Ah Li stood on a hill not far from the fox heart forest, overlooking the fox fairy forest, his eyes were full of reluctance, he had been away for too long, he had gathered too little, and in just seven or eight days, Ah Li had not lived enough in the fox fairy forest.

She can't worry about Grandpa Yu's injury, she can't worry about the children in the orphanage camp, she doesn't know when she will come back next, she really wants to worship the moon with her companions again, and laugh together.

But the mystery of life history has been bothering Ah Li, when Fox Xianlin is no longer facing life and death, the desire for the truth of life and death begins to devour Ah Li's patience from time to time, making her want to find out the truth as soon as possible and restore herself to a peaceful life.

Ah Li looked at it for a long time, and said softly: "Senior brother, let's go, go to Xuanyuan Tomb as soon as possible to find out the mystery of my life experience, I still have to return here." ”

The tanuki Daxian agreed, took out a handful of snow-white dust from the blanket, threw it into the air, turned into a huge dust, pulled Ah Li and jumped on the dust, and broke through the air.

Ah Li felt that this whisk was very familiar, as if he had seen it before when he had taken stock of the secret room of the fox fairy forest with Elder Dani, but why was it in the hands of the tanuki immortal?

Ah Li couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, this whisk looks familiar, where did you get it?"

The tanuki fairy blushed on his face, pretended not to hear Ah Li's question, and pointed forward: "Senior sister, we have a long way to go to Xuanyuan Tomb, you see that it takes a day to fly forward from us to reach Ping'an Fang, which is the last Fang City before entering the Heavenly Demon Forest."

We need to repair there for one night, and the next day we can walk through the Tongtian Rope Bridge on the moat to reach the periphery of the Heavenly Demon Forest, and then fly from the periphery of the Heavenly Demon Forest for a day and a night to reach the Xuanyuan Tomb, which is more than 7,000 miles, and it is difficult for you to reach it by yourself without my escort. ”

Ah Li looked at the tanuki Daxian Gu left and right and immediately knew what was going on: "Oh! I know, you stole this whisk from the fox fairy forest, right?"

The tanuki immortal frowned, and said righteously: "Senior sister, it's not stealing, it's borrowing! My green snake staff has been destroyed in order to save you, I have to have a flying magic weapon to travel, and when I run out, I will definitely return it to the fox fairy forest." ”

Ah Li was furious: "No, you can't tell you to steal, you have to return it!"

The tanuki fairy smiled: "Senior sister, you just pity the poor senior brother, this time the fox fairy forest battle, I also made a great effort, this dust whisk is my honorarium, it's not too much, right?"

Ah Li was also about to force the tanuki Daxian to return the things, Tianhuo said leisurely: "Ah Li, you have already walked so far, isn't it okay to go back?"

Ah Li said angrily: "Tianhuo, do you still have principles and positions? This dust was stolen by the Tanuki Daxian from the Fox Immortal Forest, and he must return it." ”

Tianhuo said leisurely: "What do you say about the thousand-year-old meat zhi?

Ah Li was so choked by Tianhuo's words that he almost couldn't speak, and was furious: "Tianhuo, you and the tanuki Daxian are the same raccoon dogs, I don't want to talk to you!"

Tianhuo continued to say leisurely: "Well, Ah Li, there have been great changes on the stone platform, I suggest you come in and take a look, now you are cultivating here, the magic is endless, you have just been promoted to the Demon Pill stage, and you need to consolidate the realm."

I've been holding back in the fox fairy forest for too long, and I want to go out to breathe, can I officially meet this big brother of the tanuki. ”

Ah Li said hatefully: "Change! What so much nonsense!"

Ah left his body and appeared on the stone platform, and the heavenly fire disappeared from the stone platform at the same time.

The tanuki Daxian looked at Tianhuo with a smile and said: "Terran boy, you came out, what you just said is too reasonable, Ah Li's little sister is really unreasonable! Only the governor is allowed to set fire to the people and not allow the people to light the lamp, you have taught the right lesson, this Daxian is very happy to hear it, not bad, good young man, I am optimistic about you!"

