Chapter 9: The Past Flashes

At the top of the mountain is an ancient altar. The altar is surrounded by three-legged beasts, painted with fang-faced ears and flames.

The path leading to the altar is made of strange stones, and it is shining with golden streamers. Beating like a heart, full of vitality, and like a candle flame left in the wind, fragile to be extinguished at any moment. The original bleak ancient totem is now resurrected, floating and swimming, and the surrounding forest is more and more colorful. Through the Sanskrit totem, the altar exudes a purple-black netherworld aura. The further you go to the center of the altar, the more luminous the veins and totems carved in the stone become.

From a distance, there was an ancient formation on the altar platform, and the center of the formation was a bottomless abyss. From the depths of the abyss, a curling aura rises, like a gateway to the underworld, full of strange powers of the Nine Shadows.

The figures of the fox woman and Bai Qinsang quickly escaped into the abyss in the center of the altar, seeing that the end of the abyss was purple-black dark pulp, churning with raging dark fire, and the sound of ghosts crying and wailing was endless, very sad!

There is a protruding platform on the abyssal cliff that crosses the abyss. Looking along this platform, it is an iron prison. The fox woman gently placed Bai Qinsang on the platform, and the surrounding formations suddenly lit up, and the dark pulp and dark qi rushed to the sky, and was cut into two sections by the horizontal platform, and the side wall of the platform was continued to be washed by the dark pulp, and the Sanskrit totem was slowly lit up.

Standing on the platform, within a stone's throw of the fire, the fire rolled.

Xiao Ran was escorted into the depths of the platform, which was the altar prison. Here, it is difficult for any cultivator to resist the coercion of the underworld, and he cannot exert any martial cultivation. Those shiny totems and Sanskrit words are like invisible chains that bind everything around them, except for the people in the spirit fox, they will be suppressed by the formation and cannot break free.

This altar prison was originally used to imprison foxes who violated the clan rules, and Xiao Ran was temporarily locked in. And Bai Qinsang and the fox woman were not far from him. Bai Qinsang lay quietly in the center of the formation, weak and pale, her face was quiet and moving, her long hair was sprinkled all over the ground, like a sleeping fairy.

The fox woman used a spell to channel her own power into Bai Qinsang's body to repair her damaged natal golden pill. The golden light flowed on him, and she vaguely frowned, shed two tears, and muttered to the fox woman not to kill Xiao Ran.

The fox woman grabbed her hand tightly, shook her head and sighed, "You have true feelings for him!"

Xiao Ran saw Bai Qinsang's appearance, anxious and distressed, but there was nothing he could do, and he eagerly asked the fox woman: "Will she be okay?"

The fox woman suddenly stood up, her eyes widened angrily, she walked towards Xiao Ran, and reprimanded: "Will there be anything? In order to suppress the poison on your body, she has consumed almost half of the natal golden pill, and it is easy to lose her cultivation and scatter her soul! She blocked the fire for you, and she almost almost did it."

Xiao Ran just looked at Bai Qinsang's side face, couldn't say a word, choked up, and felt guilty in his heart, little fox, you are really too stupid! You came to save me three times and twice regardless of life and death! I only blame me for not cultivating and having no ability. Otherwise, Yun Yao and Ziqin would not have died! You would not have become like this! I have this intention in my heart, if I can, I am willing to exchange my life for your life! I don't dare to ask for anything, I just hope that you can live, even if you really use my life, you are willing!

The fox woman's palms condensed and shouted, "I'll kill you!"

Xiao Ran closed his eyes, without any intention of resisting, and said coldly: "If it weren't for me, it wouldn't be like this, if one of my lives can be made up, then take it!"

"No, fox woman don't!" Bai Qinsang propped up his weak body.

"Your mother Bai Yan is like this, and so are you!" the fox woman's eyes moistened.

The fox woman stood up and laughed miserably, as if she was laughing at herself, with a lot of unwillingness, disappointment, and helplessness mixed in.

"Bai Yan, Bai Yan! For that negative person, you were pierced with ninety-nine eighty-one soul nails, and you were beaten into the original form by the Dharma rod, and you suffered from the cold and fire day and night in the Nine Brakes Futu Tower! Have you ever thought about the fox woman? Have you ever thought about the size of the Spirit Fox clan?"

