Barren mountains, broken temples, night rain.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The torrential rain as big as soybeans plummeted down in the cold wind, turning the mountain road into a muddy patch.

Bang Bang Bang Bang ......

The rain hit the tiles of the ruined temple, knocking out a dense drum beat, and leaking down the cracks, and soon pooled into a stream on the ground.

There were a few soft "bangs" outside, and it seemed that a figure was passing in the rain.

"Boom!"

There was a thunderous roar, and a blinding electric light swept through the night sky, illuminating the figures of several monks in an instant.

They hurried past the ruined temple, and a moment later, hurried back again.

They glanced at each other, and they all chased into the temple.

"Huh?"

No one.

The inner hall of the ruined temple is unobstructed, with only a clay statue standing on its own, and a dusty shrine below. It seems to be a mountain god worshiped by mortals, but it has been abandoned for a long time.

“...... He's not here. Keep chasing!"

"Humph!"

Several monks came and went in a hurry, and before leaving, they struck the idol like a vent.

The idol fell with a bang.

After a while, the rain died down and the wind died down.

The monks who had left did not return.

Tick, tick......

Blood seeped out of the fissures of the idol and slowly dripped to the ground, pooling into the stream of rain, staining it a faint red.

Suddenly, the idol cracked with a "click", and the clay statue on the surface shattered like dust, revealing a living human body.

"I'm scared to death!"

The man was like a nimble monkey, and instantly bounced up from the ground, "No, I have to ask that girl from the Red Leaf Trading Company to add money, this time it was almost planted, at least this healing elixir has to be let her out!"

It was a young girl's voice, as crisp as a warbler's cry, but "her" face was a swarthy man, with a scruffy beard and a wooden face.

The messy hair was scattered on the sides, cluttered like a clay sculpture.

"Let's talk about adding money later, now it's self-defeating to go back, those guys just now may not have gone far, so it's right to find a place to hide. ”

The swarthy man's lips twitched, and the urn voice was angry, but it was a rough man's voice.

The next moment, his mouth didn't move, and the female voice just now came from behind: "Yo he, when did you become so small?

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”

"Forget it, while there is no one here, let me show my face and catch my breath......"

The swarthy man ruffled his hair.

A delicate woman's face on the back of her head is revealed.

On his head, there are two faces, one in front and one in the back!

On this barren mountain in the middle of the night, in the ruined temple where no one is around, there is such a treacherous scene, which makes people feel terrified......

Few people know that "Ghost Fox with a Thousand Faces" actually refers to two people.

He is a deformed child with two souls, the male soul is a thousand faces, and the female soul is a ghost fox. The two souls share a single body, and they are united from the spirit to the flesh and cannot be separated.

The Dafa of "Illusion of All Beings" and "Transformation of All Things" that he cultivates allows his form to change freely in all living beings, and it can be male or female, human or beast, even if it is disguised as a clay statue, it is seamless.

As the ghost fox's face was revealed, his body contracted and changed, and in a blink of an eye, he became a slender woman.

Stretch out your hand and wipe it again, and even the clothes have been changed.

She pulled out a mirror and sat down on the shrine, looking left and right at the mirror, touching up her makeup.

In a moment, her messy hair had been combed into elegant temples, and she inserted a golden jade hairpin and looked at it with satisfaction.

Suddenly......

Ghost Fox's pupils shrank, and she noticed that her face in the mirror was gradually blurred and disappeared, replaced by an eerie white mask.

Under the hollow eye sockets, two handfuls of blood like tear stains are drawn, staring at him faintly.

“...... Ah!!h

She threw the mirror away in fright and screamed.

"Hey, what's your name?"

The voice of a thousand faces came in confusion.

At this moment, the mirror fell to the ground and fell into countless crystal shards.

Under the terrified gaze of the ghost fox, a strange shadow of a black cloak and a white mask appeared on each fragment, and a "rude" laugh sounded.

It suddenly emerged from the mirror, and with a wave of its pitch-black cloak, it enveloped the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox like the night sky.

Then it turned into green smoke and burrowed back into the mirror.

Pitch black, silent.

It is as if walking in an endless corridor, with no upper and lower levels, no left and no right, and all senses have been lost.

The Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox didn't know how long he had been gone, maybe an era, or just a short moment. Here, too, time seems to have lost its meaning and has become a mere psychological sensation.

He didn't even know if he was alive or not.

Suddenly, a gentle voice came to my ear: "Wake up, don't fall asleep." ”

The Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox woke up violently.

But he couldn't see anyone.

"Who are you?!"

The male and female remixes asked in unison.

However, the voice did not answer, but said to itself: "If you lose consciousness in the gap between time and space, you will never wake up again." ”

Can't wake up?

Other words...... Will it die?

The Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox shuddered, fear welled up in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Hey, who the hell are you? What is this place? Did you also get caught by it?"

"How can we get out?!"

"Don't worry, it'll be there soon. ”

As the gentle voice fell, a bright light appeared not far away.

It was as if the drowning man had breathed air, and his confused consciousness had become sober, but he was still a little top-heavy, and the scene in front of him was like a layer of smoke, hazy, and full of shadows.

The Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox rubbed his eyes.

It was a dimly lit room with a desk on which a bronze mirror was placed.

Seeing the mirror, he subconsciously retreated, and his heart beat wildly.

At this time, a gentle voice came, as if it contained a little displeasure: "Xuan Yuanzi, you scared him." ”

"Big guy, I didn't mean to. It's that they're so intimidating......"

A white mask emerged from the bronze mirror, and his facial features were distorted into a look of grievance.

Xuan Yuanzi is indeed quite aggrieved, in order to transport the big guy's ingredients from a distant place and keep them fresh, he is really heartbroken.

In the end, he didn't get a word of praise from the big guy.

It floated around the back of Nan Ming's head like a resentful little daughter-in-law, as if to awaken his conscience......

"Half of it turned out to be a woman, no wonder it looked so similar. ”

There was a hint of disappointment in Nanming's voice.

As a result, the nutrition of this ingredient is inevitably discounted, and it is not as effective as I imagined.

Xuan Yuanzi found a spoon out of nowhere and handed it to Nan Ming like an inviter: "Big guy, do you want to dig and eat with a spoon?"

"No, I don't. ”

Nan Ming glanced at it expressionlessly, turned his face away, and black and red blood sprang out from his hand, instantly piercing the head of the thousand-faced ghost fox.

"Wow!"

Finished eating.

The memory of the thousand-faced ghost fox's life suddenly became clear to me.

This is also a poor person with a miserable background, born deformed, abandoned as a demon, mixed in the market since childhood, has done almost everything, and has seen all kinds of people, and has tasted all kinds of life, so he can deduce it vividly.

"Sure enough, just reading books is not enough, without the support of practice, theory is just a castle in the air......"

He licked his lips in satisfaction, as if he couldn't finish it.