Tianhuo stretched out his little paw and said: "Big brother Tanuki, don't always call me the Terran kid or the Terran kid, I have my own name, my name is Tianhuo, get to know me!"

The tanuki fairy grabbed Tianhuo's little paw and shook it, then raised a thumbs up and said, "Boy, you are very bold and very generous! Aren't you afraid that I will hurt you? After all, you are hiding in Ah Li's sea of knowledge, which is a hidden danger, and it is normal for me to get rid of you." ”

Tianhuo grinned: "Grandpa Yu has acquiesced to my existence, I think you won't have much to do, and if you talk about me, it will only be good for everyone, there is no harm, and you are not willing to start." ”

The tanuki fairy asked in surprise, "What's the benefit, you say come and hear it." ”

Tianhuo said: "I don't have anything special except that I have a smart mind. But my master, his old man, Xuan Jizi, have you ever heard of it? It should not be a big problem to help someone refine a 5,000-year-old green bamboo cane into a quasi-innate spiritual weapon, or to refine a thousand-year-old meat mushroom into a seven-grade elixir!"

The tanuki fairy immediately smiled, put his arms around Tianhuo's shoulders and said, "Oh, good brother, Xuanjizi is really your master! Why didn't you say it earlier? From now on, I have made up my mind about your brother, and your master will be my master in the future!"

Ah Li's voice suddenly came: "Stinky civet cat, dead civet cat, let go of your hand, that's my body!"

The tanuki Daxian immediately let go of his hand, rubbed his hands and smiled: "I'm too excited for a while, junior sister, don't blame." Brother Tianhuo, you go on, is there anything else?"

Tianhuo raised his head and put on an arrogant expression: "Brother Tanuki, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I don't think you can do anything other than a loss-making business, right?"

The tanuki Daxian's face fell, and he grabbed Tianhuo's hand and said: "Brother, your vision is too sharp, big brother, I have suffered a lot in the way of business in my life, no one has ever helped me point it out, you can see it, you must be able to help me, please!"

Tianhuo laughed and said, "Big brother, if I teach you the way of business, make you a successful businessman, and call you big brother, you won't object, right?"

The tanuki Daxian immediately patted his chest and said: "That has to be! Brother, I am too close to you, I don't worship you brother, I feel sorry for myself, I can't wait now, we will immediately burn yellow paper, kowtow, and be brothers when we arrive at Ping'anfang." ”

Tianhuo actually admires the tanuki Daxian very much, because he can see the shadow of Xuanjizi from him, and he is born with a sense of closeness, because he didn't have the opportunity to contact him before, so he didn't have a deep friendship.

As soon as I talked this time, I really had the same temperament, and I said that I would bow down.

When Ah Li heard that swearing was such a fun thing, he immediately asked to join.

Tanuki Daxian was already very fond of Ah Li and Tianhuo, and coupled with the teachers and backgrounds behind them, he was naturally more willing to worship them.

The tanuki Daxian sped up his flight speed, and after flying for most of the day, he came to Ping'an Fang.

Ping'an Fang is a Fang market similar to Qingzhou Fang, but it is far less exquisite and thoughtful than Qingzhou Fang, but because Ping'an Fang is the Fang market closest to the Heavenly Demon Forest, almost all caravans and travelers will stay here and rectify it, so that Ping'an Fang undertakes a lot of reception, distribution, and sorting business, so it is also very prosperous.

As the leader of the inspection camp of Qingzhou Fang, Tanuki Daxian naturally knows many acquaintances in Ping'an Fang.

Soon the tanuki Daxian found a small suite in the already overcrowded Ping'an Inn and settled down, and the tanuki Daxian hurriedly arranged for the men to go out to buy incense burners, yellow paper, sandalwood, tributes, etc., and he couldn't wait to bow to Tianhuo and Ah Li.

Soon the items were all purchased, the incense burner was placed, the tributes were placed, the sandalwood was lit, there was no Jinlan post for sale in the Ping'an Fang, and the tanuki Daxian replaced it with yellow paper, and the three exchanged the eight characters of birth and age.

