45. What are you afraid of
No matter how I resisted, Hu Dingtang still insisted on taking me out, and along the way, we left Lin'an City and headed north.
After I borrowed and reborn, the farthest place I went to was Lu Mansion in Lin'an City, and I was unfamiliar with everything outside.
"Hu Dingtang, where are you going to take me?" I couldn't help but ask, but at that time, I actually realized that the place he took me to should not be the Yin Division.
After all, in the yang world, if you want to go to the underworld, you can't just rush like this.
"It's a little far." Hu Dingtang said, "Don't ask, maybe when you get over there, you will naturally know what kind of place it is." ”
I didn't ask, I didn't think about struggling, I just let him lead me along the way.
Hu Dingtang's speed was very fast, but it still took us more than two hours to stop on a hillside.
"Further up, we're coming." Hu Dingtang explained, "We don't have to show up, just take a look at the marginal area, and you don't make a noise, otherwise, you will bear the consequences." ”
I wanted to say at the time, I didn't want to come by myself, you arrested me, and you still have so many demands on me, if you are afraid of being discovered, let's leave now.
But I didn't dare to say it after all, so I nodded, and Hu Dingtang took me up a big tree that was hugged by three people.
The tree was so tall that we hid it in the branches, and when we looked down, we saw a village not far away.
It is said that it is a village, and the houses are much better than those I have seen, with blue bricks and red tiles, a total of seven or eight rows, neatly arranged.
At that time, when I saw this house, I was a little surprised, because judging from the houses, this village is not poor, a village hidden in the mountains and dense forests, how did it live so richly?
From time to time there were people walking around the village, and from time to time some animals appeared, and when I saw those animals clearly, I was immediately shocked: "Fox? ”
turned to look at Hu Dingtang and said, "This is a group of foxes? ”
Hu Dingtang didn't speak, but I was already sure of my thoughts, and Hu Dingtang wouldn't bring me here for no reason.
This village is too secretive, if you weren't particularly familiar with this area, you might not have found such an existence at all, but Hu Dingtang brought me here, but it was a familiar road.
Here, it should be the place where Hu Dingtang grew up since he was a child, it is the lair of this fox fairy, and the people living in it should be Hu Dingtang's relatives, but I already knew before that Hu Dingtang and his family did not get along.
I don't understand why he brought me to the fox clan, and what does this have to do with me?
"Confess, Meng Jiusheng." Hu Dingtang suddenly turned his head to look at me and said.
I was confused: "Confess what?" ”
"Your background, the real background!" Hu Dingtang said.
What is the real background?
Don't......
My eyes widened suddenly, in the days of the Yin Division, everyone said that I was picked up by the Hades, and I have fox genes in my body, I have always wanted to figure out my life experience, is it that I was born in this fox group, abandoned, and picked up by the Hades?
But, all this is my secret, Hu Dingtang doesn't know this, can he read people's memories?
I was noncommittal, and I was not willing to be manipulated by Hu Dingtang like this, so I flatly denied it: "Hu Dingtang, please don't sell it to me, okay?" What is my background, didn't you send someone to investigate it in the morning? ”
"I was born in Lin'an Town, and I have been dependent on my grandmother for 18 years, mainly buying shrouds as the main livelihood, and my grandmother will also help the big guys to see feng shui on weekdays, that's all."
"That's all?" Hu Dingtang squinted his eyes and looked at me, obviously not believing what I said, "Then may I ask, why did you be stupid and stupid before, but suddenly became so ...... Experienced? ”
"I said, in order to survive, I pretended to be stupid before." I continue to lie.
"Huh!" Hu Dingtang sneered and said, "Then may I ask, why is there a fox Neidan in your ordinary body?" And according to my observation, the mana of that Neidan is not much weaker than mine? ”
"Fox Inside...... Nedan? I was stupid at the time, I stretched out my hand and kept touching my body, and asked Hu Dingtang, "Where is Neidan?" In the head? In the chest? In the dantian? ”
Meng Jiushang is just a poor little fool who grew up slowly under the love of her grandmother, as Hu Dingtang said, how can such a little girl have the Nedan of the fox?
This Inner Pill is mine, and it was formed by me in the Yin Division Bureau for so many years of cultivation, but after the Seven Thunder Tribulations were defeated, my true body was gone, and only a trace of remnant soul was attached to Meng Jiusheng's body and survived.
When a person dies and his soul is gone, Neidan or something, naturally no longer exists, how can he appear in Meng Jiusheng's body again?
But if not, why did Hu Dingtang say that?
And also...... There is also the Yin Yang Needle, how did it appear on Meng Jiushang's body?
A series of questions made my head bigger, but I still couldn't get the result, but over there, Hu Dingtang said: "Pretend to be stupid, you Meng Jiushang has always been good at it, you don't want to admit it, right?" I have a way to get you to confess your ancestors. ”
Hu Dingtang said, grabbed my collar, lifted me up, and was about to throw it towards the village.