The fox woman looked up to the sky and wailed, venting her emotions that were difficult to calm down. Bai Qinsang is very much like her mother Bai Yan, the fox woman slowly talked about Bai Yan, and told Bai Qinsang about this old past, I only hope that Bai Qinsang can understand the fox woman's good intentions.

It was a night, and they stood on a high hill, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

Bai Yan wore a long dress, like Bai Qinsang's appearance, she read leisurely: "I moved my true feelings!"

Everything is like a light cloud.

The fox woman sighed: "I know, no one can stop you!"

Bai Yan looked at the fox woman in surprise and asked, "You won't stop me?"

The fox woman was silent.

Bai Yan took a deep breath and said: "It's been fifteen years! It's been fifteen years! Fifteen years ago, our Linghu clan led the beast clan to snatch the Buddha bone relics of Linghong Temple, and the Miao clan took the opportunity to attack the hinterland of Xiuzhen, but I didn't expect the Feixian Gate to kill it! I saw with my own eyes that Dao Tianshu made a move of the Rainbow Sword Song with all his might, and that sword absorbed the power of the stars and killed sixty percent of the Miao clan's forces! In the end, he was afraid of the power of the divine sword and the sword technique, so he hid in the rivers and lakes with this Rainbow Sword and the Rainbow Sword Song! The past is vivid! In that battle, our Spirit Fox clan was still too light on the enemy! Master Praruo ordered the four holy monks to transform me, and I was accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the burning lamp, and I had a long-term affection for him, but he still let me go!"

Bai Yan continued: "Fox woman, I think he has feelings for me!"

The fox woman looked a little haggard, bowed her head and said: "Bai Yan! The fox woman is the oldest in the Linghu clan, I watched you grow up, and you are all like my daughters." Have you thought about Qin Sang? What should you do with Qin Sang? Do you want to leave her alone? She has inherited your essence and divine sense, and her qualifications even surpass you. But now she is too young to inherit your position! She can't bear the faith of the Spirit Fox at all!

Bai Yan was silent. The Buddhism and Taoism of this Linghong Temple are unfathomable, and I am afraid that there will be no return! But this is her own wish, and she will not be willing to get a result or a statement.

The fox woman grabbed Bai Yan and said, "What if I force me to die? Can you watch the fox woman die in front of you for him?"

Bai Yantong knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said, "What the fox woman taught me, I will never forget!

The fox woman gritted her teeth, turned away, and sobbed. She didn't want to see Bai Yan suffering from longing day and night, she didn't want to think about tea and food, she was getting thinner and thinner, and every time she looked at Bai Yan, her heart was like a knife. The fox woman would rather be uncomfortable than suffer a lot for Bai Yan, and sighed: "Let the fox woman bear all this!"

The fox woman turned her back to her, she was still a little reluctant, and finally wiped her tears and flew away as a fine light.

And now, the fox woman looked at Bai Qinsang and moved her true feelings, touching the past that she didn't want to mention again. She blamed herself deeply, blaming herself for not taking good care of Bai Qinsang, and was full of guilt for Bai Yan. The fox woman didn't want Bai Qinsang to suffer the suffering, and every time she watched Bai Qinsang suffer more, the fox woman's heart became more haggard.

Xiao Ran listened to the fox woman talk about Bai Qinsang's mother, and her protection and guilt for Bai Qinsang became a little deeper. He thought to himself: If one day, he can learn supreme cultivation, he must protect Bai Qinsang, and he doesn't want her to be hurt a little and shed a tear.

Xiao Ran said: "I don't have any malicious intent! I met Qin Sang in Pingshui, and we came together later. I'm just an ordinary man in the countryside! The people in the village were seduced away by the demons, and the immortal grandfather called Dao Tianshu temporarily retained the souls of the people in the village, and he gave me a treasure gourd and asked me to go to Yaowang Mountain to get the soul incense!"

The fox woman could see that Xiao Ran didn't have any cultivation, he was not a cultivator, and the treasure gourd was just a spell that left the Dao Tianshu, and the power could be triggered through spells. But that kind of power is too small, it can only protect oneself, and in front of the spirit fox's dark fire, it is simply a mayfly shaking the tree. But if the cultivator casts the Qiankun True Fire, the power will definitely be able to compete with the Dark Fire. One is yin to cold, the other is yang to strong, and no one knows whether it is the real fire or the dark fire!

The fox woman looked like an old grandmother at this time, stroking Bai Qinsang's long hair. She slowly walked up to Xiao Ran and asked, "If your life can save Qin Sang's life, are you willing to give me your life?"