Tanuki Daxian, nine hundred and forty-three years old;

Ah Li, three hundred and twelve years old;

Tianhuo, fifteen years old.

Naturally, the tanuki Daxian is the eldest brother, Ah Li is the second sister, and Tianhuo is the younger brother.

But Ah Li resolutely refused to let Tianhuo call him his second sister, and Tianhuo was unwilling to call Ah Li his second sister, and finally the two agreed that they would call each other by name.

As for which way to worship the immortal for Jin Lan, the tanuki immortal was a little hesitant, Tianhuo said that he didn't have to worry about him, his teacher didn't specifically believe in which way of the immortal, even if he worshiped the demon clan immortal.

In the end, the three of them agreed to worship the demon ancestor of the demon clan.

With the help of the tanuki immortal, the soul body actually manifested a phantom outside the body, and the three of them knelt down in front of the incense burner and recited the oath together:

"The demon ancestor Nuwa Niangniang is above, and now there are tanuki immortals, Ah Li, and Tianhuo who have become brothers and sisters with different surnames, and since then life and death have been entrusted to each other, good luck and evil have rescued each other, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and they have helped each other in adversity, work together, never give up, stick to it all their lives, and swear not to contradict each other!

The tanuki fairy bit his finger and wrote his name on the yellow paper, Ah Li also bit his little paw to cover a paw print, and Tianhuo actually forced a drop of blood from the soul body to bounce on the yellow paper.

When the tanuki immortal incinerated the yellow paper, a wisp of green smoke floated on the beam, Ah Li's body suddenly burst out of dazzling light, the phantom of the heavenly fire was instantly sucked into the sea of knowledge, the tanuki fairy in the dazzling light, the movement also slowed down, his eyes were dull, and a wisp of soul between his forehead was also sucked into Ah Li's sea of knowledge.

Tianhuo and Ah Li instantly returned to the stone platform, the two stone platforms trembled very violently, the light curtain became bright and dark, and an old, mysterious voice chanted repeatedly in the mysterious space:

"Three talents return to the throne and open the world!

In the position of the missing stone platform, there was a phantom of the third stone platform, which was a blue stone platform, sometimes solid, sometimes illusory, and could not be stabilized.

There are also two illusory figures on the blue stone platform that are constantly switching, one of them is a tanuki immortal, and the other is a white-clothed scribe with a tall posture and fairy wind bones.

The two figures switched dozens of times, but they were not settled after all.

The old, mysterious voice sighed: "The time has not come, the three have not woken up! The time has not come, the three have not woken up!"

The sound gradually narrowed until it disappeared, and the violent shaking of the stone platform finally disappeared, and Tianhuo, Ah Li, and the tanuki Daxian immediately passed out.

Heavenly Realm, Da Luo Tian, Ling Xiao Palace.

The emperor on the throne, who was huge and incomparably large, with the crown of the imperial robe, was turning into thousands of divine thoughts, exploring all parts of the heavenly realm, and the moment the three talents gathered, one of the divine thoughts returned to the law body in time, the emperor opened his eyes, overlooked the nether world for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "The time has not yet come, right?

After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, his mind left his body, and he continued to wander away.

The Realm, the Unknowable, the Temple of the Five Colors.

On the five-colored stone bed, a human snake-tailed empress who had been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years opened her eyes and seemed to be a little puzzled and muttered to herself: "Sancai was born ahead of schedule?

After saying that, she immediately fell into a deep sleep, the immortal power of the earth realm is lacking, and the best way to preserve her strength is to fall asleep.

The underworld, the underworld of the nine shadows, the place of extreme cold.

An old man who was upright and described as withered smiled strangely: "The three have met in advance, haha! The day when the old man will get out of trouble is not far away!Woo woo~~~"

The cry of pain came from the Nine Shadows, making the Ten Halls tremble, until a ray of Buddha light shot from the Ten Halls to the Nine Shadows, and the cry was suppressed.

The tanuki fairy was the first to wake up, he had forgotten what had just happened, looked at the situation in the room blankly, and then remembered that he was bowing, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake Ah Li awake.

