Chapter 6 The Blue-Eyed Spirit Fox
The fox-faced young man who was transformed into a blue-eyed fox had a good calculation in his heart, but it was a pity that the left-handed man who was regarded as his prey, and his cautious and cautious nature was not much better than it, so that he never found a chance to start, and watched this person leave the mountains and forests and walk to the dilapidated post road that had fallen into disrepair.
"I really miscalculated! I didn't expect the cooked duck to fly away when it came to his mouth. It's just that I don't know if this left-minded person has already discovered it and deliberately entertained me, or if it is due to the Taoist nature of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. ”
In the sparse area at the edge of the mountain forest, the fox-faced young man stood still, stretched out his hand and pressed on a metasequoia tree with flourishing leaves, his expression was a little resentful, half of his body hid in the shade of the tree, and watched Ye Zhiqiu enter a village and town.
After following for an afternoon, nearly three hours, he didn't find a chance to start, and the disappointment in the fox-faced young man's heart was naturally indispensable. If it weren't for the fact that it had not yet cultivated its transfiguration technique to its fullest level, it would have been able to hide all traces of beasts, including the most conspicuous fox tail, it would have continued to follow until its prey revealed its flaws.
"It's a pity!"
The fox-faced young man sighed softly, and his right hand stroking the metasequoia tree couldn't help but grab it hard, and the fox fire erupted out of control, and when a large piece of bark was about to be burned into charcoal, countless sawdust-like black powder puffs fell.
Since ancient times, the fox is a symbol of auspicious spirit animals, born with strong spiritual power, can make the soil fertile, crop harvest, by the ancestors of the human tribe as a totem worship.
In the ancient mountains and seas period, the fox clan established a huge Qingqiu country, and the nine-tailed fox Tushan clan even married the king of the human race at that time, Dayu, and gave birth to the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty.
When the human race became stronger and stronger, conquering the Quartet to expand its territory, it was inevitable to destroy the city and destroy the country, and the Qingqiu country was no exception, and the declining fox clan wandered in the wilderness from then on.
The human race dominated the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, established a unified dynasty, abolished all kinds of private sacrifices, clarified the genealogy of the gods of Sichuan and Lin, and completely abandoned the totem belief of the ancient wilderness.
Fortunately, the fox clan's innate spiritual power is stronger than that of ordinary beasts, not only through human nature, but also able to speak human language, if you comprehend the key to cultivation in the underworld, know how to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, you can give birth to all kinds of supernatural powers, such as the art of transforming the human body, detaining lonely souls and wild ghosts, among which the best can even rub the fox's tail to ignite the fox fire.
This kind of flame is not ordinary fire, but a kind of spiritual flame, similar to air fire, relying on the spiritual power of the fox, it does the most damage to the ghosts and ghosts, and can burn out the spiritual essence in it. Fox fire does not do much harm to mortals, ordinary people have mortal bodies, and there is a lot of protection to guard the soul.
On the contrary, it is a monk who has opened the spiritual aperture, can draw the free spiritual energy from the outside world into the body, and refine the source of mana, but the fox fire has a miraculous effect on them. Because the monks have opened up their own channels, the fox fire can take advantage of the weakness and hurt the souls of others, at least the spirit is sluggish, and the worst is the loss of souls, and the path plummets, hurting the monk's foundation.
The blue-eyed fox was originally a little bit of fire, but not long ago, he got the unformed inner pill of the ghoul wolf, and it was actually broken by it, and he was able to give birth to fox fire with the help of rubbing spirit bones, so that he dared to peep at the human beings, and vowed to devour it and turn it into food on the road of cultivation.
It's a pity that the blue-eyed fox cultivated the fox fire to fight with the monks, but unexpectedly, he left the wilderness and mountains and forests and entered the human town.
Not to mention the land near the left, it is not easy for the stove monarchs and peach charms of each household to avoid their field of vision, if the tracks are exposed, so that the prey can detect and take precautions in advance, this hunt will end here.
"You wait for me!"
The blue-eyed fox did not dare to leave the mountains and forests, it remembered the teachings of the elders of the clan, did not want to put itself in danger, seeing that the sun was dusk, and knew that the prey could not go away, it immediately turned its head back to the old forest, searched for a gloomy place, prepared to worship the Big Dipper, and performed the art of humanization.
"Hug Puzi" has clouds: the fox has a 300-year-old life, can become a demon fox, is good at divination, knows yin and yang, and can change into an adult.
The blue-eyed fox scoffed at this: "That is, a wild fox without roots and feet, it will take three hundred years of torment to transform into a demon fox and realize the art of change." I am a remnant of Qingqiu, a descendant of the Tu Shan clan, as long as I worship Xingdou, I can perform the art of humanization with the help of external forces, and collect all traces. ”
Thinking of the proud place, the fox-faced young man couldn't help laughing, chose a suitable place to make an altar, and then turned to the corpse-heavy realm, found a suitable skull, put it in his hand and paced back.
When the moon rose in the middle of the sky, the fox-faced youth opened his eyes, placed the skull on top of his head, and dispersed the illusion technique.
The handsome and extraordinary human body gradually faded, revealing the original body of the blue-eyed fox, and in the misty night, its ghostly green eyes were particularly strange.
I saw it squatting on the ground, its two forelimbs folded in front of its chest, silently praying to the silver moon in the night sky. After a while, the blue-eyed fox's gaze searched the night sky star map, and then found the secret star dou of the clan, the Big Dipper.
In front of the fox, there is an altar made by its own hands, with three layers up and down, surrounded by hidden and mysterious lines, and endless starlight is attracted to light up the altar layer by layer.
