The person who came was none other than Shen Ning and others who followed Xu Wugen all the way to the cave.

When he saw Shen Ning and them, Xu Wugen's lips opened slightly, trembling all over, and he was speechless in surprise.

The fox fairy stood up with a huge body, protected Xu Wugen behind him, and let out a roar that resounded through the mountains and forests, "Do you have to kill it cleanly?" If that's the case, let my father go, and I'll leave it at your disposal. ”

Shen Ning ignored the fox fairy's fierce appearance, but asked lightly: "You tell me, the corpses of those dead people in your cave mansion, but what did you do?" ”

The fox fairy obviously didn't expect Shen Ning to ask like this, but he knew that since he asked like this, it meant that Shen Ning was very likely to be willing to give him a glimmer of life, so he replied: "As a monster, I am mixed with the demons in the mountains, if I don't eat people and drink blood, where can I be tolerated?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Ning nodded, but Li Hongye said coldly: "Since this is the case, there is no need to keep him." ”

Li Hongye, who was about to make a move, was stopped by Shen Ning.

"I'm curious, why do you call rootless a father?"

Shen Ning was at Xu Ya'er's house before, and when he learned about Xu Wugen's situation, he asked about his family, and Xu Yaer mentioned that Xu Wugen had a son, but he died on the mountain many years ago.

In addition, when Shen Ning fought with the fox fairy before, the fox fairy once said that Xu Ya'er had a marriage contract with him, so he asked this question, wanting to verify some conjectures in his heart.

Xu Wugen's father and son glanced at each other, and the fox fairy hesitated for a long time, and finally said truthfully: "I am actually the son who died when he went to the mountains to hunt many years ago. ”

Shen Ning's thoughts in his heart were verified, and he couldn't help but nodded.

The others' expressions changed slightly, and they didn't expect that the demon in front of them was actually changed by a human.

"Oh? So, what happened in the middle of the process? ”

"Don't talk about it, don't ask!" Xu Wugen remembered the past and hugged his head painfully, sitting on the ground as if he was repenting, as if he was annoyed.

The fox fairy glanced at his father, knowing that if he didn't answer the question of the young man in front of him, what was waiting for their father and son was likely to be irreparable, so he still replied: "Many years ago, this village in Xujiazhuang has not rained for several years. This led to a terrible famine, when every family was left to eat, but even this famine still gripped the land, and people died every day. ”

Shen Ning had also heard Xu Ya'er mention this matter, so he motioned to the fox fairy to continue.

I just listened to the fox fairy tell the story:

It turned out that many years ago, Xujiazhuang suffered a famine, and Xu Wugen had no choice but to lead the strong men in the village to eat the last full meal, ready to run to the nearby mountains to see if there was any water source or hunt some wild beasts to solve the urgent need.

At first things went very well, and the people walked in the mountains for a few days and killed many wild beasts, although some people were injured by this, but on the whole the situation was good, but when they drank up the water they brought, they were surprised to find that they had been looking for so long in the mountains and forests, and they had not found even a spring.

Immediately, a man proposed to go back to Xujiazhuang first to bring these foods back, and then come back when the next time the preparations were sufficient.

However, this proposal was opposed by Xu Wugen for three reasons.

The first point is that after they return with their prey, people from other villages will definitely come to hunt, and when they come back, they will not only have to face unknown dangers in the mountains and forests, but also beware of threats from people from other villages.

The second point is that this mountain forest is a certain distance from Xujiazhuang, and once and again, these prey are easy to spoil, so it is better to dry them on the spot and bring them back.

Last but not least, there are quite a few injured people, and there are exactly the herbs they need in the mountains, and if they leave before enough herbs can be found, there is a good chance that these injured people will die from festering wounds.

For many reasons, they chose to stay, but fortunately they finally found a water source in the mountains and forests, but unfortunately, disaster began because of this.

They survived on the water source, and there were many wild beasts in the mountains who had to go to the water source to drink in order to survive, so their hunt went more smoothly, but just as they were about to leave, they ran into a man in black who was seriously injured.

Xu Wugen is kind, they saved this man in black, however, when this man woke up, he imprisoned them, this man in black is a cultivator, and they don't have any ability to resist.

The man in black used them to try all kinds of pills, and many of them died, and Xu Wugen was older, so the man in black only imprisoned him and did not let him try the pills, but Xu Yongzhen, who was strong and strong, became his best test object.

When his companions died painfully one after another because of the pills, although Xu Yongzhen was tortured, he finally survived when he thought of the old lady who was still waiting for them to go back at home.

On a moonless night, the man in black dug out Xu Yongzhen's heart and replaced him with the heart of a demon beast, at that moment, Xu Yongzhen came to life, his body began to swell, and hairs like silver needles grew out of his body, and he became a fox demon.

Feeling his sudden power, Xu Yongzhen instantly burst out, he wanted to kill the man in black to avenge his fellow villagers, but even if he had the power of the demon, he was still easily subdued by the man in black.

Unexpectedly, the man in black did not mean to kill Li Yongzhen's father and son.

Before he left, Xu Yongzhen still remembers that scene.

The bright moon swayed in the mountains and forests, and the back of the man in black looked so evil, and his side face showed a mocking smile.

"Your father and son saved me, so I should consider it a gift from me."

Gift!

Is turning yourself into a demon a gift?

Xu Yongzhen was resentful in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only watch the man in black walk away.

When the man in black left, he left behind a book, which was about the cultivation method of demons, and the various methods on it were extremely cruel, most of them relied on devouring people's essence and flesh to cultivate, and the only one that was relatively mild was a cultivation law called incense fire enlightenment.

Perhaps in order to take revenge, or to protect his family, Xu Yongzhen embarked on the path of incense enlightenment.

For this reason, Xu Wugen lied that his son was dead, and he met the so-called fox fairy in the mountains, so that every household in Xujiazhuang set up a plaque to worship Li Yongzhen, so as to help his son become an immortal as soon as possible.

Xu Yongzhen turned into a fox demon, so naturally he didn't dare to return to the villa and leave, so he had to disguise himself as a profound demon and mingle with the spirits in the mountains, which was the only way for him to survive and not be eradicated by passing monks.

As for Xu Yongzhen's mother, she became crazy when she saw her son become like this, and she couldn't accept the blow.

"Don't say it, don't say it."

Xu Wugen squatted on the ground holding his head in pain and cried, this old man who was over half a hundred years old was crying helplessly like a child at the moment.
