Chapter XIX Decisions
When everyone came to the fairy fox station on the top of the mountain, the sun had already set in the west, and the dim yellow light shone on the buildings of Yashan, and the mottled wooden walls seemed to reveal a kind of twilight delay.
"That's what Artsan really looks like. Ten years ago, after that war, our people were completely lost. There is not one out of ten people in the whole tribe. ”
Hu Qianqian said a little lonely:
"He who was killed by the devil, by the righteous man, by his own people. The fairy fox clan ......"
Zero Benze and his party were silent, and they didn't know how to answer for a while. The atmosphere was slightly awkward. Luo Xiaoxin, who was sulking on the side, let go of the sulking in her heart for a while, woo wow, the fairy fox clan is too miserable, Luo Xiaoxin thought to herself. Hey, sure enough, single-celled people can't remember grudges.
"Sister Qian!" "Sister Sissi!"
The two little white foxes that had not changed their shapes ran out with a cute scream, and began to drag and crawl around holding Hu Qianqian's calves.
"Alright, alright. Don't make a fuss, there are guests. ”
Hu Qianqian instantly softened the sad expression on her face, and gently stroked the hair of the two little foxes. Two little foxes poked their heads out of their trouser legs.
"O human! Come on! ”
The two little foxes seemed to see some terrifying creature, and ran away in horror, and in the blink of an eye they ran back to their station.
"Well, I'm sorry, but their parents died in the Decade disaster."
Hu Qianqian reluctantly pulled out a smile and replied.
Luo Xiaoxin was already in tears, Zero Benze just sighed, Wang Jianyi and Murong Xiaoyue felt that their stomachs were starting to hurt. Can you move to the rescuers at such a pace!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside."
A tall, thin and muscular figure appeared in front of everyone, with a pair of eyes on his old face that had read all his life. Although his beard and hair are white, his waist is as straight as a mountain.
"Grandpa." Hu Qianqian bowed slightly and said respectfully. The four of them saluted together.
The person who came was none other than Hu Xu, the elder of the fairy fox clan.
----------------------------------- dividing line, I ----------------------------
Everyone was invited to the living room, and the only people present were Hu Qianqian's grandfather, Hu Xianqian and Hu Qianqian, the elders of the fairy fox family.
Hu Qianqian served hot tea to several people.
After three rounds of tea, Zero Benze also said the request of his group. Elder Fairy Fox still sat there quietly drinking tea without saying a word.
Wang Jian couldn't hold back his temperament, and asked directly:
"Elder Hu, I don't know what your opinion is."
Elder Hu spoke unhurriedly:
"Can our clan's lockdown be lifted? If it can be lifted, it is not impossible to ask our clan for help. ”
"Impossible!"
Murong Xiaoyue replied stiffly, it has only been ten years, and the residual grievances of various sects and factions have not disappeared. God knows what kind of chaos will happen to the Yashan fox clan in this life.
Zero Benze frowned and said:
"Elder Hu can't change his request."
Elder Hu's eyes seemed to flash, and he said:
"Can you give me the Yin-Yang Ruler?"
The faces of the four of them changed, and they all wondered in their hearts, why did they mention the yin and yang ruler, or did he know something.
Elder Hu looked at everyone's voices and said dumbly:
"I don't think I'll lose it."
Luo Xiaoxin said excitedly:
"Why do you know?"
Elder Hu said "um" for a moment:
"I'll just say it casually, it looks like it's really lost."
Hu Qianqian gave Luo Xiaoxin a flirtatious look. Luo Xiaoxin lowered her head in shame, thinking to herself, the fox is really cunning! This bad old man is very bad!
Zero Benze patted Luo Xiaoxin's head comfortingly and said:
"This is something that the Spiritualist Association has already reported, and sooner or later others will know about it."
"Master, woo woo!"
There is only a master in the world, Luo Xiaoxin was moved, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Hu Qianqian saw that Zero Benze was so protective of her apprentice, and she also "hummed" lightly.
"Can you ask for another one?"
Zero Benze asked cheekily.
"Eh, little brother, it's hard for me to do this......"
Elder Hu frowned slightly, touched his chin and said.
"Grandpa, don't be embarrassed!"
Hu Qianqian said angrily on the side, and Elder Hu had a rare expression on his face. The angry Hu Qianqian kicked him twice under the table in shame. Elder Hu's face was bitter, and then he said:
"Then do you have your exit order with you?"
Zero Benze replied, "With it." ”
"What about the number of years?"
“...... Three years. ”
“...... Okay, for the sake of all the gifts you bring to the children, I agreed. ”
"Thank you, Elder Hu."
The four of them thanked each other in surprise.
Hu Qianqian hurriedly said:
"Among the young fairy foxes of Yashan's generation, the strongest person is me, I will go with you."
Elder Hu looked at Hu Qianqian, who was happy with the four of them, shook his head, and sighed lightly in his heart, this is your own choice, it is your own calamity.