"Since you are a member of the fox clan and can cultivate a strong inner dan, then you must have walked out of the fox clan's lair, as long as you show up now, someone should be able to recognize you."
"No, Hu Dingtang, don't be like this, I'm not from here, and I don't know what Neidan you're talking about, I'm just a person, not a fox as you said."
I'm scared, even if I have doubts in my heart, but I can't let Hu Dingtang mess around.
At the beginning, those rumors in the Yin Division Bureau said that I was thrown in a snowdrift and was almost out of breath, and I was picked up by the passing Hades, so if this rumor is true, why did my parents throw me away back then?
If I had been born in the village below, and I had suddenly reappeared in the village now, would I have been ostracized again if I was recognized?
More importantly, I remembered Hu Dingtang's words, he said that it didn't match.
Ordinary people's bodies carry the inner pill with profound mana, and the secret art that I know is so powerful, once I am investigated, it is very likely that the person who framed me in the Yin Division Bureau will catch the news that I am still alive, then at that time, how sad will my life be?
I couldn't expose it, I grabbed Hu Dingtang tightly with both hands, and begged: "Please let me go, I really don't know anything, maybe it's destined." ”
"Meng Jiusheng, are you fooling a three-year-old child?" Hu Dingtang said, "Now you only have two choices, one, confess your life experience to me, and two, I will throw you down and find out your life experience in person!" ”
Hu Dingtang said very resolutely, I can understand him, after all, he wants to keep me by his side, if he doesn't figure out my origin, it will be a hidden crisis for him, not to mention, he suspects that I am from the fox clan base camp, and he has been at odds with the fox clan base camp for a long time.
I struggled for a long time, and finally compromised: "Hu Dingtang, you are right, I am not of the same origin as this body. ”
"My original real body is indeed a fox, with a very high level of cultivation, a yin and yang needle, and particularly superb embroidery skills, but I didn't grow up from the fox tribe below, and I don't even know where I come from."
"I did something wrong, suffered a thunderstorm, and my soul was scattered, but I don't know why, a wisp of remnant soul attached to Meng Jiusheng's body and unexpectedly survived."
"The night you were buried alive in a mass grave?" Hu Dingtang looked at me with a frown.
I nodded: "Yes, that night, if it weren't for my remnant soul attached to Meng Jiushang's body, none of us would have survived." ”
When I say this, I am reminding Hu Dingtang that I pulled him up from under the pile of corpses in the first place, hoping that he can appreciate this and let me go.
Hu Dingtang was silent for a while before saying, "Should I believe your words?" ”
"Actually, your worries are completely unfounded." I said, "After I borrowed the rebirth, I didn't feel the existence of an inner pill in my body at all, and this inner pill of mine was imprisoned, and I may not be able to open it in this life." ”
I paused, then looked at Hu Dingtang very seriously and said: "I never wanted to be involved with you, you had to drag me into this whirlpool, but now you suspect me, aren't you ridiculous?" ”
Hu Dingtang was speechless for a while, frowning as if considering what I said, I continued: "If you are really so jealous, just drive me away, I don't want to stay in Lin'an City, if it weren't for my grandmother being detained by you all the time, we would have left a long time ago." ”
"It's impossible to leave." Hu Dingtang said, reached out and picked up the broken hair from my ear, pinned it behind my ear, and then stroked my cheek again, and said, "Even if you are a spy sent by the fox clan, I have a way to tame you." ”
"Then I'll have to wait and see." I said.
Hu Dingtang's purpose of bringing me here has actually been achieved, and he put his arm around my waist and wanted to jump me off the tree, but he never thought that just when our feet landed, a faint voice suddenly sounded: "Jiu'er, Jiu'er." ”
I froze and looked back, trying to see who was shouting 'Jiu'er', but when I turned around, there was nothing.
As if he hadn't heard any sound, Hu Dingtang continued to walk forward with me, I raised my foot, and the voice sounded again: "Jiu'er, my Jiu'er." ”
I don't know why, it wasn't loud, but every time I called, it seemed to penetrate my body, and my nose began to pantothenic.
"What's wrong with you?" Hu Dingtang finally noticed that something was wrong with me and asked.
"Didn't you hear?" I asked.
Hu Dingtang shook his head: "What did you hear?" I was suspicious all day, and I didn't hear anything. ”
"Oh, that might be me hallucinating, let's get out of here as soon as possible." I said.
Hu Dingtang took me away, and behind him, the voice kept accompanying him: "Jiu'er, don't go, Jiu'er is back, come back." ”
But I never looked back, because it was already dawn and we were in the middle of the jungle, and it was easy to be exposed.
Hu Dingtang sent me back to the shroud shop and left, I know that he may ask people to check my life experience in more detail, whatever he tosses, if he can find the underworld, find the Yin Division, I admire him.
I thought it was just a small episode, but in the next few days, I would go to Mrs. Wu from time to time, she was named Hu Dingtang's younger brother, and there were really many people who came to her to see things.
