Qi Jingzhi could see clearly, on the ground not far from his feet, there was a rib of a large animal such as a cow and a horse, which was thought to be something used by foxes to "saw" trees before.

About three feet in front of him stood a short, crimson figure, estimated to be less than a foot tall, even thinner than the one last night.

However, the moment Qi Jingzhi saw the other party, he had already concluded that this was the old fox, just because the other party had an aging and decaying aura from the inside out.

It was red all over, except for a very conspicuous tuft of white fluff growing in the middle of its forehead, which grew a little longer than the red hairs around it, and was gently shaken by the majestic wind of the forest.

Seeing the young man, the old fox didn't say a word, just stared at the killer in front of him with his brown fox eyes full of hatred.

The eyes of one person and one fox were only on the same page, and Qi Jingzhi saw a flower in front of him when he boarded, only to feel that the sky was full of colors and confusion.

Almost at the same time, a strong wind slammed into the right side of his neck, and a disgusting stench rushed into his nostrils.

At this time, Qi Jingzhi's eyes were no longer able to see, and he immediately lowered his eyebrows, and without hesitation, he took a step forward, squatted on his knees, and stood on his feet as if rooted.

Immediately afterward, with the help of his feet, his limbs stretched out violently, with his right foot as the axis, his whole body turned sideways to the right rear, driving his right arm to swing the knife back fiercely, and his mouth spit out a vicious breath fiercely, and at the same time let out a short and fierce roar.

"Be careful!"

It was only then that the screams of the old red fox reached the ears of the young man.

It reminded of nature not Qi Jingzhi, but unfortunately it was too late.

In the flash of light, the strong wind just now fell into the air, and it folded on the trunk of the ancient tree, and it had already rushed towards Qi Jingzhi's back again, as if he had thrown himself into a net, and happened to hit the young man's fierce blade head-on.

In the terrible scream, blood splattered in the air, and a snow-white fox paw fell to the ground.

After Qi Jingzhi exhaled, the chaotic colors that covered his eyes suddenly dissipated.

He suddenly raised his eyes, and the corner of his eye just caught a touch of snow-white figure.

"Listening to the voice, it was the second girl, but I didn't expect it to be a white fox...... I don't know if it was hiding from the old fox and returning, or if it was originally part of this trap. ”

Qi Jingzhi turned this thought in his heart, didn't even look at the red old fox, and immediately took a big stride and chased straight after the white fox with a broken claw.

Between running and jumping, the teenager's breathing naturally runs according to the crane method, landing is sinking, sinking is swallowing, lifting feet is floating, floating is exhaling, like a big bird gliding close to the ground, it seems that the toes are just a little light, the whole person jumps forward sharply, and a few ups and downs chase the front.

Feeling the evil wind behind him, the white fox, who was struggling to escape with three paws, instantly realized the danger.

In a hurry, it turned its head sharply, and its large, charming eyes were full of tears and pleading.

The young man in the mountains was unmoved, stepped on the fox body with one foot, and immediately raised the knife and fell!

The ox-eared sharp knife pierced the white fox's neck in an instant from top to bottom, and simply nailed it to the ground.

"Second sister!"

The red old fox watched this happen, and let out a desperate wail from his mouth.

Qi Jingzhi kicked on the corpse of the white fox, pulled out his knife, and turned in the direction of the red old fox.

His eyes were lowered, and he made up his mind not to look into the other's eyes again.

The red old fox didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately turned around and fled.

Qi Jingzhi didn't say a word, he picked up the fox corpse from the ground with a short body, and chased after him with a knife.

This old fox is not young, and his speed is extremely fast, like a red electric light, often in the grass and trees, with a single force, he can suddenly turn around, flickering east and west, and change to an ordinary hunter, just afraid that he will be chased and lost in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Qi Jingzhi is also astonishing and his five senses are also keen, so that he can always be left behind, so as not to be thrown off by the other party.

This chase and escape are enough to pass a cup of tea.

Qi Jingzhi jumped high and low, overcame thorns and thorns, ran in a dense forest for a long time, and suddenly felt that the sky was bright in front of him, and his vision suddenly broadened.

I saw that among the barren mountains and weeds in front of me, there was a half-collapsed black-tiled and white wall, and a crimson tail flashed away at the gap in the wall.

