Chapter 6 "Secrets of Mountains and Seas"
"The guardian spirit of the Shen family."
When these words came out of the old man's mouth, the entire Fox Immortal Cave fell silent, and even the sound of flowing water seemed to disappear, and everyone's eyes were on Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu.
Shao Siyu stopped Bai Ruyu, who wanted to speak, stepped forward, a pair of eyes as cold as frost, fell on the old man's body, and after a while, he said, "Nine-tailed fox, see you for a long time." ”
The nine-tailed fox has been practicing Taoism for 10,000 years, his eyebrows and beard are as white as snow, but Shao Siyu is still a young man, with high black hair and clear eyebrows, according to contemporary words, he is a rare handsome guy.
The old man said: "I haven't seen you for many years, you are still the same as before, and the reappearance of the guardian spirit of the Shen family means that the catastrophe is coming, and it is time for the things that are placed here to be handed over to the heirs of the Shen family." ”
The heir of the Shen family? Isn't that what it means to yourself?
Shen Qingjiu silently asked herself in her heart, she was both nervous and looking forward to what was going to be handed over to her.
Shao Siyu nodded slightly and said, "Shen Qingjiu is the heir of the Shen family, you can give her the things." ”
Listening to the meaning of what he said, Shao Siyu seemed to know what the old man was going to hand over to himself, what would it be, the Shen family's demon hunting cheats, or something valuable, or something special left by the ancestors, to be used as heirlooms, thinking of the family heirlooms, she looked at the divine beads she was wearing on her wrists, which were handed down by the ancestors and said to have been worn by Shen You.
The more he thought about it, the more itchy he became, Shen Qingjiu looked up at the old man, but found that the old man was also looking at himself, those bright eyes, so that Shen Qingjiu didn't dare to look directly, he hurriedly lowered his head and called: "Hello senior." ”
The old man, who was originally a majestic and serious man, smiled slightly after hearing her words, and said: "When Shen You was alive, he called me a senior, and when it came to your generation, he still called me so, but there is no problem, I am indeed a little cheaper than you in terms of age." ”
It is said that the nine-tailed fox fairy who lives here has been practicing Taoism for tens of thousands of years, and Shen Qingjiu is just a high school student, sitting on it is the sea of Canghai, and Shen Qingjiu is a drop in the ocean.
Bai Ruyu wrapped one hand around a strand of hair hanging in front of him, and his two beautiful eyes turned around, and said: "The old man calls his predecessor when he sees everyone, he is a person, how can he compare his age with the demon, nine-tailed fox, what did the old man put in your place, don't sell it, take it out!" ”
The old man said slowly: "I have been sleeping for a thousand years, and I still have such a frizzy character, don't worry, I should give it, I won't keep it, Shen Qingjiu, you come forward." ”
Hearing his name, Shen Qingjiu took a deep breath and responded: "Yes, senior." ”
She walked forward, and when she walked to the water's edge, she took a breath, jumped over the water, and came to the front of the old man, holding an umbrella in one hand and pressing on top of this hand with the other, bowing her head slightly, and saying: "Junior Shen Qingjiu, I have seen the nine-tailed fox senior." ”
The girl in front of her, who looks smart, is also respectful and powerful, and the nine-tailed fox on the seat is also very satisfied in her eyes, and she strokes the white hair hanging down her chest with one hand, and speaks slowly: "Shen Qingjiu, clear as fine wine, this name is also smart, I don't know if Shao Siyu can tell you about your responsibility, and I will listen." ”
Shen Qingjiu said tentatively: "Save the common people? ”
Hearing her answer, the old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said: "That's right, yes, it's to save the common people, this statement is very correct, Shaosiyu, Shaosiyu, you are still as usual, you can't be serious anymore, a little girl, you talk like this, but it will scare her." ”
Shao Siyu, who was standing not far away, listened to him, but he was unmoved, carrying his back with one hand and not saying a word.
Bai Ruyu said with a smile: "The old man is bold, his heir will naturally not be timid, when he becomes the heir of the Shen family, he has to bear this responsibility on his shoulders, but it's you, the fox, who really don't scare the little girl." ”
Shen Qingjiu thought in his heart, Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu are probably really familiar with this nine-tailed fox, listening to the conversation between them, they are also familiar with each other's temperament, but I don't know what this nine-tailed fox is going to give to him, and what does this thing have to do with it?
Just when she couldn't think of a reason, the old man had already raised his arm, and with a light wave of the dust in his hand, a brilliant light flew out of his hand, hovering in the air, and in a short time, an object fell in the hovering light, and the object fell steadily in the old man's hand.
The brilliance disappeared, and the old man spoke again: "In ancient times, Zhurong Gonggong was defeated, and he was angry and collided with Buzhou Mountain, causing the sky to collapse, and the demons lost their restraints, and went to the world for disaster. ”
As he spoke, the old man sent his arm forward, and the book that fell into his hand flew up from the palm of his hand, and came to Shen Qingjiu's face, and Shen Qingjiu also saw the name of the book clearly, with five gilded characters on it, "Secrets of Mountains and Seas".
