Supernatural events happen every day, so there are many supernatural stories in this world, whether they are abroad or at home, whether in modern society or in the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago. It seems that hauntings do not distinguish between time and place, let alone the capital city or remote suburbs.

Xing Ruyi stood in the small courtyard, searching every corner of the courtyard, and everywhere he looked, he could always find something that made you feel very gloomy. If you open the ghost, you will see a pile of white bones, both human and animal, buried deep in the earth. A few bones will still be stained with some sporadic ghost breath, but most of them have dissipated in this world.

"What do you think he will be?"

Xing Ruyi turned around and looked at the fox. The fox looked up at the sky lazily, and the sky was so dark that he could not see the moon or the stars.

"Do you know gluttony?"

The fox finally finished looking at the sky, a pair of beautiful fox eyes, and looked at Xing Ruyi softly: "It is a mysterious monster in your human myths and legends, and it has been recorded in an ancient book called the Classic of Mountains and Seas, saying that it is a sheep's body and human face, but its eyes are under the armpits. The teeth are like a ferocious tiger, but they have a pair of hands. It has a large head and a large mouth, and is greedy and loves to eat. In the words of later generations, this gluttony is a complete foodie. ”

"You mean, the shopkeeper of this black shop is a glutton?"

"There's a breath of it, but it's not very certain yet." The fox said, moving his wrist for a moment, "If it is, it will be great." Tens of thousands of years ago, our nine-tailed fox clan once fought with a glutton, and lost badly. Of course, it is also to blame that the nine-tailed fox's skills are too shallow, and he lost the face of our nine-tailed fox clan in vain, and as a result, Qingqiu used this as a laughing stock and mocked him for many years. If he is really gluttonous, I would like to compare with him. ”

Xing Ruyi lowered his head, looked at his toes, and said: "Obviously, you can't hold it yourself, you want to find someone to fight, and what do you say to find face for the nine-tailed fox clan." You tell the truth, the ancient gods who remained in this world have almost disappeared. ”

"It's almost gone!" The fox sighed, and looked at Xing Ruyi with a strange look in his eyes: "Do you know why? ”

"Why?" Xing Ruyi asked curiously, with a vague sense of foreboding, and it seemed that what he was going to say from the fox's mouth later was definitely not a good answer.

"Because of you humans!" The fox staggered his eyes: "Man is the chief of all things, not only because his intelligence surpasses that of most animals, but also because of his strong ability to reproduce and learn. With the development of human society, human beings are also constantly expanding their territory, and the space suitable for animals to grow is getting narrower and narrower, so many of them have been extinct. ”

"! The Buddhists have said it, **. People have humanity, and God has God, even if we mortals expand our territory, it won't affect where you immortals live, right? ”

"Does it really not affect?" The fox asked rhetorically, his eyes burning.

Xing Ruyi was speechless all of a sudden, because she instantly thought of Qingqiu, the fox's hometown, and a beautiful place that had been recorded by the Book of Mountains and Seas. But that kind of out-of-world space has also fallen apart because of the continuous progress of human society. Fox, as the last fox emperor of Qingqiu, was not only ousted from power by the "glorious", but even scarred by the toss.

The fox saw through Xing Ruyi's thoughts, and didn't speak, but hugged her directly: "It's okay, I think it's good now." Everything in this world has two sides, yin and yang, whether it is the nine-tailed fox clan or other gods, although they have a lifespan of thousands or tens of thousands of years, they have to go through the catastrophe and their reproduction is limited.

You know? I am the last of our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's White Emperor lineage, my father and queen mother, who have worked hard for nearly a thousand years, before I have me. The Buddhas in the sky, although they are not old or dead, are not born or die, but they can only wander among the mountains and clouds all day long. A hundred years may feel fresh, five hundred years, or it may feel good, but when a thousand or two thousand years have passed, they will also be tired of the kind of immortal days of idleness. As a result, those who have relationships fall back into reincarnation, and those who have no relationships dissipate into heaven and earth by themselves.

Ruyi, in fact, there are not so many immortals in the sky. First, it is because there are fewer offerings to human beings, and secondly, they can't bear loneliness, reincarnation, dissipation, and those who are left behind are either used to living lonely days, or they have a reason to stay.

On the other hand, you humans are naturally aggressive, you like to explore territory, you like to fight, but strangely enough, you know the need to cooperate and survive together. Therefore, despite the constant fighting, deaths and injuries of your human beings for thousands of years, you can still allow more and more human beings to multiply, and squeeze less and less space for other living beings to live. With the continuous progress of the times, goblins and ghosts began to live among humans again as they did when the heavens and earth first opened.

Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether I can be the fox emperor or not. Thinking about it now, maybe they were right, clinging to the last water and soil on the side of Qingqiu, for us, maybe it was the real destruction. ”

It was rare to hear the fox say so many words, Xing Ruyi writhed uncomfortably in his arms, and then tapped his shoulder with his hand and said, "Fox, are you sentimental too?" ”

The fox sneered, and he said, "When you are old, you will inevitably be sentimental. But you, what are you going to do? ”

"Drag Master Xie up from the ground first, and then go see what that gluttony wants to do? By the way, what you just said, is it true that there was a fight between your Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and Glutton? ”

"Anyway, the genealogy of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is recorded by that name. I just don't know, is this gluttony the same one? ”

"Could it be that the gluttony lives longer than you nine-tailed foxes? After all, your ancestors have all entered the realm of Heavenly Dao unity one by one. Xing Ruyi said, sticking out his tongue.

The fox shook his head: "Gluttony is too mysterious, and what the world knows is only a few, so I can't answer your question." As for the nine-tailed fox clan, the original lifespan is also extremely long, if you want to, you can not live or die. But because of a mistake of our ancestors, we were deprived of this ability by Nuwa Niangniang, and even if we cultivate hard, we will only live for thousands of years. Not only that, the longer you live, the more powerful the catastrophe you have to endure, and many ancestors, because they are afraid of the catastrophe, would rather find a relationship and live as a human being. Otherwise, how could our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan have such a good relationship with Hades. ”

"The thing you said couldn't be the one recorded in the Romance of the Gods, right? The nine-tailed fox was ordered by Nuwa Niangniang to destroy Yin Shang, but he pretended to be clever and tried to use beauty to seduce the king, and he also went on a killing spree, killing many loyal ministers and good generals, but was killed by Jiang Ziya! ”

The fox showed a rare stunned look, he looked at Xing Ruyi, smiled bitterly, and said, "You human stories, that's how you write them?" ”

"It's not a canonical history, it's not even a wild history, it's a book at best. But you also know that I'm not a good student, and I really can't be interested in the kind of Yin Shang history that can be finished in a few words, but here, I can still read it. Of course, TV series are watched more. ”

"King Su is not a faint king, at least he is not the kind of faint monarch mentioned in the Romance of the Gods, as for my ancestors, confusion may be there, because this is the nature of the nine-tailed fox, but there is no torture and killing loyal ministers and good generals. On the contrary, she also helped King Su do a lot of things, which can be regarded as benefiting the country and the people. ”

"In this case, why does Nuwa Niangniang severely punish you nine-tailed fox clan? Could it be that it's because your ancestors didn't confuse the king of Zhou, didn't let the king indulge in women, and the regime **? ”

"Nuwa Niangniang didn't let my ancestors confuse the king! The reason why she stayed by the king's side was because she was in love with that man. At that time, people were afraid of yokai, but they also worshipped them. Many demons actually live among the common people and are regarded as immortals with immortal spells. My ancestors, too. According to historical records, King Bowen is wide-sighted, quick in thinking, tall in stature, and has excellent arm strength. As the saying goes, beauty loves heroes, so it seems reasonable that my ancestors fell in love with him.

It has been recorded in the historical records that the king of Xuan once conquered Dongyi, opened up the territory to the current southeast generation, and developed the Yangtze River basin. At that time, Dongyi often launched attacks on the Shang Dynasty and took a large number of people as slaves, which was a threat to the Shang Dynasty. Emperor Yi, the father of the Emperor, fought a great battle with Dongyi, but did not win. After King Su ascended the throne, he cast a measuring weapon and personally led a large army to go out, but as a result, all the departments of Dongyi united to resist, but they could not stop the offensive of King Zhou. ”

"Since the king is not a faint king, then why is there a king of martial arts?"

"The so-called history is written by the victors, but it is written with a little exaggeration. The king of Su has been fighting all year round, and when he reaches middle age, he has already fallen into injuries. My ancestors, in order to save his life, also did a lot of things, probably a little more ruthless, so there are those folk rumors, and there are also the so-called romances in your mouth. In the end, she also affected the nine-tailed fox clan because of this incident. But what exactly did she do in the end? Not even in the genealogy of our nine-tailed fox clan. ”

"Having said all this, you haven't told me what the reason for the fight between your nine-tailed fox clan and gluttony is."

"Gluttony is delicious, and everything in this world that can be eaten must be tasted. I don't know where it heard it, saying that our nine-tailed fox clan has delicious meat, so I coveted it and came to Qingqiu to catch a fox who was practicing in the wild. Then he didn't care about it, so he set up a wooden shelf on Qingqiu and put the fox on it to roast.

The fox, who had not known the gluttony at first, saw that he was behaving strangely, and wanted to see what he was going to do. As a result, the fire burned to the tail, and I realized that the fire set off by this gluttony was not an ordinary fire, and I was angry that the fur was burned, so I fought with it. During the struggle, knowing that this gluttony actually wanted to roast himself and eat it, can you not fight while fighting? ”

"And what about the end? This fox, was it eaten by gluttony? ”

The fox blackened his face and said, "Of course not!" ”

Xing Ruyi suddenly had an epiphany, let out a long sigh, and said, "I know, that fox is actually a white fox, it's your ancestor, right?" ”

The fox glanced at Xing Ruyi, turned around, and didn't say a word.