Ah Li and Tianhuo didn't remember what happened just now, they only remembered that they passed out after lighting the yellow paper.

The tanuki Daxian became a little suspicious, took out several Buddha statues from the blanket and placed them in different directions in the room, and took out a few portraits of Daojun and Nuwa to hang in the room, and then said to Ah Li and Tianhuo:

"This room is evil, I will go out and pass the news of Tianhuo to his master through the post station, and then invite a few great gods to come back, suppress it tonight, and we will leave early tomorrow morning. ”

There are information transmission services between Dafang City in Dongshengzhou, but according to the different distances, the charges are different, there is a distance of more than 12,000 miles between Xuanjimen and Ping'an Fang, Xuanji Gate can not directly receive Ping'an Fang information, only through the nearest Fang City of Xuanji Gate, and manually send the message to Xuanji Gate, so the charge is more expensive.

This piece of information asked for a hundred medium-grade spirit stones from the Tanuki Daxian, that is, 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.

The tanuki fairy was heartbroken and decided to get the money back from Tianhuo's master in the future.

Fortunately, nothing other strange happened this night, and early in the morning, the tanuki Daxian urged Ah Li to set off, because there was a flight distance of more than an hour between Ping'an Fang and Tianji.

The moat can only be passed on foot, and it can only be passed at three hours a day.

Coming to the vicinity of the Heavenly Demon Forest, the tanuki fairy also put away his usual cynical character, and the whole person became introverted, with a trace of fanaticism and reverence in his eyes, as if there was a pilgrimage mood.

Close to the Heavenly Demon Forest, the aura is obviously much richer than the Heavenly Demon Forest, and the closer to the Heavenly Demon Forest, the higher the concentration of the aura.

When Tianhuo and Ah Li saw Tianyan for the first time, they were completely shocked by the miracle in front of them.

The moat is the largest rift valley in Dongshengzhou, which is tens of thousands of miles long, and almost divides the entire Dongshengzhou into two parts.

The cliffs on both sides are as if they have been split by sharp swords, and the middle is as wide as 10,000 zhang, and there are eighteen pillars that protrude from the bottom of the valley under the moat.

No one knew how deep the rift was, and none of the monks who went down to explore survived, and everyone could only see the upper part of the stone pillar, and the rest was surrounded by white clouds.

The pillars of Babel are separated by one every five hundred zhang, and each pillar is connected by an iron chain suspension bridge, and the iron chain of six thigh-thick rings is pulled horizontally between the two pillars of Babel, and four are below, and the steel plate is paved on top, which is four zhang wide, and two iron chains act as handrails on both sides.

The bridge is very stable, although it sways in the wind, but it does not affect the passage as a whole, and it is no problem for mortals with little training to walk on it, just don't get close to the position of the handrails on both sides.

The rope bridge can only pass through the three hours of the day and the end of the day, and the rest of the time there will be a strong wind blowing under the moat, and strange things will appear, and no one dares to pass at other times.

Legend has it that the moat was the demon ancestor who shot at the time, and a sword split Dongshengzhou, and the entire moat was absolutely forbidden to the sky, no matter how high the cultivation was, it could not be crossed, and the moat would also suppress the realm, and anyone who arrived on the bridge would be forced to fall into a major realm.

At the most critical moment, the Demon Ancestor relied on the moat to block the attack of the Terrans, and the passage time of only six hours a day allowed the Demon Clan to protect the race.

The top of each pillar has a diameter of ten zhang, which can be used for people to stay and rest, and the Heavenly Demon Forest has a sentry post built on the eighteenth Babel Pillar of the Heavenly Moat, which is open for passage for three hours a day, and the guard of the sentry post will also withdraw to the Heavenly Demon Forest at other times, and will be re-stationed when it returns to normal the next day.

Anyone who passes the checkpoint must pass the inspection before they can pass, whether they enter or leave the Heavenly Demon Forest.

The tanuki fairy bowed three times in front of a small shrine in front of the moat, and prayed to the demon clan Niangniang before leading Ah Li to the front of the Tongtian Rope Bridge.

Tianhuo had some stage fright, allowing Ah Li to regain control of his body.

