【Chapter 39】The Nine-Tailed Fox's Plan
The name Daji is famous in history. Retrospectively, it can be said to be synonymous with vixen. Legend has it that she cultivated to the pinnacle of the nine-tailed fox, that is, the white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox. But before Daji, the nine-tailed fox was not yet a derogatory term.
In ancient times, when Dayu ruled the water, the nine-tailed fox was also worshiped as a totem. Dayu's wife, Tu Shan, is the legendary nine-tailed fox and the ancestor god of the Xia clan.
However, after Daji appeared, she completely subverted people's good impression of the nine-tailed fox. Since she began, whenever there was a red face and trouble, she would be denounced by people as a vixen who seduced men. However, Daji's evil deeds did not stop there. "Su Daji" is just one of the identities of this nine-tailed fox.
Legend has it that this nine-tailed fox has appeared in three countries: India, China and Japan. Originally, she became the concubine of the prince of Tianzhu Guobanzu as Mrs. Huayang. She planned to destroy Nan Tianzhu, falsely spread the oracle, and let the prince of Banzu behead a thousand people to sacrifice to the Great Black Heaven. However, in the end, his identity was discovered and he fled.
After the nine-tailed fox couldn't stay in India, he came to Shenzhou. Needless to say, she incarnated as Daji to confuse the king of Shang. Jiuchi Meat Forest, tyranny torture, pro-villain, Yuanxian minister...... The masterminds behind many crimes are related to the beautiful Daji. Later, Jiang Ziya assisted King Wu of Zhou to raise an army to destroy Yin, and used the demon mirror to illuminate Daji's body and behead him. But the primordial god of the nine-tailed fox escaped by luck and concealed his whereabouts.
For hundreds of years, no one knew about it. In the year of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou You, who was famous in history and dared to play the princes with beacon fire and only to win the laughter of beauties, had a peerless beauty who fell into the city with a smile. This woman is another incarnation of this nine-tailed fox.
Because King Zhou You played this kind of wolf-coming game, but only in exchange for a smile from the beauty, it eventually led to the disaster of destroying the country and killing himself. Bao Xi is nowhere to be found. Her whereabouts became a mystery.
Later, I don't know if I lost the place of standing in Shenzhou, or I was tired of all kinds of things in Shenzhou, the nine-tailed fox crossed to Fusang and became another famous historical figure, Yuzaoqian. This time, she played a super beauty with both talent and beauty, and she was deeply favored by Emperor Toba. But soon after, the emperor became seriously ill. Abe Taisei found out that it was Tamamo who was doing something wrong, so he exposed his body with the yin and yang technique.
Tamamo had to flee from the palace and failed again.
A few years later, the nine-tailed fox appeared in the Shimono country of Fuso, abducting women and children on their way, killing them and eating them. Such atrocities shocked the DPRK. Emperor Toba officially ordered a crusade against this white-faced, golden-haired nine-tailed fox.
Eighty thousand soldiers gathered in Nasuno and prepared for a big fight. However, the nine-tailed fox's mana is very strong, and after a few rounds, the crusading army will suffer heavy losses. Fortunately, the general of the unified army adjusted his strategy in time and finally killed the nine-tailed fox. Since its primordial spirit is immortal, it can only be sealed with the killing stone it incarnates.
At the beginning of the Muromachi period, the monk Gen On, who was present at the temple, consecrated it himself. The Killing Stone was finally destroyed and scattered all over the place.
The above is the general experience of this white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox who once caused trouble in the world. It is not difficult to see that with so many means, a wide range of crime locations, and a vicious heart, it can be called a rare evil monster in history.
If you don't make a move, you will do it, and if you do, you will definitely pick the main figures of the country to commit crimes. is the only way to easily mess with the world with the body of a mere beauty. As for why she had to do this, and what secret it contains, no one knows now.
However, Li Xiaochen still knows a little about the experience of this nine-tailed fox. Hearing Izumo Chiyuki say that what she asked for was related to the nine-tailed fox, he was a little curious: "Isn't that white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox dead, could it be that it will be resurrected?"
"Sure enough...... You've heard of such a famous monster. Izumo Chiyuki shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Although the Killing Stone was destroyed, the primordial spirit of the nine-tailed fox did not disappear. If you have cultivated to a high and profound realm, you should understand the mystery of the changes of the Yang God. It's like the current Li Immortal, isn't it also the form of a Yang God clone?"
Li Xiaochen said with a smile: "I seem to understand what you mean." The killing stones scattered all over the place are actually the yang gods that are differentiated from the nine-tailed fox itself. In fact, she did not perish in the true sense of the word. In other words, if she had the chance, she would also cause trouble in the human world, right?"
Izumo Chiyuki was deeply worried about this and sighed, "Exactly. ”
Li Xiaochen asked, "Then what do you want to ask me to do to subdue this nine-tailed fox?"
"Please come with me. Chiyuki Izumo, who was kneeling, stood up suddenly, put on clogs outside, and walked out of the house, slowly walking deeper into the back mountain.
Li Xiaochen felt that this matter was a little interesting, so he followed behind her, planning to go over and have a look.
