Chapter 228: Three years have passed
Jiang Ling was overjoyed when he saw that the little fox came to life, and couldn't help but hug the little fox violently, and said, "Little fox, you scared me to death, I thought I would never see you again." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The little fox pushed Jiang Ling a little uncomfortably, and said, "Brother, let go first, your beard makes my face hurt so much." ”
Jiang Ling let go of his hand embarrassedly, let go of the little fox, and said with a stupid smile: "I was so excited to see you come back, I couldn't hold back for a while, and hugged it." ”
The little fox didn't feel embarrassed, let go of his thoughts and said: "If my brother wants to hug the little fox, the little fox will never hide, but my brother has to shave his beard first." ”
Jiang Ling smiled maliciously, diverted the topic, and asked, "I saw you being struck by the old monster with one palm, why...?"
The little fox calmed down his frightened expression and said, "Indeed, I used my last strength to break the old monster's Pupil Shadow Soul Destroying Technique, collapsed to the ground, and was killed by the old monster with one palm. However, I don't know why this happened, when my soul drifted to the ghost gate, the ghost king said that I had nine lives and let me back. ”
"Have you been to the Ghost King's Hell? The Ghost King won't accept you?" Jiang Ling listened as if he had fallen into the clouds, feeling too incredible.
The little fox pushed away the stones, showed the fox's tail, and asked, "Brother, count me, how many tails do I have?"
Jiang Ling didn't know what the little fox wanted to do, so according to the meaning of the little fox, he counted the fox's tails one by one, and said in surprise: "Eight tails, aren't you a nine-tailed fox? Why is there one tail missing?"
The little fox looked sad, lowered his head, sighed, and said: "Sure enough, the nine-tailed fox clan can get nine lives after awakening, and each tail represents a life, I understand what the ghost king said." ”
Jiang Ling nodded as if he didn't understand, but he still didn't understand why the nine-tailed fox could come back from the dead, and he didn't understand that the tail represented a life.
However, he accepted the fact that the little fox came back to life, and from then on he was no longer alone, and he had a bond again.
The little fox retracted its eight tails and explained: "After the nine-tailed fox clan awakens, it will gain nine lives, unless the body is destroyed and cannot be resurrected, it can be resurrected in other situations." ”
The little fox took Jiang Ling's hand and said seriously: "Brother, never leave me, okay? ”
Jiang Ling couldn't answer, smiled, and said, "Your stomach is screaming, you must be hungry, let's go out quickly!"
Jiang Ling couldn't answer this question, he promised the Nine-Tailed Fox King to send the little fox back to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan in the Hundred Beast Demon Domain, of course he knew in his heart that there would be a day of separation.
Therefore, he could not make such a promise to the little fox.
Seeing that Jiang Ling had no intention of answering and did not force it, Xiao Fox remembered the scene of seeing the Ghost King in the Ghost King Hell, and her heart palpitated. Lowering his head, he whispered to himself: "Brother, don't worry, there is a little raccoon dog here, and the ghost king will never be allowed to succeed, and the little fox is willing to be your guardian beast forever." ”
Jiang Ling patted the little fox on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's all over, don't think too much, go out and relax." ”
Following his breath, Jiang Ling shattered the stones, crawled into the blood pool, found the Hell Ghost Axe, and hung it on his waist. Then I found the dark Buddha pattern tripod buried under the rubble, and found that the two relics of the ancient Buddha were quietly glued together and lying in the tripod.
Receiving the Dark Buddha Pattern Ding into the mustard bracelet, Jiang Ling continued to search for the Bloodthirsty Netherworld Sword in the ruins, but after searching back and forth several times, there was no trace of the Bloodthirsty Netherworld Sword.
He frowned and said, "At that time, the Bloodthirsty Nether Sword was shocked by the old monster and pierced through the stone gate, could it be said that it was picked up by someone else?"
He ruled out the possibility that the Bloodthirsty Netherworld Sword was taken away by Hu Lengchan, Master Xiaomeng and others, because of the scene at that time, everyone was in danger, it was too late to escape, and no one dared to stay to grab the sword.
Then, he guessed that there was only one possibility, and that was that the Bloodthirsty Nether Sword was taken from the stone pile after the collapse of the dungeon.
He slammed his fist into the pile of rocks, and he made a passage.
Jiang Ling crawled out of the ruins along the passage with the little fox, and just stood up, only to see a pile of paper ashes and candle tears in front of him.
His eyes were moist, he leaned down, imagining the action of Lingtong burning paper money, and exclaimed: "With such a thick paper ash, I still owe Lingtong to think of love and righteousness, and come to see me every month, so I have worked hard for her." ”
Jiang Ling was just about to leave, but he heard footsteps, and vaguely saw someone running towards him.
"There's movement inside, go check it out. ”
"What's the movement? It's been three years, and if there is any movement, it's a few hungry rats gnawing on the skeleton. ”
The two soldiers complained that they had been sent to guard a collapsed underground palace, and the two of them ran to the stone gate to take a few looks.
"There was movement, it was the sound of stones being struck, and the rats were not so strong. ”
"You must have misheard, you see, there is nothing but a pile of paper ashes and a thick layer of candle oil, how can there be any movement? ”
The little fox turned into a nine-tailed fox, jumped down from the top of the dungeon, and at the two soldiers, he used the 'Soul Snatching Eye' to control the two soldiers, and said, "Brother, come down! These two people were controlled by my winking eyes and couldn't perceive them." ”
Jiang Ling easily jumped off the rock, patted the dust, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "The little fox is getting smarter and smarter, and knows how to control them with flattery instead of killing them." ”
Jiang Ling squatted down, stripped off the clothes of the two soldiers, put them on himself, and instructed the little fox to change them on, saying, "Change into the clothes of the guards and go to the imperial city to get the sword." ”
The little fox followed Jiang Ling's instructions to change into an awkward guard costume and complained, "The man's clothes are too small, and it makes my chest hurt." ”
Jiang Ling looked up at the twin peaks that were becoming more and more upright from the little fox, and said speechlessly for a while: "Go out first, have a full meal, and change into suitable clothes." ”
Jiang Ling and Xiaoxi walked out of the underground palace in guard clothes, breathing fresh air, walking in the sun, and an indescribable sense of comfort spread throughout their bodies.
