Chapter 54: The Goddess

On the corridor of the small building of Zhuoyun, it is the turning point.

Leaning over is the clear water of the pool, surrounded by grass and trees, the uninterrupted murmuring sound of water in your ears, surrounded by the melodious chirping of birds, and the hazy enchantment and bright sunshine in your eyes. It's always spring here, but this beautiful illusion can't cover up the grievances and entanglements outside the enchantment. In time, Cangli and Aoki Zhuo couldn't really ask for the shackles of fate, and ended up with a bleak ending.

I was still immersed in the vague memories, though I knew very well that they didn't belong to me.

Yun Jin's injuries seemed to recover quickly, and its whispering came from behind the house, all of which were extremely similar to the pictures in his memory. It's just that the person in the golden armor is missing. And I, standing where he had stood, deliberately thinking about the details, found that the memory was broken here.

I brought Ruyuan back to Zhuoyun Xiaozhu. She was fine, just fainted.

When I got back, I was in this corridor and thought about it. I don't know when, Ruyuan has already walked behind me.

"I mean, that's where you live. At first, I thought there was only an endless miasma in this forest. ”

I suddenly came back to my senses, turned around, and looked at Ruyuan gently brushing her sideburns hair. Looking at her now, I don't feel very annoying.

"That's not miasma, it's demonic energy. ”

She was slightly surprised, but immediately returned to normal.

"Then why don't you see a powerful demon emerging in this forest?"

I smiled slightly: "If there are such powerful demons everywhere, can you still come and go as freely as you did at the beginning? With only one me, you will have enough trouble dealing with it, right? The true yuan of the nine-tailed fox is extremely coveted by many demons." ”

"Don't taunt me. Ruyuan turned his face away, and then turned back, "Next, what are you going to do?

"I don't know what to do. "I was immediately lost and had no clue.

"Then you're not going to find your lover?"

I smiled bitterly: "Why bother looking for it? If you find it, will you be able to get rid of these entanglements?"

"If you want me to say, this has nothing to do with you in the first place, so why bother. ”

"Yes, it has nothing to do with me......," I repeated indifferently, "but I always feel that it has a lot to do with me...... I don't know what's wrong, there is always an inexplicable force that keeps me going, and I can't refuse. ”

Returning to the dust and the hidden wind are destined to resurrect Cangli with the sword of cangrong, but if the sword of cangrong is lost, there will be no way to restrain the poison in me. However, since I decided to deal with that monster, I have not had any hope of being able to escape, so why should I go to the trouble of searching for a way to save the poison? Or, I just hope that Cang Li can be resurrected? But why should I hope that he will be resurrected? There seems to be a voice in my heart that constantly reminds me that I have an inextricable entanglement with Cang Li. Do I ...... to him So what is Meng Yunzhong?......

I hurriedly pulled back the chaotic reverie, and with a change of thought, since I took the fragment of Jade Ruyi from the hand of the hidden wind that day, let's go down.

"Don't you know a lot of secrets?

In the face of my sudden question, Ruyuan touched his index finger to his lips and thought carefully before saying to me, "I really don't know this." It seems that there is no more information about it in the memory left by the mother. All I know is that it is a sacred relic of our Nine-Tailed Fox clan, and there is a hallucination in it. That day, my sister said that it could detoxify my desires, and I was really surprised. Maybe everyone else doesn't know except the patriarch. ”

"The patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan......"

I lowered my head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Then why don't you go and find your patriarch?"

"Looking for the patriarch?" Ruyuan was really a little shocked at the moment.

"Not bad. Do you know the stronghold of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?"

"Stronghold......" Ruyuan looked at me, still incredible.

But she immediately shook her head, and said to me quite solemnly, "I can't take you there...... I stole the secret art, according to the clan rules, I will die, I don't want to throw myself into the net. ”

"Have you ever wondered why you stole the secret arts, but no one from your tribe came to capture you?"

"That's because...... They simply can't get out. ”

At this moment, I was a little surprised.

"Can't get out? What do you mean?"

"That's a long story. According to legend, the goddess of Wushan is the daughter of the ancient god Shennong, named Yaoji, who is extremely beautiful, but jealous and hateful. She was especially fond of mortals, so she traveled far and wide. One day, Yao Ji came to Wushan, happened to encounter an evil dragon disturbed the people around Wushan, complaining, Yao Ji was furious, so she killed the evil dragon with the jasper hairpin given to her by Shennong, but she didn't want the evil dragon to die after the ghost lingered, turned into a steep and steep mountain, and there were twelve dangerous peaks towering in the clouds, as if she was provoking the divine realm, venting her anger. Moreover, the evil spiritual power it left still endangered the mortals around Wushan. Therefore, Yao Ji simply stayed in Wushan and suppressed the evil dragon with her own divine power until the evil dragon's spiritual power was exhausted and could no longer harm the world.