And when Shen Qingjiu opened the book, she only saw a piece of white paper, and there was no content on it, until she turned to the last page, and she didn't see a word, is this the rumored book of heaven?
Shen Qingjiu glanced blankly at the nine-tailed fox on the seat.
The nine-tailed fox met her eyes, and suddenly realized, and said: "I forgot to tell you, the demons imprisoned in this book have been scattered to the world, and you need to find the inheritors of the ancient beasts, and they will help you reseal the demons scattered in the world here, and when you finish these things, the so-called human catastrophe will be solved." ”
It sounds like a very simple thing, all Shen Qingjiu needs to do is to find someone who has the ability to help her solve her troubles, and how to find these strange beasts, there doesn't seem to be a clear guide, so Shen Qingjiu's eyes are still at a loss.
The nine-tailed fox looked extremely patient and said, "You can try it first, the skills passed down to you by the Shen family will allow you to find what you need." ”
The skills of the Shen family?
Thinking of this, Shen Qingjiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then his hands were raised, the black and white umbrella in his hand was across her wrists, his hands were put together, his fingers were crossed, and there were words in his mouth: "Lin, Bing, Fight, Person, Both, Array, Column, Front, Line!" ”
The voice was prevented from falling, and I saw that the book "Secrets of Mountains and Seas" was actually erected, separated from the middle, and a cyan light shot out, as if it had its own thoughts, looking for a direction to shine through.
Shen Qingjiu's gaze also followed the light, not only her, but also other people's eyes were also chasing this light, and this light shone on the little fox's body impartially.
The little fox rolled a pair of round eyes, looking curiously, and suddenly, this light suddenly entered her body, and in an instant, the white light appeared, and a phantom appeared on the little fox's body, several meters tall, almost touching the top of the cave, and behind the phantom, nine tails, like a huge fan, spread out.
The changes came too fast, it was dizzying, and Shen Qingjiu said again in a daze: "There is a nine-tailed fox?!" ”
The little fox also tilted his head to look at the phantom that appeared from his body, but the phantom did not last long, and after a few seconds, the phantom disappeared, and the little white fox was still the little fox.
"The Secret Story of Mountains and Seas" also fell from mid-air, Shen Qingjiu hurriedly reached out to catch it, although the book did not have a word, but it was outrageously heavy, and Shen Qingjiu's arms were sour and numb.
Standing next to the nine-tailed fox, the gluttony raised her head and flicked the small bell on her head, causing the little bell to ring non-stop, she turned a pair of dark eyes, and said: "The first one that the mountains and seas are looking for is actually a little fox, but is she a strange beast or a demon?" ”
The little fox is as white as a snow ball, and the demon shouldn't be so cute...... bar.
Shen Qingjiu blinked, looked at the nine-tailed fox, and said, "Senior, what does this mean?" ”
The nine-tailed fox groaned for a long time and said: "The mother of the little fox is from Qingqiu, there is a fox in Qingqiu, and the little fox inherits the mantle of her mother, she is the descendant of the first strange beast you found, so it seems that she is destined to go with you." ”
"Can I go to Demon City?"
The little fox's excited ears stood up, and his eyes sparkled even more, and he couldn't stop dancing.
The nine-tailed fox nodded lightly and said: "You can go to the demon city, but you don't have a hukou in the demon city, the demon hunters will inevitably target you, if you want to live in the demon city safely and soundly, you need a hukou, Shen Qingjiu, and leave this matter to you." ”
The demon city can indeed give the demon a household registration, but Shen Qingjiu has never registered the demon, and besides, didn't he say that he found a descendant of a strange beast to help him get rid of the demon, this little fox still has to rely on herself to protect it, how can she help herself get rid of the demon, isn't this nothing to do?
Bai Ruyu, who was standing in the distance, whispered to Tong Shao Siyu: "After so many years, this old fox is still so unreliable, who can she beat if she gets a little fox who has not yet become an adult." ”
Shao Siyu raised a finger, put it to his lips, and made a silent gesture at her, Bai Ruyu closed her mouth and didn't say anything more.
Shen Qingjiu was actually not very willing to take this little fox with her, she said in a tangled manner: "Senior, it is better for the little fox to stay with you, although the demon city is a place where people and demons live together, but the city is full of demon hunters, and it is not very safe." ”
Hearing her say this, the little fox stopped doing it, kicked a pair of eyes, jumped up on the spot, and said, "Hmph! I'm not afraid of demon killers, I'm the designated inheritor of the Book of Mountains and Seas, I must follow you! ”
The nine-tailed fox also spoke at this time, and said: "The person designated by the "Secret Stories of Mountains and Seas" is the necessary help for you on the road to saving the common people, and take it, it is not early, and you will also return to the demon city, go!" ”
He said "go", shook off the dust in his hand, Shen Qingjiu only felt as if there were floating clouds in front of him, and when he looked at it again, he was already standing outside the forest, the nine-tailed fox and the fox fairy cave were gone, but the snow-white little fox was following them, and it seemed that he was going to follow them to the demon city.