Ah Li returned to her body, feeling that there was a force in front of her that summoned her, very strong, could it be that there was something in the Heavenly Demon Forest that resonated with her? Ah Li couldn't wait to find the answer.

Tongtian Suo stepped on it very steadily, without the imaginary shaking, Ah Li followed behind the tanuki Daxian, a little nervous and a little excited, and began to quickly cross Tongtiansuo.

When I walked halfway, I couldn't see the iron rope that came from it, and as far as my eye could see, there were only three or four pillars in front and back.

Ah Li confirmed at this time that more than one force was summoning himself, and there was a force in the Heavenly Demon Forest that was summoning him, but he felt that he was still far away.

At the same time, an even more powerful force came from beneath the Rope of Babel, like a mother summoning a child, making Ah Li feel like he would miss something without looking at it.

Ah Li walked to the side of the Babel Rope Bridge, and couldn't help but look under the Babel Rope Bridge.

Suddenly calm in the moat, there was a sudden gust of wind, the white clouds around Ah Li were churning like boiling water, and a strong wind that blew from unknown places suddenly swept over the bridge, Ah Li only felt that his body was suddenly blown up and fell under the Tongtian rope bridge.

Ah Li couldn't help but exclaim, I don't know how deep this moat is, there are white clouds below, and I don't know how deep it is under the white clouds, if it falls, it will definitely be shattered.

Just when Ah Li was about to despair, he suddenly felt a tightness in his neck, and was grabbed by the neck, and he forcibly brought back Tongtiansuo, and looked at it, it was the tanuki Daxian.

The tanuki Daxian also had a miserable face, and the forbidden space here was coupled with the suppression realm, and he almost hung on the iron rope before he caught Ah Li, and almost fell down together.

The tanuki fairy angrily lectured Ah Li: "Ah Li, why are you so disobedient, do you want to bury everyone's lives here? ”

Ah Li knew that he was wrong, so he had to review and say: "Senior brother, don't be angry, I know it's wrong, and I will definitely not dare next time." ”

The tanuki fairy was also very helpless, so he had to carry Ah Li through the Tongtian rope bridge all the way, and finally there was nothing wrong with it.

Soon, the tanuki fairy took Ah Li to the front of the moat outpost.

The Heavenly Demon Forest has specially built a house that spans the entire Heavenly Pillar on the eighteenth pillar of the Heavenly Demon Forest, occupying one-half of the area of the entire pillar top, and all business travelers and pedestrians who go to or leave the Heavenly Demon Forest need to make a detailed registration here.

The entry and exit of the checkpoint are passages on both sides, both right in and left out, and the flow of people and vehicles on both sides is endless.

Ah Li followed the tanuki Daxian into the entrance on the right, and after entering, the messengers of the Heavenly Demon Forest would guide the diversion of crowds and traffic for sorting, and people passed through the narrower passage on one side, and the carriage and camel beasts passed through the wider passage on the other side.

On one side of the passage, no more than eight feet wide, one side is a wall of unknown metal, and on the other side is a white jade wall that is one foot two feet high and two feet four feet long.

All the personnel who needed to be inspected walked alone through the white jade wall one by one under the command of the officer, and each time they passed through one person, the stone wall would glow.

If the light is a soft yellow, the inspected person can pass through safely;

If the light is a calm blue light, a manual recheck is required;

If the light is a blinding red light, the officer will immediately step forward and take down the person, and if he resists, kill him on the spot.

On the other side, the carriage camel beast passage is almost the same setting, but the passage is relatively wide, one zhang eight feet wide, because this setting also limits the size of the camel beast and the carriage, so there are only three or five kinds of general camel beasts in the entire Dongshengzhou, and the size of the largest freight carriage will be slightly smaller than the passage, otherwise it will not be able to pass the inspection of the moat sentry card at all.

Tanuki Daisen and Ah Li successfully passed the stone wall inspection and entered the next room, where there were registration personnel.