Walking straight along the secluded path, the trees on both sides become more and more lush. There are more and more birds and animals of all kinds. After walking for a long time, they had reached an inaccessible place. This area is almost primeval forest, but there is not even half a wild man. Occasionally, a few rays of light pass through the dense trees and slanted into the boulevard, adding to the mystery.
Izumo Chiyuki, who was leading the way in front of her, suddenly stopped, raised her right hand, pressed it into an invisible barrier, and recited the incantation. Circles of ripples spread out where her palms touched. The barrier was opened.
"Immortal Li, please come in. Izumo Chiyuki stood aside gracefully and smiled.
Li Xiaochen smiled and asked, "Why do you still have to set up an enchantment in such a place, are there any monsters in it?"
Izumo Chiyuki also smiled and replied, "Don't say there are no monsters inside. Even if there is, with your cultivation, what other monster can hurt you?"
The intoxicating smile made Li Xiaochen dare not look directly at it for a while, lest he be moved and make a mistake. Izumo Chiyuki saw that he avoided his gaze, and his heart was lost for a while, so he had to continue to lead the way in front. The two of them continued to walk into the depths without saying a word, one after the other.
During this time, Izumo Chiyuki opened several layers of enchantments in turn. This cautious approach couldn't help but make Li Xiaochen wonder if there was something amazing in it.
After walking for a long time, I finally saw the end. It is an ancient shrine with the characteristics of Fuso. The scale is not large, but the architectural style is faintly similar to the ancient buildings in China.
"This is where the nine-tailed fox once lived. Izumo Chiyuki didn't look back, just explained to Li Xiaochen as she walked, "When we found out here, it was already too late. Inside the shrine, there are amazing secrets. After reading it, you will understand. ”
Walking into the shrine, Izumo Chiyuki swept out a gust of wind with a flick of his hand, blowing all the cobwebs and dust outside. Then, she came to the offering table and said to Li Xiaochen: "Please Li Xianren move here and have a look." This is the fragment of the Killing Stone. ”
Guided by curiosity, Li Xiaochen walked quickly to the offering table and took a closer look. Sure enough, there were a lot of gravel on it.
"Isn't it said that this killing stone will spray venom at those who are close to it?" Li Xiaochen observed for a while, and saw no movement of the stone, so he asked.
Izumo Chiyuki said: "Because there is no longer the yang god of the nine-tailed fox in it." You can try spelling it out. ”
Li Xiaochen found that there were a total of nine pieces of gravel on the table. Reaching out and fiddling with it for a while, the nine stones were just right to form a circular object. The core in the middle is missing.
Izumo Chiyuki explained, "After so many years of hard work, we have only been able to collect these nine Killing Stone fragments. The middle piece is nowhere to be found. Presumably it is the most important part of the nine-tailed fox. Please come with me again to see something else. ”
"Anything else to see?" Li Xiaochen followed Izumo Chiyuki to the courtyard behind the shrine, and saw a tall stone tablet in an inconspicuous corner. The stele was about the height of a grown man. There are many words engraved on the surface of the stele.
Li Xiaochen took a closer look and found that these words were very peculiar. The entire article is written in three languages: Hindi, Japanese, and the obscure oracle bone script. No, there is a little Zhong Dingwen mixed in. It's a bit difficult to understand them all.
"What did Immortal Li see?" asked Izumo Chiyuki with a playful expression.
Li Xiaochen replied truthfully: "Several words are mixed together. It's a long story...... To be honest, I don't really understand it. But I can vaguely see the meaning of the first few words......"
"Can you see the whole article?" Izumo Chiyuki grabbed Li Xiaochen's arm with some excitement, "Are you sure you can see all the words?"
Li Xiaochen nodded in amazement: "Yes." ”
"Sure enough...... Sure enough, it's right to invite you here!" Izumo Chiyuki's face was solemn and his eyebrows were furrowed, "The text on this stone tablet will vary according to the depth of the cultivator's personal cultivation. To put it simply, the deeper the cultivation, the more words you can see. With an astonishing cultivation like Li Xianren, it is not surprising to see the entire article. And I, I don't see that much. ”
Li Xiaochen asked curiously, "From what you can see, can you know what is written on it?"
Izumo Chiyuki said, "The beginning is written in Japanese, so I can read it. Translated into your words, it is 'tail plan'. ”
"Tail plan? Sounds like a conspiracy. Li Xiaochen stared at the Japanese for a while, and then moved his gaze downward, "These things are too jerky." Why don't I copy them down and ask somebody. ”
Izumo Chiyuki said, "I guess this should be carved by the nine-tailed fox." There must be a big conspiracy hidden in it. We have to be cautious. ”
Li Xiaochen smiled: "Even if it is a conspiracy, it is almost impossible to find people who can understand it." Take the oracle bone inscription above, I think it's very similar to the Shang Dynasty script. It's not something that the average person can understand. What is the purpose of her conspiracy being so hidden? If we can't decipher it, what's the use of writing it?"
Izumo Chiyuki had a calm face and said, "No matter what, we have to keep it a secret. If it is deciphered and other people with good intentions know about it, wouldn't it be in the hands of the nine-tailed fox? Li Xianren, today's incident, please keep it confidential and never leak it to others. Otherwise, he will surely bring disaster to him in the future. ”
Li Xiaochen nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Okay, I swear I won't tell anyone else, including my wife." Can you please bring me pen and paper and let me copy the whole article?"