Xiao Ran nodded without thinking and said, "I'm willing!"

Bai Qinsang stretched out his hand towards Xiao Ran, shook his head and said, "I don't want you, I don't want you to die!"

The fox woman turned to Bai Qinsang and said, "He has half of your natal golden pill on his body, if I take it out, I can save your life, but he will be poisoned to death immediately!"

Bai Qinsang pleaded: "Fox woman, I don't want him to die!

Xiao Ran said: "You saved me with your life three times and twice! I am willing to return my life!"

Bai Qinsang laughed dryly, his voice was extremely bleak: "Still? You want to pay me back? Will you be clear from now on? Do you understand my mind? Do I want you to pay it back? I only want you to live, do you understand? I want you to live! Fool!"

The fox woman said: "There is another way, I can save you!

Bai Qinsang shouted: "No! I don't accept it! I will never accept it!"

Xiao Ran saw a glimmer of hope from his desperate situation, and he asked, "What way?"

The fox woman said: "Use the lives of countless spirit foxes to re-condense a natal golden pill, which can directly break through the limit of cultivation, inherit the moonlight and moonlight drawn by the ancestors for thousands of years, and become the goddess of the new generation of spirit foxes!"

Bai Qinsang covered her ears and shook her head and said, "I don't listen! I don't want to!" Bai Qinsang shed tears, because it was only the last resort, but she knew that accepting this method would mean that she would cut off the emotional fetters of the past! She will never remember Xiao Ran again, she will not remember the young man in the teahouse, she will not remember his kindness, his cowardice and bravery, and she will not remember a living teenager who once wiped her tears!

The fox woman sighed: "Maybe this is fate! There is no choice! Accept it, which means that Qin Sang will never know you again!"

Xiao Ran didn't know why he was feeling pain in his heart, he clutched his chest, tears crackling down his face.

Xiao Ran gritted his teeth: "Qin Sang, even if you forget me, I will be by your side and let you get to know me again! I believe it! I'm not afraid!"

Bai Qinsang smiled faintly, his mood gradually stabilized, and said, "You are too simple!" She continued: "You have a strange poison in your body, I can only suppress the poison with the natal golden pill, and it is a fantasy to get the antidote from the Miao people, I can't get the antidote!"

Bai Qinsang turned to the fox woman and said, "The method of succession requires the sacrifice of too many spirit fox lives, how can I disregard the life and death of other brothers and sisters for the sake of me! I can't do it! I don't choose either way!"

The fox woman said: "I know it's useless to persuade you with anything, so what do you care about? He has been poisoned, and he will die without the antidote! The Spirit Fox Clan has lost Bai Yan and can't live without you anymore." Only your divine consciousness can inherit the most primitive power of the ancestors of my Spirit Fox Clan. Now the Miao clan and the branches of the beast clan are eyeing us in an attempt to subvert our Linghu clan! If you die, our Linghu clan will not be able to get rid of the fate of annihilation! I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it! The position of the fox woman shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding the bloodline of the spirit fox and teaching the fox king, but everything is gone when I take office! I am ashamed of the ancestors! I am ashamed of the fox kings of the past dynasties!"

The fox woman said coldly to Bai Qinsang: "I know that since your mother was suppressed by the Linghong Temple, your heart is like ashes, and you secretly hate the fox woman! The fox woman only hopes that you can understand the fox woman's good intentions! If he doesn't die, you will have hope of living!

Bai Qinsang exclaimed, "What are you going to do?"

The fox woman stood up, her white hair fluttering in the wind, her haggard and weak body, and her eyes were full of endless blood and persistence. As she spoke, the fox woman disappeared above the abyss.

Not long after, I heard the voice of the fox woman: "The life and death of the Linghu clan will help the holy woman condense the golden pill!"

At this time, I saw countless spirit foxes falling above the abyss, and watched them melt into the dark pulp. The Spirit Fox's natal golden pill was incinerated into a golden light, surging above the dark pulp. Linghu obeyed the call of the fox woman and jumped off the abyss, at this moment, they had no choice, this is fate, the fate of sacrificing their lives for the Linghu clan!

Bai Qinsang vaguely saw the sisters who played together on weekdays, and she saw that their faces were full of longing and sadness and helplessness that they couldn't choose!

This is the fate of the spirit fox! Live or die, pursue the faith of a race!