Mrs. Wu knows some spells, and her cultivation skills are not bad, she can still cope with ordinary small things, and she won't bother me at all, I stay in her shop all day during the day, but once it is night, I start to worry.
Since the day Hu Dingtang took me to see the fox nest, I would dream every night, and in the dream, a woman's voice kept calling me: "Jiu'er, Jiu'er......"
For three days in a row, night after night, I woke up from my dream and was covered in sweat and could not sleep again.
No, did anyone call me that day, and who called me? I have to figure out what my purpose is, otherwise it will seriously affect my life.
It was Hu Dingtang who took me there that day, and he used a strong internal force to take me with him, and his feet were very fast, although I also had a little internal force in my body, but it was far from enough.
Therefore, I didn't have the impulse, stayed up until dawn, went to Xiao Jinyu's place, and borrowed a carriage from him, Xiao Jinyu kept asking me what I was borrowing a carriage for, and I wanted to give me a coachman, and I wanted to send it to me personally, but I refused one by one.
In the evening of the same day, I set up a carriage and drove the carriage out of Lin'an City and up the mountain according to the route that Hu Dingtang took me in my memory.
When the carriage stopped halfway up the mountain, I was dumbfounded, for I couldn't find the fox's nest at all.
Yes, how could such an existence be casually revealed to everyone?
There must be a layer of enchantment outside the fox lair, and now I can't find the edge of the connecting realm, and I want to turn around and go back in frustration.
But at this time, the voice sounded again: "Jiu'er." ”
"Who are you?"
"Are you calling me?"
"Do you know me?"
I asked a bunch of questions, but the voice didn't answer my questions, but suddenly said, "Don't come back, Jiu'er, go farther, the farther the better, don't come back." ”
"Why? Who are you? I asked.
"It's good that you're alive."
"He is still reluctant in the end, I know he will not be reluctant."
"Go back, kid, hide far away, don't get involved with the fox clan any longer."
After saying this, no matter how much I encouraged her to come out and speak, she was silent.
……
On the way back to the carriage, I kept thinking about what the woman had said, and I couldn't understand it.
She calls me Jiu'er, which is inexplicably similar to my code name and Meng Jiusheng, so it can be said that she may really know me.
Who is that 'he'? What is he reluctant to give?
Could it be ...... 'he' my father?
She asked me to stay away from the fox clan again, obviously my real body was originally a fox, why can't I just recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors?
Everything filled me with curiosity.
The idea of finding my life has been lingering in my mind for hundreds of thousands of years, is this a breakthrough for me?
But I can't enter the fox clan alone, but what if I follow Hu Dingtang?
No matter what grievances he has with the fox clan's lair, he is still from there, and sooner or later he will have to go back, if he can take me with him at that time, how good?
I was thinking about it here, the horse in front of me was suddenly startled, the whole carriage followed by a bump, I was shocked to hold the reins, in front, someone had already run over in a hurry, opened his mouth and said urgently: "Miss Meng, why are you here?" You're bold enough! ”
"I ......," I didn't know how to explain to him, but after a second thought, I asked, "Well, can I ask you something?" ”
"I don't agree." Hu Yunzhi said, he had already jumped into the carriage, and he didn't ask me what I asked him for, and directly refused, "Let's get out of here quickly, and you must remember in the future, don't run around alone, this is not a place for you to come." ”
"Why can't I come? Isn't this your lair? I asked knowingly.
"Third brother, what's the trouble, why did you bring you here?" Hu Yunzhi said with annoyance.
"Hu Yunzhi, what grievances does your third brother have with the fox clan?" I asked tentatively, "Is it because he is so powerful, jealous, and squeezed out?" ”
Hu Yunzhi shook his head: "If that's the case, the third brother won't leave the fox clan, Miss Meng, over the years, the third brother has really suffered." ”
When Hu Yunzhi said this, he glanced at me meaningfully, and then said: "The third brother will not have bad intentions towards Miss Meng, and I also hope that if the third brother needs Miss Meng to help one day, Miss Meng will not shirk it." ”
"Hu Yunzhi, since your third brother can bring me here, it means that he has expectations for me, so," I stared at Hu Yunzhi and asked, "Can you tell me, what difficulties does your third brother have?" ”
Hu Yunzhi didn't speak, frowned and drove the carriage, this is the downhill road, the horse is running quite fast, Hu Yunzhi's hand holding the reins, the green tendons are bulging, I don't know if the reins are too hard, or I am struggling with how to answer my question.
I then said, "Maybe I should ask you, why is your third brother so fragile on the fifteenth day of every month?" ”
As soon as my words fell, Hu Yunzhi pulled the reins violently, and the horse immediately stopped, and I almost didn't roll off the carriage.
Hu Yunzhi pulled me, and when I sat down, I saw a row of fiery red things standing not far in front of the carriage.
I frowned, and Hu Yunzhi cursed in a low voice: "Damn, I'm really afraid of something!" ”
