Chapter 57: Qiu Niang
Zhao Qiuniang was humming a song she had just heard on the side of the road in the bathtub, playing with those crystal clear bubbles with her tail, she was lying in the warm water like the most ordinary girl, letting the fragrant smell diffuse around her, warming her fur and being satisfied.
For a thousand years, there was no day or night in that small stone coffin that did not see the light of day, and she did not know the cold or heat, she could feel her vitality disappearing little by little, and the aura in her body was constantly withdrawn under the action of the four prison spirit locks, and was given to the stupa built above the seal for use.
She had to put her body into a state of suspended animation, hoping to survive this dark prison with no end in sight.
She had woken up twice, the first time when the imprisoned lock, which was constantly draining her aura, had lost its effect, allowing her to slowly regain her strength, and the second time when the stupid grave robber had brought her her first blood feed in a long time.
But she was so desperate because of her extreme hunger and thirst that she forgot that she should confuse him and let him trick more people into this underground palace.
Extreme self-reproach and despair accompanied her for hundreds of years, and the small hole that brought the fresh breath of the outside was clogged up year after year, but God finally did not abandon her, and sent her enough blood and food to help her get out of here.
But she didn't expect that the world had undergone such a huge change during the time she was asleep, those strange weapons whistling from a distance could almost be compared to the fire resistance skills of the warlocks of the Tang Heavenly Machine Palace, and the terrible objects that finally fell from the sky even reminded her of the monk who defeated her in the first place. Luckily, she hid in the dungeon just in time to avoid its power.
From the interrogation of Meng Xuan, she knew that this thing was a terrible weapon called a cloud burst bomb, but fortunately, because the power was too great, they didn't dare to release it in the crowd.
There are no more powerful cultivators in the world, as long as they keep hiding in densely populated places, no one should be able to threaten them, right?
But deep down, there was a longing in her heart, and this millennia of despair not only did not weaken it, but made it swell without limit.
The Sky Fox Clan is not a very strong demon clan, but they have a unique talent, even if no one teaches them, the powerful talent contained in their bodies can make them evolve again and again, have more tails, and eventually become a nine-tailed Sky Fox that can be proud of any cultivator.
But the curious and adventurous nature of the fox people makes them unwilling to hide in the corners of this world and spend their years in obscurity.
"If it's bleak, what's the point of living a long life?"
She could never forget the peerless grace she had seen when she was younger, when she was even a poor worm with only one tail.
That woman is the legend of the Sky Fox clan, not only the first ten-tailed Sky Fox to be talked about forever, but also the first woman to successfully enter the world, and even almost pushed her loved one to truly conquer the whole world.
Although at that time, the human world was not much bigger.
But she was co-strangled by them because she touched the interests of too many sects and too many demon clans on the road to conquer everything, and the funny thing is that when countless sects turned to dust in her fierce counterattack, when those who ate the ancient and the stubborn were ruthlessly killed by her, when those who resisted were sent to the altar in batches, the king of the world began to fear, and under the bewitchment of those despicable and shameless speculators, he set a trap with his own hands and killed this woman who gave everything for him with the most powerful and fierce poison.
Her name was maliciously scandalized, and many crimes that didn't exist at all were placed on her head, making her the laughing stock of the demon clan. But the man did not wait for the result he wanted, and the princes who swore their swears and the monks who swore poisonous oaths with their Dao hearts betrayed one after another, and the powerful dynasty she had set up quickly collapsed and disappeared.
For the first time, the Sky Fox Clan became the target of public criticism and was almost destroyed.
But the strange thing is that the surviving Sky Fox can't help but be attracted by her power, and they have taken a similar trajectory to her again and again.
Zhao Qiuniang herself is the same, she spent her childhood in a daze, and then followed the elders of the clan to sneak into the world again and again, trying to change the fate of the Sky Fox clan, causing trouble in the world, or setting things right, almost every powerful Sky Fox will try to cross the shadow of that person, but this may be the curse of their fate, even if occasionally someone hides from the world and becomes the most noble woman in the world, but it is always difficult to escape the fate of falling halfway.
She witnessed defeat after failure, experienced flight after flight, and was angry at the stupidity and failure of those ancestors in her clan, and silently told herself in her heart that she would never make the same mistake. But when she met that person herself, she, like all her ancestors, lost herself, lost herself.
She followed him, gave him advice, shielded him from the wind and rain, and even stole the treasures of heaven and earth treasures in the clan to wash his marrow and change his life, and conquer the world with him.
But there were too many heroes in that era, and the power of the sect was too strong.
The elders of the clan warned her that this was not the time to go out of the mountain, and that she should wait quietly for a better opportunity, but she did nothing for the sake of that person.
How many people did he kill?
Lakh? Million? Everyone said he was cruel and unkind.
So what?
The history of this world has always been written by the victors, as long as they become the final victors, what does it matter?
But her identity helped him rise to the occasion, but it also brought him more enemies. Those stubborn guys, those monks who are hidden among the people, as long as they hear the name of the Sky Fox Clan, they are like crazy, and they must get rid of them quickly.
But he never blamed her.
"Without you, I'm just a nobody, who would know my name? My life is already worth it, and my name will inevitably be left in the history books, even if it is just notoriety......"
Their territory is getting smaller and smaller, and there are fewer and fewer people, but there are more and more enemies.
She tried her best to find a solution, but she was surrounded by those people in the valley, and she couldn't get rid of it for a long time.
In the end, she paid the price of a tail to escape, but at that time, he had been betrayed by the traitors around him, caught by the capricious and tyrannical villain, and worked hard to cultivate and escorted to the imperial capital Chang'an with heavy troops.
I heard that he was beheaded under the lone willow on the streets of Chang'an.
Those people made up the story of him groveling to the prison and begging for mercy, and it was circulated all over the world, but she knew that it couldn't be true, and the person who was so proud of the world's happy grievances could do such a thing?
She tried to recover his bones, but no one knew where he was buried.
So she had no choice but to take revenge on those who had killed him.
But after breaking the tail, she has become weak, and the strength of that person is getting stronger and stronger, and she finally misses and is brutally suppressed.
"This thing is enough to change the reverse dragon vein, so that my mountains and rivers will be eternal!"
In that long slumber, she recalled the bits and pieces between her and him countless times, and countless times recalled that she had done something wrong.
The biggest mistake was to expose yourself prematurely, and let the monks who were full of fear of the Sky Fox Clan want to destroy them at all costs.
But now, those hated monks are gone, destroyed by their emperor's own hands.
Zhao Qiuniang couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, for her, what was a better surprise than waking up and finding that all her enemies had died before herself, and the inheritance had been broken?
Who else can stop me?
This world was many times larger than the world she had known before, and the Great Xia Empire was still one of the few countries that could conquer the entire world.
She curled up the juice on the table next to her with her tail and took a gentle sip.
The mood became extremely relaxed.
Daji, maybe I'll be the first Sky Fox to surpass you~
