That was more than 100 years ago.

At that time, Yan Chixia was still a white-faced scholar, and she happened to pass by here on the day she entered Beijing to take the exam.

Early that morning, when I was halfway up the mountain, I met a young girl, wearing a red cloak, with a beautiful face, and a maid behind her, who was hurrying in the morning dew, and her shoes and socks were wet.

Yan Sheng kept looking at the girl, and when the other party was about to walk away, he turned around and smiled at her, and disappeared.

Yan Sheng looked at the place where the girl disappeared, and his heart was empty.

After a day's walk, in the evening, I found a temple that had been abandoned for a long time.

Yan Sheng was young and vigorous and not afraid of ghosts and gods, and was about to enter the temple, but saw a figure walk out.

He couldn't help but be shocked, and when he looked closely, it was the girl he met in the morning!

Yan Sheng was ecstatic in his heart, and he only felt that the two of them really had a fate, and he couldn't care why the girl haunted this deserted temple.

When the girl saw him, she seemed to be shy, and turned back with her face covered.

Yan Sheng tied the donkey in front of the door, intending to go in to see what was going on.

When I entered the temple gate, I saw the ruins of the broken wall, and the stone steps were paved with layers of fine grass like a green carpet.

Yan Sheng was hesitating, when he saw a white-haired old man in neat clothes and hats walk out and ask him where he came from. Yan Sheng replied one by one, and heard the old man say that he was living here to temporarily settle down with a small family, and Yan Sheng knew that the girl was the old man's son-in-law.

The old man said, and invited Yan Sheng into the temple and treated him with camellia as wine.

There is a courtyard behind this hall, the stone road is very clean, and the curtains and bed tents in the house are fragrant.

Yan was born in the old man and talked very happily, and before he knew it, it was time for the rooster to crow. The old man said that he wanted to rest, and hinted that Yan Sheng should leave.

Yan Sheng thought of the girl in red he saw during the day, so he had the courage to ask the old man about the girl.

The old man shook his head when he heard this, and was about to refuse, but he heard the woman's soft voice from the back room. Yan Sheng got up, got up and opened the curtain, and saw the girl in red, dressed beautifully, with a belt twisted in her hand, slim and elegant.

When the girl saw Yan Sheng break in, she didn't panic, she just turned her back, leaving a beautiful back.

Yan Sheng said secretly, could it be that Lang is affectionate and the concubine is intentional?

Just as he was about to step forward, he felt a heavy pat on the shoulder, and heard an old voice say:

"One misstep has become a thousand years of hatred, and it has been a hundred years since I looked back. Scholars, watch out for your feet! ”

It doesn't look like an old man in this voice, but where is the second old man in the house?

Yan Sheng wondered and looked down, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, this look is almost frightened, what kind of boudoir is at his feet, it is like a black and dark abyss.

Looking around, all the inner houses and outer courtyards were gone, leaving only two barren grass mounds, and he himself was hanging on the edge of the cliff with half a foot.

Yan Sheng didn't know where he was, he was blinded by a ghost, so he quickly retracted his steps, and looked back at a sloppy Taoist.

"Thank you, Master, for saving me." Yan Sheng bowed and bowed.

The sloppy Taoist waved his hand and did not speak.

At this time, a red shadow suddenly popped out from behind the grave, Yan Sheng's eyes flickered, and the sloppy Taoist had appeared a few feet away, and he heard two more "huh", which seemed to be a baby crying.

There was already a red-haired fox in the sloppy Taoist's hand, and he grabbed his legs and carried it upside down.

"The one who bewitched you with demon magic is this red-haired fox."

Yan Sheng looked at it and saw that the fox's whole body was as red as a flame, and it was like a burning firework in the night.

"What is the master going to do with this fox spirit when he catches it?"

Yan Sheng looked at the red fox, and the red fox also looked at him with pleading eyes.

"It's cause and effect between you and it. The person it wants to kill is you, not me. How to deal with it, you should ask yourself. ”

"This ......"

Yan Sheng didn't expect that the sloppy Taoist would hand over the disposal to himself.

"If I could, I hope the master would be able to put it ......"

The sloppy Taoist nodded, and sighed for some reason: "It's really the wrongs of the past life and this life...... Thou wretched lord is willing, but the poor man has nothing to say. ”

Saying that, the sloppy Taoist let go of the red fox, and scolded: "Fox demon, it is not easy for you to practice, let you go, don't dare to harm people again, otherwise you will be robbed when you transform." ”

The red fox nodded humanely, bowed to the sloppy Taoist, and turned to look at Yan Sheng.