Elder Hu called Zero Benze to the front and said, "Well, the person who came out of the mountain decided that it was my granddaughter, can you guarantee that she is safe, Zero Benze." ”
"Really, Elder Hu. Sissi is grateful for going out of the mountain, and I will definitely protect her. But are you at ease? ”
Zero Benze said bluntly.
Elder Hu looked at his daughter who was happy on the side, and his mind was all on Zero Benze, and he was helpless in his heart. I'd like to keep her around, but I can't. Can't this wooden head learn from the little girl Murong next to her, looking at her dark belly, she obviously sees through it.
Elder Hu pursed his lips and replied, "Don't worry, put ten thousand hearts." Does the young man need to exercise, and she shouldn't be bound by this broken mountain. I'm old and don't want to see her stay here, but my heart yearns for the outside world. ”
Zero Benze nodded heavily and replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of her." ”
Elder Hu didn't say anything when he heard this, but just turned around and walked out of the living room. When he came to the door, he spoke:
"Sissi, you arrange for them to stay, and you can go with you tomorrow morning."
Hu Qianqian paused for a moment before replying:
"Yes, Father."
Elder Hu turned around and glanced at her meaninglessly, then turned around and left.
Hu Qianqian took a few people to the station to play with the untransformed and newly transformed children for a while, although the little foxes were very afraid of humans, but under the attack of gifts, they quickly played with everyone.
After playing for a while, it was completely dark, and after Hu Qianqian arranged for everyone to go to the place where they stayed, she also went back to the house.
Luo Xiaoxin and Murong Xiaoyue lived in the same house, and as soon as Murong Xiaoyue entered the door, she took out many bottles and cans from her bag and began to fiddle with various medicinal materials.
Luo Xiaoxin was puzzled:
"Sister Murong, what are you doing?"
Murong Xiaoyue didn't raise his head and said:
"Prepare some potions for battle."
As he spoke, he shook the small bottle in his hand and said:
"This is rosemary, and it can make people fall asleep in an instant. Of course, the effect on people with spiritual power is minimal. However, that base can't all be psychics, it's just a branch, I'll try to put ordinary people over with some potions, we still have too few people. ”
Sister Murong is so powerful, Luo Xiaoxin thought in her heart, I also have to do what I can, and then took out the cheats that Ling Benze gave her when she accepted the apprentice, and looked through it carefully.
As soon as Wang Jian returned to the room where he lived with Zero Benze, he looked at Zero Benze, who was meditating with his eyes closed, opened his mouth and said:
"Brother Zero, is this Yashan such a fox? I had just walked around the area, with no more than fifty foxes coming in and out of the wooden houses. ”
Zero Benze was silent for a while, and replied:
"That's right, there are only about 30 people in total, to be exact."
Wang Jian thought of the two little foxes when he first entered the station, they were so afraid of humans. Pursing his lips, he sat cross-legged on his bed without a hair, meditating with his eyes closed, condensing his sword intent.
With a flick of his fingers, Zero Benze extinguished the candle, closed his eyes and meditated again, recovering from his injuries. It's about to be a battle, so you can recover as much as you can, Zero Benze thought to himself.
Hu Qianqian's room.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door, Hu Qianqian was packing her bags, and replied directly:
"Come in."
Elder Hu pushed the door in, Hu Qianqian stopped, and asked in surprise:
"Grandpa? What's the matter at this late hour? ”
"Can't you come in if you're fine?"
The corners of Elder Hu's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile.
Hu Qianqian replied:
"No, what the hell is going on, you're so annoying."
Elder Hu scratched his head and said:
"Sissi, do you really like Zero Benze?"
Hu Qianqian lowered her head and began to pack her bags again, and replied:
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Your life is several times that of his, just because he saved you when he was a child, are you going to go with him? If you are later united, he will surely die in front of you, and you will accompany him to martyrdom? ”
Elder Hu tried to persuade him.
Hu Qianqian, who is usually responsible for liaising with the outside world, has never been able to step out of Yashan after the disaster ten years ago, and only maintains a minimum of contact with the regular personnel of the Spiritualist Association. The outside world is becoming more and more unfriendly to foxes, and Elder Hu is worried that his granddaughter will be injured, after all, her parents also died in the battle ten years ago.
"Grandpa, don't talk about it. I want to take a closer look at the world with my own eyes, and I want the fairy fox clan not to be bound to this mountain. ”
Hu Qianqian replied with a firm expression.
“...... Stay safe. ”
After Elder Hu finished speaking, he turned around and left, and he looked at her expression and knew that persuasion was meaningless.
"Tata ......"
The steps of the crossing are getting farther and farther away.
Hu Qianqian looked at his back and silently did not say anything.
The next day, everyone gathered in front of the Yashan Barrier.
Hu Qianqian said goodbye to the foxes who said goodbye one by one and walked to Zero Benze's side.
Zero Benze handed the token out of the mountain to Hu Qianqian, Hu Qianqian took it, and injected spiritual power into it.
The seal barrier surrounding Yasan leaked a man-high exit.
"See you in three years, everyone!"
Hu Qianqian shook her hand at the foxes who saw them off, and followed Zero Benze and his party into the distance.
Next stop, no man's land, Sanyueling.