Qi Jingzhi's expression changed, and he immediately slowed down.

When he looked up, he saw the ancient trees in the ruins in front of him, and a section of the eaves covered with blue and black tiles could be faintly seen in the gaps in the leaves, and there were several incomplete roof beasts on the towering eaves.

Qi Jingzhi had only seen this style of eaves in the county government and the City God Temple, but the eaves in those two places were not as high as in front of him, and the number of roof beasts was even less.

Qi Jingzhi saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. His family lived on the outskirts of Komatsu Mountain, and he had never heard of such a place in the depths of this mountain.

"Komatsu Mountain is not a famous mountain, this temple is so grand, and the specifications are extremely high...... If this is a temple and palace, I am afraid that it is not the mountain god mentioned by Mengfuzi who can enjoy it...... And no matter which god is enshrined in it, if the temple is built here, not to mention the cost of labor and money, will someone really come to worship? ”

"This place looks like it has been abandoned for many years, and I am afraid that it has long since become the nest of the foxes, or ...... It is precisely because of the existence of this temple that the incense is cut off that so many fox spirits are breeded? ”

Qi Jing's heart became more and more vigilant, but he did not stop there. Since they have found the other party's lair, there is no reason to pass through the door and not enter.

Carrying a knife, he cautiously walked through the gap in the courtyard wall.

The courtyard is deep and grassy, and a huge moon flower tree grows unscrupulously, occupying a small half of the courtyard, and the pink flowers are hundreds and thousands, blooming brightly.

This courtyard seems to have been a small garden, but it is completely impossible to see what flowers and plants have been planted except for the moon season.

Not far behind the Yueji Flower Tree, a zigzag verandah passes through the courtyard, and the red lacquer and blue tiles on the verandah have faded their color.

Judging from the direction, this verandah seems to lead to the tall blue-tiled temple.

Qi Jingzhi silently looked around, and saw that there was no red old fox in this small garden, so he immediately used a knife to open the grass, bypassed the moon season flower tree, and jumped into the verandah.

There were still vague colored paintings on the inner roof and pillars of the verandah, and the boy looked up and saw that most of them depicted the same goddess.

The goddess wore her hair loose and wore only a light white gauze dress, and her graceful figure loomed.

Sometimes she was shrouded in a number of suspended glowing balls, sometimes she wore them in a string and hung them around her neck, and sometimes she stood in the water, as if bathing them.

Qi Jingzhi counted carefully, and there were no more or no less balls in each painting, all of them were twelve.

"This represents the twelve months of the year?"

Seeing that the balls in the painting were soft and pale in color, very similar to the full moon in the sky, and the number was exactly twelve, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but have a guess in his heart: "Is this goddess in the painting the moon lord of the eight masters?" ”

Thinking of this, the young man shook his head secretly: "The people of Daqi know that the Moon Lord is also known as the God of the Moon Emperor, the Guanghan Qingxu Tianzun, and every night he will survey the moon and the sky, and there has never been one moon hanging on the moon car he drives, how could there have been as many as twelve?" ”

As his thoughts turned, Qi Jingzhi suddenly remembered the legend of the Holy King Fengshen mentioned by Meng Fuzi, and he had a guess in his heart: "The dress of this person in the painting is so simple and ancient, could it be that he is the moon god in ancient times?" After King Wucheng was crowned the god of the eight masters, this ancient god was replaced by the moon lord and cut off the incense offerings, so it gradually disappeared into oblivion? ”

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi's expression immediately became serious.

If this place is really as he guessed, then this ancient god is undoubtedly an evil god, and his temple is of course obscene, once it is discovered by the government, it will definitely destroy the statue, raze the temple, and punish all the witches, and it is no wonder that this temple is hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

As for those occult believers who build temples in the mountains and make offerings to evil gods, although they may not all be bad people, they are by no means good.

After all, the Daqi government has long issued a clear order, and the officials of various prefectures, counties and counties must post notices every year to reiterate: "Anyone who worships evil gods, creates disgusting charms, evil words and demon books, and spreads them to confuse the public will be beheaded!" ”

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but become more vigilant: "I'm afraid this place is not a good place, it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time, maybe there are remnants hidden in the secret, or there are some organs left to guard against foreign enemies, I have to be cautious!" ”