At this time, Yan Sheng found out that this red fox actually had three tails.

The three tails shook like torches, which made Yan Sheng a little distracted for a while. In a trance, the red fox seemed to have become the girl in red.

"Thank you for your great kindness, I will repay you in the future."

After the red fox was not seen for a long time, Yan Sheng came back to his senses.

With the sloppy Taoist as a companion all the way, listening to his story, I realized that the red fox was a different species that had already cultivated into a fine cultivation, but it was to cross the catastrophe, so he was enticed to come here to die.

However, it was also after many years that Yan Chixia realized that the cause and effect between herself and the red fox was actually a grudge between the world.

The sloppy Taoist accompanied him all the way, revealing his appreciation for him in his words, and praised him for his extraordinary bones one after another, hoping that he could follow him to cultivate.

At that time, Yan Sheng only wanted to gain fame, and he had a respectful attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism, and politely rejected the kindness of sloppy Taoists.

The sloppy Taoist was not reluctant, and only asked him to go to Chaotianguan in the eastern suburbs of the capital to look for him when he encountered an incident.

Yan Sheng nodded and continued to go to the capital to catch the exam.

He was full of poetry and books, and he was talented, and this year he really lived up to expectations, won the first class of Jinshi, and was hand-picked as Tanhua during the palace examination.

The so-called spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers overnight. The top three street parades are just inevitable. It's a pity that Yan Sheng was young and naïve, and he had no heart to defend against others, and he was framed when he stayed in the Qinglou at night and was involved in a murder case.

Yan Sheng was almost dismissed for his fame, but fortunately, someone came forward to protect him, and the turmoil temporarily subsided.

And this murder also made him officially involved in the inhuman world...... On the night he returned to the deserted inn, he met a cat demon who came to ask for his life. Although Yan Sheng knew some martial arts, he couldn't stand the demon magic of the cat demon, and at the critical moment, a red cloth appeared in front of him......

Yan Sheng thus became attached to the red fox again. Accompanied by one person and one fox, he finally found out the truth of the Qinglou case. However, the adults of the school asked him to keep silent, just because the real murderer was a powerful Yanai......

After a few years of general judgment, Yan Sheng found that the decay and darkness of the court could not be reversed by himself, and he gradually lost confidence in the court completely.

And during this time, the red fox has been with him. Until that incident happened, it completely changed Yan Sheng's fate and the relationship between him and the red fox.

Maybe it was just a misunderstanding, but the merits don't matter anymore.

Yan Chixia is no longer the fledgling Yan Sheng, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Ghost King is no longer the innocent Red Fox.

"Yan Chixia, you are the one who bears me first." The Nine-Tailed Fox Ghost King had a look of resentment on his face.

The guilt on Yan Chixia's face flashed, and she frowned and said, "I am the one who bears you." But that's not a reason for you to kill innocents. ”

"Hahaha...... Didn't you and that old Taoist priest keep saying that I killed those people, then I will show you the harm! The Nine-Tailed Fox Ghost King said with a smile.

Yan Chixia shook her head and sighed in a low voice: "A demon is a demon, and its nature is difficult to change." ”

Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox Ghost King was even more furious.

Yan Chixia in front of her no longer has the slightest shadow of the white-faced scholar of the past, and has completely turned into the appearance of that pedantic old Taoist priest.

"You have gone against the sky, killing many innocent people over the years, it is really a great sin......"

Yan Chixia has been looking for her for a long time, and more often than not, she hopes that she will never be found. Because the purpose of finding her is to destroy her.

Red Fox, she's completely enchanted.

Yan Chixia shook her head slightly, got rid of the distracting thoughts in her heart, and said with a firm expression: "Today I am going to do the right thing for the sky." ”

"For the heavens? Hahaha! The nine-tailed fox laughed presumptuously, "Yan Chixia, this is my territory, and everything must follow my rules." You broke into this painting world back then, or I got out for you. Now that you're without me, do you still have the ability? ”

"Give it a try."

Yan Chixia clenched the Qi Ming Sword and said with a righteous awe.

"Then I'll see."

As soon as the nine-tailed fox's voice fell, she suddenly saw nine black ribbons floating behind her towards Yan Chixia.

By the time Yan Chixia untied the ribbons, the nine-tailed fox had long since disappeared, and the surrounding environment had changed dramatically......
