Chapter 34: The Nine-Tails
Qiu Yu's illness in the past two days has become more and more serious, no matter what method he uses, he will fall asleep when he is ugly and wake up when he is old, but in the Yanxi Palace of Fuyao, there is no movement at all.
was telling Wei Ran about this, but he saw Wei Ran, who was still watching the recital, suddenly sat up, and asked imposingly: "When did you say you fell asleep and woke up?" ”
Qiu Yu was taken aback, but he also answered truthfully: "Sleep when you are ugly, and wake up when you are ugly......"
"Do you know about the rumors in the palace lately?" Wei Ran, who had regained his composure, suddenly asked again.
"Eight-tailed cat rumors? I've heard it, but those are just strange forces and confusion that everyone in the palace has nothing to do, do you believe it? ”
"But some facts are real, aren't they?" Wei Ran's narrow eyes glanced at Qiu Yu, and then said, "Let your subordinates check on them tonight, those who have a relationship with the eight-tailed cat." ”
Without exception, those who are said to have seen an eight-tailed cat are between the ugly and the old.
"Do you remember the white cat that suddenly appeared in the Yanxi Palace that night?" Wei Ran asked.
"I remember, I remember, but ......" Qiu Yu frowned, and said again, "Is it ......?"
"Let's go to the Yanxi Palace in Fuyao to have a look!"
At this time, it was already evening, and Lian Fuyao had already had dinner, but he was still alone on the windowsill in a daze.
In the past few days, his master has been in a daze for longer and longer, and the sparrow thought with some worry.
But at this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
After that, Wei Ran, who did not bring the palace people with him, came to this Yanxi Palace, which he had been in the future for a long time, followed by a man who had never been seen in the palace.
Although Fuyao has been going out less often at night recently, there are still all kinds of strong desires that have been urging her, but the ninth tail that can't grow even has made her gradually lose confidence, and even Wei Ran is checking on her, and she doesn't care about it after she knows it.
What did Wei Ran do with the people who monitored her every day this time? Could it be that some clues have been traced? No matter how you think about it, the king of a country would not believe that there is a spirit like a nine-tailed cat.
Who knew that as soon as Wei Ran entered the palace gate, he opened his mouth and said, "Let's all step down." ”
Of course, the palace maids and eunuchs of Jinque and his party obediently retreated, and in an instant, in this huge Yanxi Palace, only Fuyao and Wei Ran were left, as well as the enmity behind Wei Ran.
Qiu Yu was waiting for Wei Ran to ask, but he heard Wei Ran speak: "Didn't I say that we should all retreat."
Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment: "I want it too?" ”
"Who do you think I'm talking about?" Wei Ran stared at Qiu Yudao.
Qiu Yu had to go out stupidly.
"Why do you have time to come here today?" Fuyao's one arm supported his face, and when he was tired, he changed his hand to support it.
"I just want to ask you something?" Wei Ran also walked to Fuyao's side.
"What's the matter?" Although Fuyao is alert, he is still lazy.
"What do you think of the rumors about the eight-tailed cat circulating in the palace?"
"Eight-tailed cat? Actually, it should be a nine-tailed cat. Fuyao retracted his gaze from the courtyard at this time, and turned his head to look at Wei Ran.
"Nine-Tails?" Wei Ran repeated the words of the side with some confusion.
"Everything has a spirit, and cats are the same, so every twenty years, cats will grow a tail, and when it grows to the eighth tail, it will get a hint to help humans fulfill a wish, and when the time comes, she will naturally grow a ninth tail, and when there are nine tails, even if the merit is complete, even the gods in the sky must give up three points."
"But...... Why does the cat circulating in the palace keep helping people realize their wishes, and it has always been eight tails? ”
"This one...... When you help someone realize their wishes, they will grow a ninth tail, but on the other hand, the previous tail will also fall off, and they will always help others realize their wishes, but they will always have nine tails. ”
After listening to what Fu Yao said, Wei Ran lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then spoke: "The person who sets this rule is really cruel, he will always help others realize their wishes, but he will never be able to realize his own wishes." ”
At this time, Fuyao was silent.
Seeing that Fuyao was silent, Wei Ran suddenly came to Fuyao's face, stared at her quietly with a pair of black and white eyes, and then said word by word: "Then your ninth tail, what should I do?" ”
Fu Yao naturally didn't expect Wei Ran to start suspecting her, and hurriedly laughed: "The emperor suspects me of being the nine-tailed cat?" ”
"Yes or no, you have the answer in your own heart."
Wei Ran's narrow peach blossom eyes continued to stare at Fuyao, but those eyes made Fuyao feel a chill behind him.
"Could it be that the emperor also has a wish to achieve it?" Fuyao asked tentatively.
"Of course, there is a wish." Wei Ran paused and looked at Fuyao.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously, all mortals are the same, and getting something for nothing is fatal to them.
"It's just that it's better to realize this wish by yourself - people who don't have the ability can expect to rely on others to realize their wishes."
Wei Ran said again.
This was something Fu Yao didn't expect, so he looked at Wei Ran with a pair of disbelieving eyes.
Wei Ran continued: "If you are really a nine-tailed cat, then I will make a wish to you. ”
The next sentence that Wei Ran said, Fuyao couldn't believe it.
Wei Ran's thin lips said, "I want you to grow a ninth tail." ”
Qiu Yu was not worried about his emperor staying with the cat demon who was suspected of becoming a concubine, so he had been standing quietly outside the closed palace gate of Yanxi Palace, listening to even the slightest movement.
It's just that Wei Ran went in for a quarter of an hour, and there was no special sound inside, but when he was worried, he finally heard a huge movement!
In the night sky, which was already pitch black, there was suddenly a white light that was better than the moonlight, spreading out from the Yanxi Palace.
Not to mention the palace people of Yanxi Palace, who were originally on standby outside the palace, even Qiu Yu, a person who had practiced martial arts for more than ten years, was dazzled by this strong white light, and was also hit back by the powerful impact several steps back.
When he came to his senses, his first instinct was, of course, to rush towards the center of the white light.
It's just that when he arrived in the scattered Yanxi Palace, which had been hit by the huge white light, there was no one else except Wei Ran, who was as long and jade as when he entered.
After that day, no matter how Qiu Yu asked about what happened that day, Wei Ran said that he didn't know.
Anyone who was there that day was not allowed to mention it again.
Since then, there is a legend of the mysterious missing Xi nobleman in the palace, but there is no longer the legend of the eight-tailed cat who helped people realize their wishes.
