When the patriarch sat down on the throne, Ruyuan still stood in place and looked at him with a questioning face.

"I already felt that something was wrong, if I guessed correctly, there should be demonic energy around the tomb of this goddess. ”

Ruyuan was even more surprised when she heard my words, but I continued: "In order to protect the clansmen, the patriarch forcibly used his demonic power to suppress the demonic energy, and after a long time, he will naturally become weak because he consumes too much spiritual power. Am I right?"

"Demonic Qi, how can there be demonic qi in the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain?Grandpa!Is what Yinluo said true?" Ruyuan was eager to get an answer.

"It's true. The answer was Zisang, who was originally silent on the sidelines, "Not only that, but the patriarch also wants to forcibly use demonic power to break free from the barrier that traps my clan, so ......" Zisang's words stopped here.

"So what!" Ruyuan was indeed a little anxious.

"So, the patriarch has urged the power of the true element......"

"True Yuan Power!" Ruyuan's eyes widened, and even I was a little surprised.

You must know that although the power of the true element is strong, once it is forcibly urged, it will definitely cause a lot of damage to itself. The last time I urged the power of the True Yuan to awaken the pure spirit qi of the Skillful Spirit Bead, I had lost all the ability to resist for a while, and if it weren't for the Sword of Cangrong, I was afraid that I would have lost the hands of others at that time. And now the patriarch is allowing his true yuan to be consumed for a long time, while hurting himself, as long as the power of the true yuan is gradually exhausted, then his life will come to an end......

"Why should the patriarch be like this? The power of the True Yuan is exhausted, but I am afraid that it will be...... There is no way to return to heaven. ”

"I am the head of a clan, and it is my mission to protect the people of my clan. Originally, when our clan came to the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain, we didn't find the demonic qi, and I don't know when it began, a faint black mist began to spread, and more and more, more and more dense, and even some clansmen began to be affected by the demonic qi and became moody. Originally, I wanted to lead my clan to leave and find another place to live after dealing with the evil relationship between Candle Jade and this demon catcher, but for some reason, I angered the divine beast Jairus who guarded this place, and it set an enchantment and trapped here. Seeing that the demonic qi is getting heavier and heavier, if it is not controlled, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is afraid that it will face the catastrophe of extermination, as the patriarch, how can I sit idly by?"

For some reason, listening to the patriarch's words, my memory fluctuated again. Maybe it's because he also thinks of his people above everything else, and I can't help but think of my mother, and ...... Nalan Mol. But immediately, I laughed at myself again, what is the connection between these?

"It's just that with the current situation of the patriarch, I'm afraid it won't last long, and besides, the barrier set by Jairian can't be broken through so easily. ”

"Hey......"

"Is there no other way?" Maybe it's the unbounded association, I actually feel a little helpless about the situation of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

"In recent years, I have secretly sent people to search for the source of demonic energy in the barrier, but to no avail. ”

"This Lingzhi Forbidden Domain was originally the place where the gods were buried, how could there be demonic energy?

"It's a pity that my clan is trapped here and can't go out, the reason, I'm afraid I can't know, now I can only do my best to protect the clan for a while, but unfortunately, my time is running out...... "The patriarch sighed silently again.

"Grandpa's ......" is also sad.

"In that case, it's better for me to ask the Jairus who guards here, since it was sent by Shennong to guard the tomb of the goddess, and now that the tomb of the goddess has been invaded by demonic energy, it must not sit idly by. ”

Just when the patriarch was silent, I looked at Ruyuan with a lost expression on the side, and for some reason, I suddenly felt that I should do something for her. Even though she and I had only met because of a deal, and the poison I had in my lust was due to her, it seemed that I had slowly begun to change my opinion of her over the years, and even the initial defensive heart had gradually faded. When she stood between me and the soothsayer that I was her friend, I unconsciously felt a strange emotion in my heart.

Coupled with the fact that seeing the situation of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is now down, I unconsciously think of the Lush Forest. That place that was once full of vitality has become depressed and lonely over the years, and the demons in the forest are not waiting for the forest lord to take them out of the haze? and a long time ago, I also thought that I could take on this heavy responsibility, take over my mother's responsibility to protect the lush forest, and complete the mission of the forest master. But later, I really realized that there were too many sacrifices and sacrifices to be a leader who was expected to be a leader. Just like when he was in the Demon Domain, if it wasn't for the creatures in the forest, how could Nalan stab that ruthless sword at me? Even if he really hated me, could he really let go of the emotion he once had?

In an instant, I began to sympathize with this nine-tailed fox patriarch who had gone through vicissitudes. Speaking of which, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's fall to this point is not unrelated to my mother, and my mother's attitude towards the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has always made me feel a little guilty about this declining demon clan, since this is the case, I will help them do something.

Although the purpose of this visit was originally to repair the broken jade Ruyi, the only remaining hope now seems to have come to naught. As for Yu Ruyi's matter, I have to find another way.

"I'm with you too!"

As fate pulled me back from my thoughts, I nodded at her. Eyes met, and I suddenly felt that those far-fetched reasons could not be used, to go is to go, since I want to do this, then do it.

"It's just...... Why are you helping me with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?" the patriarch on the throne still didn't seem to understand my decision.

"Since I was able to let you out of the Lush Forest against my mother's wishes last time, why can't I help you again now?" I smiled slightly, relieved.

"However, I really can't do anything about repairing Jade Ruyi......"

"Don't mind, I'm not trying to get you to fix Jade Ruyi in exchange. ”

"......"

"Grandpa, let's go, Yinluo really wants to help us. ”

"Patriarch, maybe this is a glimmer of hope for my clan now. Zisang looked at Ruyuan and persuaded on the side.

Although the patriarch still had a heavy face, he no longer spoke, which could be regarded as acquiescence.

