"That's pretty much it."

Jiang He also specially asked the masters of the imperial court to convey to Emperor Meng-

It's just a white fox, give me a face, spare her life, and maybe go to the imperial capital to guide you in the future.

This is both a test of Emperor Meng's temperament.

At the same time, it also paved the way for Jiang He's future return to the imperial capital.

Investigating the traces of evil demons, it is naturally not possible to only investigate the land of the eight states.

At the very least, I have to meet Emperor Meng to see if he has been eroded by demonic energy.

However, over the years, Emperor Meng has not done anything too absurd except for being obsessed with immortality, and the possibility of being infected by demons is extremely low.

It's just to keep an insurance policy, so it's put at the end.

……

Jiang He took the unconscious white fox to the border barren oasis, left one or two covering methods, one or two bottles of healing medicine, and left.

For him.

Rescued a white fox and told Emperor Meng.

It's just a casual move, and I didn't take it to heart.

At present, the focus is still to explore the map, find the broken leylines of Mingzhou, and understand the real reason for the decay of this land.

As a result, only three or two days later, there was an accident.

At midnight, Jiang He meditated and rested in the Gobi Desert to restore his tired spirit and replenish his lost strength.

While I was meditating, I suddenly noticed something strange around me.

He opened his eyes and saw a white fox with its prey in its mouth, tiptoeing towards him—

happened to meet Jiang He's eyes.

The white fox froze in place, its prey snapping in its mouth, and landed on the sand.

[Seeing you wake up, the white fox panicked and wanted to flee, but was stopped by you with Taoism. 】

[Seeing this, the white fox lay on the ground and spat out human voices. 】

[When she said that in Qinghe Town, she wanted to repay her son's life-saving grace, but she was not accepted and left secretly...... Now that the desert meets, the son is no longer what it used to be, but regardless of the past suspicions, he will help and save his life. 】

[Great kindness, it is difficult to repay, only this method is to talk about comfort. 】

[You look at the white fox and ask: How do you know that I saved it? 】

[The white fox said that he was not really in a coma, but he was exposed by you, and he said that he cared about him and refused to tell the truth. 】

[You wave your hand in disappointment, and your figure disappears.] 】

[The white fox didn't see your trace, and secretly bowed his head. 】

Jiang He also felt interesting when he saw the white fox repay his kindness for the second time.

But there is an unavoidable problem in this.

Two days ago, when she rescued the white fox, she was seriously injured and in a coma, and she couldn't even maintain her human form and turned back into her body.

After Jiang He rescued her, he didn't stay too long, and left directly.

in this state.

How did she know that it was Jiang He who saved her?

How did she know which direction Jiang He was going?

It can't be to ask those court masters.

Reminiscent of the scene twenty years ago......

Jiang He woke up, nephrite jade was on the side, like a demon and a fairy.

It was a beautiful gesture that was unforgettable.

But......

At that time, she claimed that she was dying, and that she had to rely on instinct to absorb the yang energy of strangers.

Why is it still possible to maintain a human form, instead of degenerating into a white fox posture as it is now?

Moreover, is there really so much yang energy for an ordinary painter?

It can be used for the spirit fox that is dying and seriously injured to recover, and it can even chase several states, looking for various medicinal materials along the way, and keep repaying the favor......

There are just too many loopholes.

Jiang He couldn't even count them.

He debunked the White Fox's statement on the spot and asked her for the truth.

However, the white fox did not answer positively, and talked about him left and right throughout the whole process, trying to get through the trick.

Jiang He was disappointed by her answer.

Hiding his figure on the spot, he disappeared in front of the white fox.

"Maybe this white fox has good intentions, but she is not stupid, and she must be hiding some secrets."

"According to this line of thought, Emperor Meng's killing of King Yun's entire family may not be as rumored in the rivers and lakes, and he was angered by Long Yan......"

"The real purpose is mostly for this jade-scented white fox."

"That's why I hunted her down for twenty years."

"I excused her before, maybe I offended Emperor Meng because of this......"

Jiang He's mind was racing, and he had already figured out a lot of tricks.

It doesn't matter if you offend Emperor Meng.

In the past, the old devil searched all over the world, but he couldn't find any trace of the demon refiner.

If Jiang He was worried about Emperor Meng, who was greedy for power in the world and obsessed with immortality, and was looking for trouble for himself because of these things, it would be ridiculous.

He just doesn't like the feeling.

"I can carry this black cauldron for you."

"Since you can save the lives of strangers by a moment of kindness."

"Of course, I can also save your life."

"But."

"You must at least let me know what this black cauldron is, right?"

"You have not left because of the confusion in your heart. 】

[Hide your body and follow the white fox left and right.] 】

[Or because of the severity of the injury, it has never changed into a human form.] 】

[You walk through the desert Gobi, hunt in the border wilderness, lick your wounds, wash the dust in the lake, and ......]