The blue-eyed fox's forelimbs, which were originally closed, slowly separated, the left limb pressed the skeleton above the head, and the right limb volleyed in the air, and the spiritual power caused the fox fire, outlining a pentagram. If there is a monk who is proficient in the Yin and Yang Dao, he will definitely be able to see the path of this spirit fox.
It is actually using the Yin Technique of the Five Elements of Yin and Yang to construct a magic circle with the Five Elements Shengke, so as to contain the star power of the Big Dipper and guide it into the body in order to perform the art of humanization.
The dim starlight instantly soaked the body of the blue-eyed fox, and the white bone skeleton seemed to be trapped in quicksand, dragged down by its own weight, and slowly sank as if it were nothing.
When the human skull was combined with the skull of the blue-eyed fox, its face suddenly changed, and the slightly grayish white fox fur faded away, revealing its fair and tender skin. Then the two erected ears pressed against the forehead, which was then hidden by the rapidly growing black hair of the human.
The humanization technique completely concealed the fox's features, and even the fox's tail, which was the most difficult to hide, was attached to the body and turned into a leather armor-like thing.
Bathed in the bright moonlight, the blue-eyed fox who completed the art of humanization has become a human youth in his early twenties, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and a bit of a noble birth.
Most of the people from such a background are princes and nobles, if they were in the previous peaceful period, they must have been the sons of brocade clothes and jade food, but unfortunately in the war caused by the Yellow Turban Army, such young people are no different from other ordinary people, and they still died in the years of war and chaos.
"I succeeded. The first time I tried the art of humanization, I succeeded in one fell swoop, what the elder said was not bad, my little man from the Tushan clan returned to Mu and was really lucky. ”
Thinking of this, the young man finally couldn't help laughing, although the fox was cunning and suspicious, he was still a little younger, and his temperament was very childish.
"Since you are an adult, you have to give yourself a name. The surname Tu Shan naturally can't be used, it's too conspicuous. Even Tu is a small surname, not as good as the pseudonym surname Yu Mingmu, which means that the eyes of the fish are confused, and it teaches people to distinguish the truth. ”
After the completion of the work, the spirit fox, who had successfully performed the art of humanization, reached out and bulldozed the altar to avoid leaking the secrets of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. After a while, he sensed that his body could not withstand the cold night wind, so he used his spiritual power to turn the fox fur that had just faded into a fur, and carefully tied it up after putting it on.
After a while, his body gradually regained its warmth, and Yu Mu walked out of the mountains and forests and walked towards the human villages and towns not far away.
Perhaps because of the success of his humanization technique, he managed to sneak into the village without danger, and except for a few blind watchdogs, who habitually grinned at strangers, no other obstacles appeared.
The fox's ability to track and find traces was still there, and it didn't take long to find the shelter of the "Left Path", which turned out to be a wine house, but it was empty, and even the clay pot containing the wine trickled down, and it was obvious that the stock had long been drunk.
Ye Zhiqiu had already spent the night in the wine house, and with the bearing of a scholar and the majesty of a scholar with a sword, he naturally got a fairly spacious room, but he couldn't sleep as if he had something on his mind, so he meditated in the room to refine his qi.
Ever since he killed the backbone elite of Black Wind Village with the technique of the left path, and killed the half-demon ghoul wolf in the mountains and forests in the wilderness, he finally broke through the pass and reached the realm of attracting qi into the body.
Even if he doesn't pay attention to it, his body will still slowly absorb the free aura around him, carry it from the meridians to the dantian, and refine the source of mana, but at this time, he meditates according to his nature, restricts his chaotic thoughts, and concentrates on doing this thing, the efficiency is naturally very high, at least the evaluation of twice the result with half the effort is inevitable.
The blue-eyed spirit fox, who had incarnated as an adult, looked at the "Left-Path Scholar" refining qi, and laughed secretly in his heart: "It turns out that he is just a recent monk whose qi has sprouted, and he doesn't know where to learn the magic of benefit, so he easily killed the ghoul wolf of the wild forest, and didn't give him a retribution, how can I see my means." ”
The Qingqiu fox clan does not have the harmful means of three corpses and six insects, such as the ghost snake, one of the six insects, also called the fox snake, the short fox, and the water crossbow, which is shaped like a turtle and has three legs. It can shoot the shadow of a person in the water, make people seriously ill, and the weaker even die because of it.
This blue-eyed spirit fox had a chance when he was young, and happened to learn a few of his subordinates to taste insects, only to see him pull out a hairy hair from the tail that was transformed into a fur, silently recite a secret spell, and spew out a breath of spiritual energy towards it, and then picked up his mouth and blew gently.
The subtle and inconspicuous hairs were blown into the room by this breath, fluttering to Ye Zhiqiu's head, and then slowly falling on his forehead, suddenly turning into a sleepy insect with an inch long and the thickness of a bamboo stick, crawling into his nose with great spirituality.
Ye Zhiqiu, who was originally meditating and refining qi, unexpectedly suffered an unwarranted disaster, and was sent into a sweet sleep by the sleepy insect of this blue-eyed spirit fox.
The blue-eyed spirit fox, who had turned into an adult, reached out and pressed on the door, and the latch untied itself, falling to the ground without making a sound, and then he gently pushed open the door and flashed into the room.
Looking at the "left-handed man" who was meditating cross-legged, the blue-eyed spirit fox couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "No matter how alert you are, you won't be on my way in the future!"
The bright moonlight spilled into the room through the window, and I saw the young man in fur fur incarnated by the blue-eyed spirit fox, slowly stretching out his right hand, popping out five extremely sharp finger knives, and slowly poking towards Ye Zhiqiu's head.