"Perhaps, we can still persuade Jairus to remove this barrier!"

"Well, you go. But Jairus is a divine beast after all, and its strength is beyond the reach of you and me, so you must be careful not to really anger it. It trapped our clan here but did not kill them all, which is already considered to be extremely merciful, if this incident causes misunderstanding again, I am afraid that if the demonic aura does not disappear, our clan will face the catastrophe of extinction immediately. ”

The patriarch's words are not wrong, Ruyuan and I have learned the power of the domineering dragon son before. But Na Jianwei is not unreasonable, this time, no matter what the result is, at least it is a hope for the nine-tailed fox clan.

In the face of everything now, I can't help but laugh at myself: why do I always have to get caught up in the grievances of right and wrong that don't belong to me? From the beginning, I was not a person in the game at all. For me, I used to only want to avenge my mother, but a vicious "friend" appeared halfway, which almost led me astray, and then caused me to be trapped in the demon realm for forty years. And what can I do in the Demon Domain? In front of the powerful demons I have seen, such as Cangli, Zimei, Qingpai, and even the Demon Emperor, I am just a humble demon, not to mention the slightest connection with them, but I can't help but become a bargaining chip between the demons. Then, when I met someone who was willing to fall in love with him, there was another accident, and I was involved in an abnormal love-hate entanglement in the world...... All of this could have had nothing to do with me, but in the end, this root was connected with Cangli again, as if it had been set from the beginning. Is this the destiny of heaven? What is my fate? What is the truth of my entanglement with all this? At this moment, I even suspect that there must be a main line at the root of everything, and I have always been on this main line, but I can't see the direction clearly, and I can't know where I am.

And now, whether it is because I want to relieve the lust poison on my body, or because of the entrustment of returning to the dust and the hidden wind, I have come to the Lingzhi Forbidden Domain, and I also know some of the reasons for the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. In this case, I simply put aside those scruples and let the situation develop. As for the poison in me, it is determined by free fate. What's more, even if it is solved, I will have more time to find the answers to those questions in my heart, how can I tell if I can find it? The mystery of my mother's life and death that Ruyuan told me, as well as the so-called long-cherished love between the mortal Meng Yunzhong and me, and the demon Cangli who is about to reappear...... Yes, can I really handle these intricate relationships, and how do I deal with them?

It is useless to say more.

It seemed that after a long silence, when I came back to my senses, I only saw Ruyuan looking at me in a daze, and there seemed to be doubt, worry, and anxiety in those clear eyes. When I looked again, I saw that the patriarch had left at some point. Then I found that next to the throne, there was a secret door of pure silver, which had been opened at this moment, and perhaps it was the passage to the back of the main hall. And Ruyuan and Zisang are still standing in the main hall with me. I don't know how long my sudden musings lasted.

"It seems that Miss Yinluo has a lot of worries in her heart, but I don't know what the girl's plans are for the poison she wants?"

Zisang's sudden question, I suddenly felt a chill in my vest. Could it be that his mind-reading skills have reached such an advanced level? Originally, even Ruyuan couldn't easily peek into my heart, but he could!

"Girl, I can't spy on your thoughts, but because this poison was originally developed by me and the patriarch, the peculiar smell can be easily distinguished, so I already knew it from the first time I saw you. It's just that this lust seems to have been forcibly suppressed by some force, and it hasn't happened yet. ”

Zisang's eyes were really sharp, and he saw my concerns at a glance.

"You're right, if it weren't for the Excalibur by my side, I wouldn't have survived today. ”

"Excalibur?" Zisang repeated my words, thoughtfully, but he finally didn't ask, just continued, "Then you came to ask the patriarch to repair Jade Ruyi this time, also for the purpose of detoxification?"

I nodded, a little helpless again.

"Hey...... The development of this poison is extremely special, and if it were not for Yu Ruyi, there would indeed be nothing else to solve. Fortunately, girl, you have a divine sword body, even if you don't understand it for life, it won't have much impact. As long as you don't have any emotional ties, it doesn't matter, otherwise, I'm afraid that you will have to keep the festival for life, and you can't do clouds and rain, otherwise this poison will double every time it is transferred, and in the end, even the divine sword may not be able to suppress it. If so, it is indeed ......."

I smiled bitterly, and made up for Zisang's unfinished words in my heart, but I could still only be helpless.

"Let's go, the detoxification thing is put aside for now. ”

"Yinluo ......" Ruyuan has unconsciously walked to my side and gently snuggled me.

"Don't worry, now that you know that this jade Ruyi was originally a goddess's jade hairpin, it's better to ask for some news from Jairus. Even if it is a fetish, it is not impossible to repair it. Although it was just a self-consoling word, when I actually said it, I felt a little more hopeful.

Ruyuan nodded knowingly.

"Let's go. ”

"Good. ”

"Be careful. ”

Saying goodbye to Zisang, the moment I stepped out of the door of the underground temple, I immediately returned from the bright and wide silver world back to the chaotic stones, and the black mist emitted from those strange plants became even more obvious, at this moment, I have already concluded that it is demonic energy, no doubt.

"Ruyuan, are these plants already there?" I asked, pointing to a black grass squeezed out of another stone next to the grotto in the main hall.

"I already have...... But...... It doesn't seem to be this color......"

"What color was that?"

"It's not the same color as other plants, but it doesn't seem to be so dark. ”

I thought to myself.

"Any questions?"

"In my opinion, the demonic energy in this Lingzhi Forbidden Domain is emanating from this plant, do you know where the roots of this plant are?"

"I really don't know. ”

"Since the patriarch said that the people he sent did not find the source of demonic energy in this enchantment, they must also be outside the enchantment. Let's go to Jairus first. I guess if we can find the root of this black grass, the source of the demonic energy may be found. ”
