while to slowly come back to my senses, and my heart was cold.

Hu Huilan is telling me that Hu Qing'an's choice is paving the way for the future of the entire fox clan.

Hu Qingan may not be unable to see through Hu Liancheng's ambitions, but in the end, he chose to hand over Hu Dingtang's final backup to Hu Liancheng, what is his intention?

He is testing Hu Dingtang, if Hu Dingtang can really be the king of the entire fox clan, then he will definitely be able to control Hu Liancheng, but if he can't control it, then he will not have the ability to manage the entire fox clan.

If Hu Dingtang is abandoned, there will only be one Hu Liancheng left in the entire fox clan?

Although he has ambitions, at least he is still on the side of the main line of the fox clan, which is much better than those evil sects.

Instead of giving up the power to those messy people, it is better to let Hu Liancheng be the patriarch of the fox clan, after all, he has been by Hu Qing'an's side for so many years, how he does things, Hu Qing'an is counting.

Hu Qing'an made such a decision, although it made me feel a little chilled at the moment when I understood all this, but when I calmed down, I could understand him.

He is different from us, he is the patriarch of the fox clan, this group, in his hands for millions of years, although there are many contradictions, but after all, it is still a whole, and he doesn't want to see this group finally fall apart.

Therefore, from his standpoint, he wants to protect Hu Dingtang, but he also wants to protect the entire fox clan, he is rational and can make such a decision after extracting his personal feelings, which can be seen his ability.

He was indeed a very qualified patriarch.

But what I'm worried about now is that Hu Liancheng knows Hu Qing'an's tendency best, since he has the hope of becoming the king and hegemon, why should he be a subordinate?

Survival of the fittest, Hu Liancheng will definitely not let himself be the one who is eliminated, not to mention, he also has a son, compared to his nephew, it is better to be closer to his own son, right?

I shook my head vigorously, not wanting to think about it anymore, because there are exceptions to everything, maybe Hu Liancheng is a selfless and noble person?

After calming down slightly, I asked again: "Sister Huilan, in your opinion, is it possible for Hu Liancheng and Hu Jingyang to join forces?" ”

"It's absolutely impossible to join forces, but if it's a use, it's possible." Hu Huilan said, "I know that Hu Jingyang has been hit hard by you, and he can't become too big, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are still a lot of people left in his hands, if he can be co-opted, it is a good choice." ”

I was silent, and my heart turned a thousand times, but I couldn't think of a way to help Hu Dingtang test Hu Liancheng with the best of both worlds.

At this time, Hu Huilan pointed to the wrench on my finger and asked me, "What about you?" When are you going to save the Holy Maiden? ”

I stroked my finger and said worriedly: "I don't think about saving my mother all the time, but saving her is not easy to say, there is no perfect certainty, if we shoot casually, it is likely to lead to an enemy in the abdomen and back." ”

"But you have to save it." Hu Huilan said, "Now that flower demon is becoming more and more rampant, from the time he was suppressed to now, what kind of cultivation has he relied on to become stronger and stronger in such a long period of time?" In addition to things like his own cultivation method, there is only a saint left, right? ”

What Hu Huilan means is that for so many years, my mother has been treated as nourishment and has been supplying the cultivation of the Mandala Flower Demon, during this period of time, things have intensified step by step, and the Mandala Flower Demon wants to make all preparations to break out of the seal, so she must speed up the process of cultivation, and this is a lifeline for my mother.

I have to rescue my mother before I can find out the mandala flower demon, otherwise, in the end, I may be beaten with chickens and eggs, and nothing will be accomplished.

Before Hu Dingtang went to test his aunt, I was determined to get everything done before I would go to the forbidden place to find a way to save my mother, but now, listening to Hu Huilan's analysis, I suddenly realized that maybe my idea was wrong.

If you can get it for nothing, why did Hu Liancheng make a move?

The snipe and the clam competed, and he Hu Liancheng could just hide and wait for the result.

He relied on the ancestral tomb, but the merit consumption of the ancestral tomb was a little less, it was not something that could be used casually, and he couldn't watch the luck of the fox clan being consumed little by little, if the luck was gone, what was the point of desperately trying to grab the position of the patriarch?

Therefore, the idea of first inward and then excluded went in the wrong direction from the beginning.

Inside, there is such a big hidden danger waiting inside, people's hearts are not aligned, and they have become a plate of loose sand first, what else to touch with the mandala fox demon?

"So, we have to go to the forbidden land first?" I speak my final thoughts.

Hu Huilan nodded and said, "At least I think it should be like this." ”

Hades Qi also said: "If you can save the Holy Maiden, then the next thing will be solved." ”

The Holy Maiden of the Fox Clan is the most popular special existence within the entire Fox Clan, and the Fox Clan people have faith in the Holy Maiden, even if my mother has been wronged, but as long as she is there, she can deter everything.

At that time, even if Hu Liancheng is helpless, he can't say what flowers are coming.

I reached out to hold Hu Huilan's somewhat cold little hand, and said, "Now that the Dementor Banner and the Soul Suppression Banner have merged, it can be regarded as the time to save my mother." ”

"No, not yet." Hu Huilan said, "Your ability is not enough to withstand the backlash of the Qiankun Earth Evil Talisman, you must increase your weight." ”

After Hu Huilan finished speaking, she said that she was tired and had to go back to rest, so let me think about it again.

After Ming Qi left with Hu Huilan, I put my hand close to the lamp and looked carefully at the wrench on my hand.

I suddenly remembered that when I didn't know who the Soul Suppression Banner was, Uncle Zhang actually said something similar to me.

What Uncle Zhang said at the time was that I needed to prick something with yin and yang needles on the dementor banner and the soul suppression banner respectively in order to give full play to their maximum effect.

Yin and Yang Needle?

I reached behind my ear, but I found that I couldn't touch it.

It seems that since my soul was re-injected into my true body, I have never used the Yin-Yang Needle again, and I don't even know when the Yin-Yang Needle disappeared.

Could it be that the yin and yang needle is still on the corpse of the real Meng Jiusheng?

No, it's not right.

The Yin Yang Needle was born from the essence of all things in heaven and earth, this thing is a spiritual thing, how can it follow the body of a dead man?

I turned to look at the lines engraved on the wrench, how was my birth date engraved on the wrench? What did Yan Tianqing use to help me establish a relationship with this wrench?

I didn't understand it before, but now, I seem to have the answer in my heart.
