Chapter 64: Gaining Trust
The night will pass.
The east side is white.
The sleeping Bloody City is gradually awakening.
In the faint morning light, a purple figure fell from the sky and landed on the tall tower in the distance.
It's Ah Wen.
Ah Wen's face is constantly changing, her facial features are distorted, and even her hair can be long or short, full of patterns, which is very wonderful.
It was Ah Wen's face just now, and suddenly turned into a bewitching woman, and then continued to distort, ever-changing, sometimes gentle, sometimes cold, sometimes delicate, and after a while, more than a dozen faces appeared.
If Shi Bufan was here, he would be surprised to recognize that one of the faces was the incense heart he was looking for.
She walked slowly, parting the flowers and brushing the willows.
When the wind blows, the clothes fly.
There was also a strange man standing in front of her.
This person is full of white hair, dressed in a green robe, and has a short and fat body, like a stone pier standing on the top of the tower.
Judging from the body size, it should be a member of the Tu family.
The man turned.
He wore a black mask on his face, which completely concealed his countenance, revealing only a pair of majestic eyes.
"Mission accomplished?" he asked, in a sneering voice.
The woman in purple nodded, and her facial features stopped on a beautiful face, "What, you can't trust me?"
The masked man smiled, "You can even steal the fairy grass of Kunlun Mountain, and it is easy to kill a dog's leg, why don't I believe it!"
He originally wanted to win over Huang Gou for his own use, but Huang Gou should rise up as a dog and refused to betray the Bloody Family.
So there is only one word for the end: death!
Because of the masked man's words, the woman in purple remembered her experience in Kunlun Mountain, and couldn't help frowning, "You asked me to pretend to be someone from Shenmu City to steal the fairy grass, saying that you want to lead the disaster water to Shenmu City, why hasn't there been any movement recently, will Kunlun Mountain swallow his anger and not be held accountable?"
The masked man was silent for a moment and said, "Those self-righteous immortals are all stupid, and sooner or later they will take the bait, so there is no need to be impatient. ”
"Oh," the woman in purple didn't bother to bother with this matter anymore, anyway, she did what she had to do, and Ning Se said, "I've done two things for you, can I meet my father?"
The masked man shook his head and stretched out three fingers, "Thousand-faced fox, we have a word first, do three things and let the old fox go, and now there is still the last one left, do you want to fall short?"
It turned out that this woman in purple was called "Thousand-Faced Fox".
People are as their name suggests, no wonder there are so many faces, even the gods can deceive.
Because her "Thousand Faces" is not a spell, but a talent, and every face is her real body, which cannot be distinguished.
"...... you" The Thousand-Faced Fox gritted his teeth, angry and helpless, and finally compromised, "Can't you let me see each other?"
"No!" the masked man replied nonchalantly.
"Are you lying to me?" the thousand-faced fox raised his eyebrows, his face full of anger, "That guy in prison is not my father at all!
She had always had doubts, but she was not sure.
I also tried my best to investigate, but the masked man was more cunning than a fox and didn't give her any chance.
The masked man stood with his hands in his hands, unhurried, "If you don't believe me, you can leave Bloody City immediately, and you don't have to listen to my orders anymore, of course I will kill your relatives mercilessly, dare you bet?"
Can't!
She can gamble everything, but she doesn't dare to risk the life of her only relative.
The Thousand-Faced Fox's fists squeezed tighter and tighter, and then released suddenly, "Count you ruthless! What is the third task, say!"
The masked man waved his hand, "Now is not the time, when the time comes, I will come to you." ”
"Remember, don't reveal your identity, no one in the entire Bloodcoat City knows that you are doing things for me, if it is exposed, your father will die an ugly death!"
With that, the masked man leaps off the tower and disappears.
"Old bastard!"
The Thousand-Faced Fox smashed his fist on the stone wall next to him, leaving a stain of bright red blood, and then restrained the anger and hatred on his face and walked away.
......
Noon.
The sun rises.
The long night was finally over.
Shi Bufan and the captive girl came to the deserted courtyard behind the Land Temple.
The two of them fought, their physical strength and mana were consumed, and they were so embarrassed that they didn't say a word and began to breathe and recover.
Until dusk.
Shi Bufan got up and went to the Land Temple to get some fresh offerings to fill his stomach.
He tore off a piece of warm roast meat and handed it to the girl.
The girl hesitated, but she still took it, chewed and ate slowly, while looking at Shi Bufan carefully, thinking about the purpose and origin of this person.
Shi Bufan was also scanning the girl, thinking that the people in Shenmu City were really fair-skinned, with ice muscles and jade bones, and they could smell a faint aroma when they got closer, like some kind of fragrant wood.
"Why did you save me?" the girl finally asked.
Shi Bufan didn't answer directly, he felt that he had to gain the girl's trust first, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not from Bloody Clothes City, I have nothing to do with any tribe, I'm from Kunlun Mountain." ”
The girl's face changed, "Kunlun Mountain, are you an immortal?"
"No," Shi Bufan couldn't cry or laugh, "I worship the mountain god as a teacher and practice spells, you can call me 'Shi Bufan'." ”
His attitude is frank to the extreme, and there is nothing false about it.
As the old fool taught him, if you want to gain the trust of others, the most important word is: true.
The girl's suspicions really disappeared a little, and when she heard Shi Bufan's name, she secretly muttered again, raised her head and said, "Dao Feng Xue!"
Dao Feng Xue is her name.
It sounds domineering and awe-inspiring, which doesn't match her delicate appearance at all.
Except for the name, Dao Fengxue didn't say anything, and there was nothing to say.
"Now, let's talk about you," Dao Fengxue subconsciously stroked her messy hair, "You must have a purpose in saving me." ”
said that when the road was uneven, he drew a knife to help, and the fool believed it.
Shi Bufan smiled slightly, but still didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "Snow Maiden, are there any other tribes in Shenmu City besides your Shenmu Clan?"
The reason why he asked this question was to investigate clearly.
Because it was Xiangxin who stole the thousand-year-old immortal grass, and Xiangxin was the Shadow Fox Clan, and it had nothing to do with the Shenmu Clan.
Dao Fengxue nodded, because it was not a secret, she said calmly: "A hundred years ago, the blood-clothed tribe fought in all directions and destroyed many large and small tribes, only Shenmu City fought against them, so some tribes who were unwilling to give in went to Shenmu City to seek refuge. ”
"Now, Shenmu City is naturally dominated by the Shenmu Clan, and there are still twenty or thirty foreign clans. ”
"Are there any fox clans?" Shi Bufan asked.
Dao Fengxue thought about it carefully, "Yes." ”
Shi Bufan jumped up excitedly, almost losing his temper, "Is there a girl named 'Xiangxin', she is from the Shadow Fox clan." ”
Dao Fengxue was surprised, "There are thousands of these foreign races combined, how can I know them all, as for the 'shadow fox' you said, I don't know even more." ”
Shi Bufan smiled awkwardly, calmed down his excitement, and sat down slowly.
It seems that you still have to go to Shenmu City to find out the truth.
