Section 48: A beautiful woman's smile is worth a thousand gold

Bai Heng pushed open the window and saw three people sitting around a table drinking tea and talking in the courtyard of the inn.

At this time, there was a trace of whiteness in the gray sky, and suddenly there was a heavy snowfall. The three of them were indifferent and only cared about talking.

Could it be the legendary master of the hidden world? Thinking so in his heart, Bai Heng eavesdropped on their conversation with a little excitement.

"When will the two Daoists return to the Central Continent?"

"The world is so chaotic, what are you going to do when you go back? ”

"This Qingqiu is not a good place, you look at the two island countries actually fighting for a few drops of essence blood to die and live. It's just two hairy boys, not sensible at all!"

"No matter how chaotic it is, it's better than the mainland. You must know that since the Heavenly Demon was banished twenty years ago, the dragons have no leader, and there are constant disputes. The masters above the sea of marrow have all rushed into the other realms, and they are simply lawless. We are clowns at best, so why are we asking for trouble. ”

The name Heavenly Demon startled Bai Heng a lot. Twenty years ago, he pushed the five elements and eight wilderness realms, and the bullish superman who coaxed him across the wilderness. It is rumored that the man was violent and did all kinds of evil, destroying human nature. In the invincible cultivation realm, no one could subdue him, which finally aroused the anger of many cultivators in the human realm, and the masters of all roads joined forces to set a trap before successfully banishing him outside the realm. In a word, all evaluations of the Heavenly Demon are extremely negative.

However, when the three of them talked and laughed, they seemed to mean something else.

"It's not a good habit to eavesdrop, come on, come down, come down and talk to a few of us old guys. ”

A laugh came from outside the window, and Bai Heng, who was hiding in the house, was shocked, and his heart almost fell out in fright. I didn't show my head, how could I be discovered, this must be testing me.

"Don't hide, it's you, the one with the window open. ”

Another summons, this time it must be himself. If I didn't know what to do, I might not be so easy to speak. It's better to be honest.

Poking his head out of the window, Bai Heng made a bitter face and smiled stiffly: "Wait a few seniors, I'll come down now." ”

The three of them are not very old, but they are very different. One looked to be in his early thirties, one had white sideburns, and the other was in his forties.

"As introduced, we are the three monks of the bamboo forest. Where are you from?" Several people were unexpectedly easy to talk to, and they didn't put on a stand with their predecessors when they came up, but started with themselves. After that, the middle-aged one immediately stretched out his hand to stop Bai Heng, "Wait." We just happen to live in this inn with you today and now, and our life history and so on, whatever you want. ”

Bai Heng didn't think about it, anyway, he was not a wanted criminal, so he had nothing to hide: "My name is Bai Heng, and I can barely be regarded as a person from the rivers and lakes." ”

"People in the rivers and lakes? The world is sinister, just like the rivers and lakes, mixed with fish and dragons, and the undercurrent is surging. Haha, it's a fresh word, and it's very apt. Several people laughed, and praised Bai Heng for his good description.

Bai Heng's addition did not ruin the continuation of their topic.

Goose feathers and snow are flying all over the sky. The courtyard is surrounded by three-storey buildings, and the slightest gust of wind will roll up a shower of snow in the courtyard like a small tornado. The snowflakes fell almost in a swirling way around the axis centered on the table in front of them, and it was fascinating.

From the age of 20 to their 50s, the four people who span three reincarnations can get together in such a superb scene, drink tea and talk in the fluttering of the university, and have the illusion of a heroic meeting. Bai Heng even felt that under the Changting Pavilion back then, Meng De and Xuande were just heroes who cooked wine with green plums.

"The concubine of this black-toothed country is very sick, and fox hair grows on her hands and feet. I think she has offended the fox a lot in her life. ”

"I've only heard of it, but it's probably a curse. It must be which fox clan has fought hard. ”

"Speaking of which, the king of the Black Tooth Country is also a must, and it is rumored that the concubine descends to earth like a fairy in the sky. actually fascinated the king, loved beauty more than the country, and dared to cross the ocean to start a war for the nine-tailed fox. Hehe, should I say that I have courage or that I am not lightly ill. ”

"Eh, the nine-tailed fox, there is only one left in Qingqiu. ”

"Hey, isn't there a nine-tailed fox mountain three hundred miles to the east? That spiritual mountain is a paradise for the nine-tailed fox. Bai Heng asked puzzled. Hearing them say this, it seems that the war between the two countries is over a fox, which is too child's play. He wanted to arrest the kings of the two countries and beat him up and give him a discouragement.

The other three glanced at Bai Heng strangely, "You are all old and old." More than 10 years ago, when the previous monarch was in power, the concubine at that time said that she wanted to see the nine-tailed fox dancing in the fire, and smiled for the Pomeranians. The nine-tailed foxes in my Qingqiu country, except for an injured young fox kept in the palace, all died in the man-made fire. ”

"How can there be such a thing? The human heart is sinister, and it is really terrible. Bai Heng didn't comment too much, there are countless such moves in history. But all tyrants and faint kings and the like have similar "great achievements". "Isn't there another one according to that, and it happens to be in the palace. It shouldn't be a big deal to take a little essence blood. ”

"Definitely. ”

"What do you mean by that? Is it dead? No, I heard that the nine-tailed fox has a long lifespan. ”

"Hehe, the nine-tailed fox, it should still be alive, but it's not in the palace. The youngest man laughed contemptuously, "Burning Qingqiu Ling Mountain is a great sin, and you will be punished by heaven." The previous monarch died suddenly in front of everyone in the morning of the next day, and his death was extremely miserable. On the same day, the concubine also died. Guess how?"

"It must have been a violent death, right? This kind of woman will definitely not be martyred. Bai Heng definitely had to answer.

"Wrong again. It was bitten to death by the injured young fox!" The thirty-year-old laughed, "The nine-tailed fox is a psychic demon beast, and it almost wiped out the Manchu people, even the young fox in the cage sensed it." The young fox bit the concubine to death and fled, and no one has seen the nine-tailed fox since. Now that the Nine-Tailed Fox Mountain has recovered a little bit of vitality, I estimate that the last one should go back to the mountain. ”

It's really a nationwide bloody case caused by a fox. Bai Heng sneered in his heart, even the fox could see through people's hearts. The hometown of the good nine-tailed fox - the island country Qingqiu, actually burned the nine-tailed fox to almost wipe out the clan, which is simply a joke in the world. The end of betraying the fox is being betrayed by the fox. It is estimated that since more than ten years ago, the nine-tailed fox has not been secretly protecting Qingqiu. There's definitely some subtle bad change going on.

As for why Qingqiu didn't search the mountains this time and find out the only nine-tailed fox. The reason is not that the possibility of finding a needle in a haystack is too low. His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson who rescued the injured fox cub back then, happens to be the king of a country today. We must not repeat the mistakes of the past. His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the past, would rather go to war with the Black Tooth Kingdom than do that perverse thing.