Legend has it that Yao Ji met Dayu in Wushan and had secret feelings for him, but Dayu was bent on controlling the water and was not moved by Yao Ji. Later, Yao Ji gave Dayu "Huang Aya Treasure Scroll" to help him split Wushan and divert water into the Yangtze River. But Dayu finally decided to leave. So Yao Ji misses Dayu all day long, often standing on the highest peak of Wushan and looking into the distance, is looking in the direction of Dayu's departure, as if looking at Dayu from afar. Later, the goddess of Wushan died of depression, died of incense, and died unmarried. Finally, I was forever immersed in the thoughts of Dayu. Shennong buried her in Wushan, and also used his divine power to shape the peak of Yaoji into a goddess peak to commemorate his beloved daughter.

"After the death of the goddess of Wushan, the spirit turns into grass, which is actually Ganoderma lucidum, and the residual aura turns into Yao grass, which can cure all kinds of diseases and prolong life, I guess, it is what we often call the revival grass. So there are many immortal mushrooms and rejuvenating herbs near her tomb. These fairy grasses were protected by her remaining spiritual power, and they became the forbidden domain of Lingzhi. Therefore, the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain is where the tomb of the goddess of Wushan is located.

"Many years ago, the Lush Forest refused to take in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, so they found the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain and hid there. Originally, there was nothing to do, but I didn't want the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to somehow anger the Goddess Yin Spirit, so the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain was suddenly surrounded by a powerful enchantment, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was trapped near the Goddess's Tomb, and they could no longer get out of the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain. The barrier came into existence after my mother was expelled from the group......"

"Then how did you come out?" After listening to the story of the goddess of Wushan, I had many questions or speculations in my heart.

"I don't know, I just came out. After I stole the secret art, I was afraid that my clan would find out, so I ran out of the Lingzhi forbidden area. I always thought this rumor was false. But when I came out, I didn't see any people chasing after me. "I was confused when I told it casually.

"Could it be that the enchantment of the Wushan Priestess has no effect on you alone?"

"Maybe it's because I haven't been in the race since I was a child, and maybe the goddess doesn't think of me as a member of this race anymore. Ruyuan smiled charmingly and proudly.

"In that case, you can still take me there. I also stopped the endless conjecture, turned to look at Ruyuan, and smiled calmly.

Ruyuan frowned slightly and pursed her lips: "Are you really going?"

"At this moment, there is no other way but to try. ”

Ruyuan lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head, and said very embarrassed: "Okay, just go, they can't chase it anyway, as long as they don't get caught." ”

"Have you thought about it?" I paused, and continued in her previous tone, "If you want me to say, this matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, so why bother?

She looked at me meaningfully, with a teasing smile on her face.

"Double-lodging amphibious, then you have a little more ability, now help me get rid of your poison first!" I glanced at her with a fake stumbling look.

"Do you still miss that day...... How does it feel to help him detoxify?" she said to me in the slightest and said to me even more in a weird way.

I pulled her away, but the mood that had not been very clear seemed to ease a lot.

But then, she turned her head again and said with a slight meaning: "To say, our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is also related to the Wushan Goddess. I heard that the jade hairpin, the magic weapon used by the goddess to kill the evil dragon, was once transferred to the original lord of Qingqiu Country by accident, and it was the former patriarch of our nine-tailed fox clan. After that, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan worshipped it as a sacred relic, and was able to harness its incomparably powerful power. In this way, Jade Ruyi is also a sacred relic of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, will it have any connection with the jade hairpin?"

I listened intently to what she said, and there were many speculations in my mind, but I couldn't be sure. But after such a reminder from Ruyuan, I feel more hopeful.

"Could it be that the goddess found out that you stole her hairpin, so that the nine-tailed fox clan was trapped in Wushan?"

"Phew, what are you stealing? It is said that a demon catcher brought it to Qingqiu Country. It was that person who finally caused the destruction of the Qingqiu Kingdom, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan lost their homes and wandered around. Hmph!" Speaking of demon catchers, Ruyuan seemed to be very angry. But I know that her state of mind at the moment must be more of a contradiction, and the reason for the contradiction is naturally her father as a demon hunter.

"Retribution...... Why does hatred last so long?, even for irrelevant, will remember it......" I sighed to myself, but more like I was speaking to myself.

"Demons don't understand the complex thinking of those mortals, I only know that if you do evil, you should bear the consequences of doing evil. The demon catcher harmed the entire nine-tailed fox clan, so he should bear the consequences, but unfortunately his life span is too short, so it can only be counted as his descendants. ”

Ruyuan didn't seem to understand the meaning, but for her, karma seemed to be very simple. Demons don't have the complex thinking of mortals, so naturally they don't need to have so many concerns. What about me? What am I? Am I not the same demon as her?

"Okay, what are you going to do with all this uselessness, when are you going to take me?" I asked, putting aside the reverie that had begun to flood infinitely again.

"It's up to you. Ruyuan said lightly.

"Tomorrow. ”

I only heard a low roar from behind the house, and I smiled indifferently. Maybe Yun Jin knows that this is another blessing and a curse.