The tanuki fairy is a demon cultivator born in the heavenly demon forest, took out a green identity jade plate and handed it to a small official, the little official put the jade card on a piece of jade next to him, and immediately revealed the appearance of the tanuki fairy on the jade bi, and after the small official confirmed that it was correct, he returned the jade card to the tanuki immortal.

When she changed to Ah Li, she handed the red jade that had been combined into one to the little official according to the previous instructions of the tanuki Daxian and said, "Hello, my lord, I came to Xuanyuan Tomb to find relatives, please verify." ”

The little official put the jade jue on the jade bi, and after confirming that it was a token of Xuanyuan Tomb, he picked up a red jade plate and threw it to Ah Li, and said coldly:

"The first time you come to the Heavenly Demon Forest, with a visitation token, what is issued to you is a ninety days temporary status jade card, and you can enjoy the corresponding treatment of the jade card within ninety days, if you can't complete the relevant matters within ninety days, go to the local government office to go through the renewal procedures, each time for ninety days, at most three times, if you don't handle it in time, you will be regarded as ineligible to live in the Heavenly Demon Forest, and you will be expelled, do you understand?"

Ah Li hurriedly said, "I understand." ”

The little official didn't pay any more attention to Ah Li, and shouted behind him: "Next! Hurry up, what are you grinding for? Don't waste time!"

Ah Li and the tanuki Daxian got out of the moat checkpoint, stuck out their tongues and said, "It's such a strict inspection, it scared me to death." ”

The tanuki immortal said: "No way, the Heavenly Demon Forest is the last pure land of the demon clan in Dongshengzhou, in order to prevent the penetration of the human race, it has to be stricter, just get used to it." ”

Ah Li looked at the red jade plate in his hand and asked, "Senior brother, what's the use of this jade card?"

The tanuki Daxian took out his jade plaque and said, "Do you see the color of the jade plaque? This is a kind of jade plate formed according to the strength of your race, the strength of your own strength, the time you have lived in the Heavenly Demon Forest, and the degree of contribution to the Heavenly Demon Forest.

Demon cultivators born in the Heavenly Demon Forest will be issued an orange jade plaque at the beginning, which will be used as an identification tool, and will automatically convert to other colors according to the changes in their own data.

When it is red, the temporary jade card is used by demon cultivators who are not born in the Heavenly Demon Forest, and it cannot be upgraded to change color, and there is a limit on the length of stay.

Senior brother, because I have lived in the Heavenly Demon Forest for less time and have contributed less, I am only a green jade medal. ”

Ah Li asked curiously: "Then senior brother, if you are not a demon cultivator born in the Heavenly Demon Forest, what if you want to stay in the Heavenly Demon Forest?"

The tanuki immortal looked at Ah Li with some curiosity and said: "There are two methods, the first is to reach the golden pill stage, live in the Heavenly Demon Forest for more than three hundred and sixty consecutive days, without any illegal acts, and pay a one-time payment of 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to 6,500 Peiyuan Dan, you can exchange the red jade plate for the orange jade plate."

The other is that the top five hundred big families of the Heavenly Demon Forest come forward as a guarantee, and pay 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones at one time, and you can also exchange the red jade plate for the orange jade plate. ”

Ah Li asked again: "How many people can the Xuanyuan Tomb Fox Clan rank in?"

The tanuki immortal touched his chin and said, "If it is the entire Xuanyuan Tomb, it can be ranked within fifty, if it is only the Xuanyuan Tomb Fox Clan, it is estimated that it must be between seventy and ninety." ”

Ah Li asked in surprise: "Isn't the Xuanyuan Tomb from the Fox Family?"

Tanuki Daxian nodded: "Xuanyuan Tomb is not a branch of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, there are also a nine-headed pheasant clan and a jade clan in it, but the fox clan is more famous, and its strength is slightly stronger than the other two clans, as for what it looks like, outsiders are not very clear, and when you enter the Xuanyuan Tomb, at least you are also an inner disciple or a personal disciple, and you will naturally know it then." ”

Soon the tanuki Daxian and Ah Li passed the last section of the Tongtian rope, the forbidden air was lifted, and the tanuki Daxian took out the whisk and carried Ah Li away quickly.
