Chapter 49: Breaking the Ring

Lin Bao tried his best to control his expression.

But the aching arm was undoubtedly telling me that the woman floating in mid-air was the one in his dream.

When I looked up, the woman was sweet and very temperamental.

I don't know if it's the fox girl's outfit that makes her look wild and a little sacred.

In the body of a female ghost, you can see the sacredness of disobedience.

From this point of view, the fox worshipped by Foxtail Village may really be a spirit that has cultivated to a certain climate.

But strangely, I didn't find this sense of sacredness in the current fox girl.

Zhai Feng suddenly stuffed a paper bag for each of us to swallow.

When I saw it, it was exactly the kind that the villagers had looted the night before.

In order not to arouse suspicion, we immediately stuffed the paper bag into our mouths.

Zhai Feng nodded reassuringly and cast his gaze into the air again.

But we didn't swallow the packet, we just held it in our mouths.

Who knows what this kid is giving me, I don't want his way.

On the way here, the old man and Lin Bao took a special medicine.

Naturally, the two of them could see the female ghost as well.

But although the current fox girl's gaze is also cast on the sky, she is obviously looking in the wrong direction.

Interesting, the fox girl in charge of the sacrifice didn't even have yin and yang eyes.

Zhai Feng stared at the female ghost in the air tightly, his expression was very complicated.

Thunder and lightning.

The female ghost in mid-air was very angry, and thunder and lightning struck near the village, startling countless birds and beasts.

She can't see the village?

Or could she not see the people in the village?

I wondered.

So far, I've seen a lot of ghosts, and this is the first time I've seen a ghost see a person.

The paper bag in his mouth gradually became wet with saliva, and the bitter taste of fishy smell spread in his mouth.

It dawned on me that the problem seemed to be with the paper package.

The villagers had all eaten the paper packet, and all three of us had it in our mouths.

This thing makes ghosts invisible to us!

I'm a little glad we were more careful and didn't swallow it as Zhai Feng commanded.

Take this paper bag back and analyze it carefully, maybe you can collect it for your own use.

The female ghost is still wreaking havoc, and I'm afraid that keeping an eye on her will arouse Zhai Feng's suspicion of us.

After just a few brief glances, I shifted my gaze.

Lin Bao was also controlling herself, hiding in the crowd with her head down, although her body was trembling, she looked more like she was afraid.

The old man was even more playful, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and kept chanting "God bless" in his mouth.

I couldn't help but smile, feigned nervousness, and looked around.

Most of the villagers were scared, but they didn't lose control, and they all hugged each other tightly, waiting for the thunder to pass.

After half an hour, the resentment in the air became thinner and thinner, and the female ghost finally had no power to continue the destruction, and she took a deep look in the direction of the altar before dispersing.

When the villagers saw that the sky was clear again, they began to cheer.

"Seven days later, we are still here, please don't forget to ask me for the rune paper."

Zhai Feng turned around, his face a little ugly.

The villagers were overjoyed, and then they all knelt down in unison, making the three of us stand in place, a little out of the crowd, but fortunately no one cared about our unsociable behavior.

The crowd gradually dispersed, Zhai Feng took Lin Bao and the old man back to the academy, and I stayed where I was.

The current fox girl glanced at me, then beckoned to me.

As a new resident of the village, and having just experienced this quirky assembly.

I have enough reasons to know more, and it is the fox girl's responsibility to explain it to me.

Follow the fox girl into the ancestral hall.

In the center of the main hall is a stone statue of a fox.

This statue should have been hand-carved by the villagers, and it was so rough that it could only be seen that it was a fox looking up to the sky and roaring.

The fox has three tails on its back, one of which is half broken.

What struck me as strange was that there wasn't any incense in front of the statue.

The fox girl stretched out her hand and pointed to a few straw futons on the ground, and then sat down first.

Apparently it had been sat on by many villagers, and there was obviously a layer of black sticky ash on it, so I was disgusted and simply sat cross-legged on the floor tiles.

The fox girl didn't mind, she looked at me calmly, and said slowly: "I know that you are very curious about the village, since the gentleman agrees with you to stay, then it is necessary for me to tell you about the village." ”

I nodded.

"Fox Tail Village is a village blessed by the fox god."

"We, the fox girl, are the spokesperson of the fox god in the world, and are responsible for protecting the peace of the village."

"The fox god will give us mana, so that we can deal with mountain spirits and wild monsters, and let us be qualified to return our dead souls to Wohu Slope and be born in the village again."

My brain thumped.

After death, he does not enter the underworld, but is born again in the village?

I glanced at the statue of the fox and frowned slightly.

This fox god actually has the ability to make a small reincarnation by himself outside the six realms of reincarnation.

Compared to Yin Si, this village is equivalent to a black workshop.

I'm just starting to join the company, and I'm about to solve a big case?

I was secretly happy in my heart, but my face was still impassive.

"It's just that now the fox god no longer protects us, and the mana given to us has also been taken back."

The fox girl sighed softly.

She seemed helpless about the situation in front of her.

No wonder incense is no longer offered in front of the statue, and the villagers here also have great opinions about the fox god.

If you help me, I will worship you.

If you don't help me, I'll cut off your incense.

It's a matter of love and hate.

No wonder the current fox girl can't even see ghosts, it turns out that this is the reason.

Wait a minute?

Mana retracted?

I suddenly remembered the sense of sacredness in the female ghost.

A bold idea arose in my mind.

That mana should not have been withdrawn, but it was not carried over from the previous generation of fox girls.

In other words...

What the fox god approves is the former fox girl who has become a ghost!

I controlled the calmness of my expression, and the fox girl didn't see any signs in my face.

"Each generation of fox girls is selected from among eighteen-year-old girls and holds this position until they are twenty-eight years old."

Decade?

I suddenly remembered that Zhai Feng also arrived here ten years ago.

"So why did the fox god give up protection, what happened ten years ago?"

I asked.

"Yes, during the reign of the fox girl, in order to ensure smooth communication with the fox god, it was necessary to maintain a clean virgin body, but the previous fox girl, in the tenth year of her reign and when she was about to step down, she broke her vows."

Hearing this, the first thing that came to my mind was Lin Bao.

But that's just a dream, and it shouldn't be mapped to reality.

"Why did you break the vows?"

"Because... Sir..."

The fox girl bit her lip and said with difficulty.