"I haven't seen the sun for three years, and the imperial city is changing so fast. ”
He shaved off his beard, looked at the new imperial city, and frequently praised the successor monarch for his good governance.
Jiang Ling caught a eunuch who was alone in the latrine, pulled out the hell ghost axe and pressed it on the eunuch's neck, and shouted in a low voice: "If you want to live, answer the question like this, otherwise, don't blame the axe in my hand for being ruthless." ”
The eunuch was so frightened that he didn't have time to lift his pants, his face was frightened, and he said, "The hero spares his life, and the slave will answer truthfully." ”
Jiang Ling's brows trembled, and he asked, "Who is the King of Chu who is in charge of the Imperial City now?" and tell me about the incident three years ago. ”
When the eunuch saw Jiang Ling asking this kind of question, he couldn't help but be shocked, stared at Jiang Ling suspiciously, looked at it, and said, "I guess the hero is not a local..."
Jiang Ling didn't want to listen to too much nonsense, so he pressed the hell ghost axe and said, "Don't come to this set, answer simply." ”
The eunuch calmed down and explained: "Three years ago, the capital was in turmoil, the tyrant Chu Tianba was beheaded by the exiles, and the Chu Ling clan was killed and wounded, and almost perished. Fortunately, Chen Pi'a, the leader of the exiles, overrode public opinion, compromised with the soldiers who returned to the capital, and jointly elected Chu Tianyu to the throne, that is, the current king of Chu. ”
Jiang Ling was a little surprised, and thought: "Tianyu became the king of Chu, and Lingtong is the current queen, so to speak, the rich man Lingtong married is Tianyu, the king of Chu, which is amazing." ”
He was still a little worried when he heard that Lingtong was married, but when he learned that the person Lingtong married was Chu Tianyu, his worries were immediately dispelled. Jiang Ling believed that Chu Tianyu was a person, and if he really married Lingtong, he would definitely not treat Lingtong badly.
Jiang Ling asked again, "Where is the imperial dining room?"
The eunuch looked at Jiang Ling even more suspiciously, and was afraid of the axe on his neck, so he hurriedly raised his finger and pointed towards a place, saying, "That gilded palace is the imperial dining room." ”
Jiang Ling's stomach was so hungry that he didn't have time to ask more, so he knocked the eunuch unconscious with one palm, called out the little fox, and ran in the direction of the imperial dining room.
After walking through several places in a row, Jiang Ling found that the imperial city was peaceful, and there were not too many guards, and everyone was busy with the things at hand, each performing their duties.
"Tianyu, the king of Chu, really did not disappoint, he has the demeanor of a king, and he has good governance. ”
He took advantage of the guards' lack of attention to sneak into the imperial dining room with the little fox, grabbed the dishes, and stuffed them directly into his mouth without chopsticks, making them stained with oil.
"It's delicious! It's delicious!"
Jiang Ling lifted a big chicken leg, gnawed hard, gobbled it up and stuffed it into his mouth, and praised the eunuchs in the imperial dining room from time to time for their good skills.
The little fox also pulled up the big chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, imitated Jiang Ling's way of eating, laughed and laughed: "It's delicious!
Jiang Ling put down the chicken leg in his hand seriously, looked directly at the little fox and said: "You are now a little human girl, you have to eat like a lady, chew slowly, you can't be reincarnated like a starving ghost like me, I wish you could eat them all." ”
The little fox nodded as if he didn't understand, tried to take a bite, it was not enjoyable, and then began to bite the chicken leg again, completely taking Jiang Ling's words as the wind in his ears, and only caring about enjoying the food.
"I haven't eaten for three years, I guess I'm hungry, let's eat! Jiang Ling looked at the little fox's stupid forehead when he ate, and he was very sympathetic to the little fox's suffering, and he felt a little sympathy.
The little fox didn't care about so many rules, grabbed something and ate it, and ate it with a mouth full of oil, and hiccups until it was stretched, without the appearance of a lady, but really like a starving ghost reborn.
"Brother, here you go, you eat. The little fox picked up the uneaten chicken legs, shouted that it was delicious, and handed it to Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling took the chicken leg, bit hard, took a sip of the spirits, and said with a smile: "Eat, eat, drink!"
After a full meal, the two of them walked out of the imperial dining room, swayed and swayed, drunkenly swayed to the grass by the lake, and lay down to sleep.
At this time, a column of patrol guards happened to pass by the lake, and when they saw someone lying on the lawn basking in the sun, they immediately grabbed the two and sent them to the prime minister's mansion for treatment.
Replacing Nangong Zhengde as prime minister was the leader of the ruffians who overrode public opinion and elected Chu Tianyu to the top and made great contributions.
He was about to be furious when he saw the guards send two 'dereliction of duty' soldiers, but he recognized that the drunk soldiers were Jiang Ling who was buried in the underground palace, and he was immediately shocked, and ordered his subordinates to carry Jiang Ling to the bed to rest, and settle the little fox dressed like the guards.
"Jiang Ling didn't die, he crawled out alive, it's incredible. ”