Until seven days have passed. 】

[Meng calendar 1361, the twenty-fourth of the apricot month. 】

You finally know the truth. 】

……

The border wasteland, the Gobi Oasis.

After a rare rainstorm, a sparkling waterhole looms in the moonlight.

The white fox walked through the desert, and he was already dusty, and he was extremely happy to see the oasis pool.

Turning into a white shadow, it jumped directly into the lake, causing ripples.

It frolicked in the water, the dust washed away with the clear water, and the moonlight swayed on its snow-white fur.

After the white fox played in the water, it seemed to have come out of the previous darkness, and his mood was no longer low.

It jumped out of the pool, shook off the droplets of water from its body, looked around again and around, and after making sure that nothing unusual was wrong, it stepped out into the moonlight.

As its snow-white fur became brighter and brighter, a female phantom detached from its body.

The woman is in her twentieth year, her temperament is calm, the moon is closed, and the moonlight passes through her body, but she does not seem to be isolated, but she is more like a fairy, but there is an indelible sorrow between her eyebrows.

It's just that no matter what she looks like, it can't change her essence.

This is the ghost of the deceased.

"Xueyun, while the moonlight is good today, I'll give you some more strength."

The white fox speaks with a pleasant voice.

The female ghost in front of her sat on the ground and gently hugged the white fox, with a little melancholy in her eyes.

"No need, Xiangyu, don't expend any more strength to maintain my soul."

"You can't even maintain your human form anymore."

"I once thought about avenging my father and my mother...... Twenty-four years have passed, and you're still on the run, dragging you down. ”

The white fox turned his head sideways, as if he wanted to touch the woman's hand, but only touched the air.

It looked dark, and shook its head slightly.

"It's okay."

"Our lives are connected, even if I don't have the strength to maintain your existence, let you dissipate, I won't live long......"

"But you can at least live a little longer, instead of being dragged by me and dying quickly."

The woman interrupted the white fox and spoke.

"Moreover, if you meet that son again, you can also tell the truth, and you don't have to continue to hide my existence."

"It only took more than 20 years for that son to go from a mortal to the point where he is now, which is extraordinary."

"You go and serve that son, not only can you repay the kindness, but he may also find a way to save you......"

The white fox and the female ghost have ears and sideburns, chatting in the middle of the night.

But they didn't perceive it at all, and the "childe" was standing beside them.

Let's be honest.

Compared to this gorgeous white fox with a mouthful of words, and a beautiful woman and ghost in the moonlight.

But the only living man stood there silent, unnoticed.

It's a little scary.

It wasn't until this time that Jiang He finally understood.

Why is the fox demon's rhetoric always flawed.

Why her story and her actions are somewhat incompatible.

It turned out that after the former Snow Cloud County Lord was killed by officers and soldiers, he was not really gone.

The wisp of her soul turned into a yin ghost, and was sheltered by the fox demon in her body, and escaped with her.

"And, according to their communication."

"The reason why the Lord of Xueyun County can turn into a female ghost is because the fox demon and his soul live in symbiosis, so he dies and does not die......"

"This kind of characteristic, I have never heard of in the two dynasties!"

"Is it because the Meng Dynasty is older than the Rongjing Dynasty and the two dynasties, and has not completely entered the end of the law, do some spirit beasts have residual magic?"

Jiang He couldn't help but marvel.

He couldn't help but think of the spiritual skills of the last years of the Rong Dynasty.

It has some remnants of the magic of the Demon Extraction Refiner, which can be called peerless, and it is overwhelming all the exercises in the world.

It was only at this time that Jiang He felt more intuitively-

With him going up with the flow of time, those ordinary exercises in the past, those ordinary spirit beasts in the past, will begin to awaken some new magical powers.

Myth Resurgence?

No......

More precisely, it's the power they already have.

It's just that it's not lost yet.

"Still, they really think a little bit of a way up to me."

"The reason why I am strong is purely based on the accumulation of years in the past, and all by my own efforts again and again."

"I'm very new to these wonders......"

"I don't know what is the way to relieve the symbiosis of the heart and soul and rescue the white fox."

Jiang He felt relieved.

He already understood why the white fox was hiding the truth-

It is precisely because of the magic contained in her body that she was targeted by Emperor Meng, causing the destruction of the Xueyun County Lord's family.

She was vigilant and concealed the remnants of the soul of the Snow Cloud County Lord, which was human nature.

This is understandable.

At this moment, Jiang He groaned and chose to emerge from the shadows.

"It is foreseeable that with the advancement of the dynasty, not only the spiritual skill and the jade fragrance white fox, but also the magic in the world will become more and more ......"

"I can take advantage of this opportunity to learn about the wonderful spirit beast in advance, and be prepared."
