Volume I, Chapter 29, Causes

The two walked all the way into the mountains, gradually inaccessible, lush everywhere, full of ancient trees that cover the sky and the sun, and they don't know which deep mountain ridge the road is.

I waded through a stream, walked through a jungle, and walked through a cave...... Not to mention that his vision is confused, even if everything is normal, Xie Lingyun may not be able to remember the way.

When the scene changed again, he came to a deep and open valley, listening to the chirping birds, smelling the fragrance of flowers, Xie Lingyun's consciousness slowly recovered in an all-round way, it was Chun'er who lifted his fascination, and saw that there were houses in the valley forest in front of him, and he knew that he had arrived at his destination, the home of the ancient nine-tailed fox clan.

He looked at the fox fairy Chun'er next to him, and he saw a delicate figure and a young girl with a young face, her skin was extremely creamy and snow-white, her eyes were watery, her eyebrows were long, her lips were beautiful, and she was wearing a light blue embroidered jacket skirt, which was a little jasper...... But I don't know what kind of beauty her real appearance and temperament are?

"I'm back!"

Chun'er ran towards the valley and shouted with a smile.

I saw a group of little foxes rushing out from all over the woods, some of them were snow-white, some were yellow and black, and then they came running with their legs, with fat heads and big ears, all of them were very cute. The little foxes all spoke human language, and they all laughed and said, "Sister Chun'er!", "Sister Ah Chun, did you buy anything back?"

Is there another sister? Xie Lingyun didn't react for a while.

"Oh, he's not a sister, he's an elder brother, a human race, Xie Lingyun Xie Gongzi!" Chun'er hurriedly introduced, she said a few words to Xie Lingyun, and a white light emitted from her palm, and she immediately lifted the transformation girl technique imposed on him.

Xie Lingyun shuddered again, and immediately changed back to his original male body. He touched his arms and thighs, but fortunately they were as strong as ever, the sword was still there, nothing was missing, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Thank God!"

Seeing that it was a Terran boy, the little foxes were even more enthusiastic, giggling and laughing around him, and some little foxes pounced on him and ran on his back, "It's very handsome, is it Sister Chun'er's father-in-law?", "Is it a scholar? I like scholars." "Brother, do you know how to compose poetry?"

"Yes, I can write poetry...... Hey, don't bite my ears......" Xie Lingyun was entangled by them, these little foxes sniffed and scratched, hugged and crouched, and bitten, the two most mischievous little white foxes laughed again: "'Yes, you can compose poems, don't bite my ears.'" 'I don't rhyme, it's so bad-", "Sister Ah Chun, you don't have a good job of finding a scholar, and you can't win the champion." ”

"Don't make a fuss, Doudou and sprouts, come down! You guys play by yourself first, Gongzi Xie and I still have something to do to meet the ancestors. ”

Chun'er hugged the two white foxes and drove them away, so that Xie Lingyun could catch his breath and follow her.

He looked around all the way, the houses and roads were very old, indicating that they had lived here for a long time, but the fox shadows were scarce, and it was obvious that the people were relatively thin.

Chun'er saw his thoughts and explained: "There are more than thirty people in Fox Valley, all of them old and young. Because there are regulations in the clan, when you become an adult, you must go out to live independently, and you can come back when you are old, and you can also send back to Fox Valley when you give birth to a little fox, and ask the old fox to help raise it. Now there is only one young man in the valley, Chun'er, and when I reach the age of sixteen, I will leave the valley to make a living. With that, she glanced at him quietly, not knowing what to think, and a hint of shame appeared in her eyes.

Xie Lingyun nodded, foxes are solitary animals, and this family rule also ensures that they will not be caught in the net, no wonder they can be passed down from ancient times to the present.

"Chun'er, why did you bring someone back!?"

At this time, when the sound was heard, more than a dozen old foxes walked out of the largest fox ancestral hall in front, they were just discussing countermeasures, and they were all startled when they saw Xie Lingyun.

They did not take human form, but were all big foxes in the shape of drooping children, wearing plain robes and long skirts, and walking upright.

Walking in the front is an old dragon bell old Weng fox, its mouth is very flat, the eyebrows are bright, the face has a few fluttering white beards, the right hand is holding a dragon wooden cane, and there is a golden wooden card dangling on the chest, and the card is inlaid with three seal characters "Fox Ancestor".

Next to her was an old woman fox, with a pointed mouth and a wooden ring ruler in her hand, with a serious expression. Chun'er introduced that it was the fox elder who was the second ancestor of the clan elders, and although he was strict with the fox, he had a good heart.

"Patriarch, elder......" Chun'er came forward to call them, and told the whole story, and finally said good things for Xie Lingyun: "I have investigated, Xie Gongzi often treats the people of Jinling for free, and he has no bad reputation, everyone says that he is a good person, I think we can trust him." With that, she stepped aside and handed it over to the elders.

The fox ancestor raised his head, looked at him with dizzy eyes, and asked, "Young man, can't you let our fox clan go?"

"Fox Patriarch, I also have difficulties......" Xie Lingyun immediately explained the predicament of Chaotian Palace, and then asked: "Actually, what is going on? I don't think you are like bad people, why do you want to evade taxes?"

"Alas, it's a long story!" Patriarch Fox sighed, and after a little deliberation, he began to speak: "Originally, our clan had no quarrel with the world, young and old lived leisurely in the Fox Valley, and when they became adults, they went out of the valley to break through, some were in business, some were officials, and some were married as good wives, and there was no one who broke the law.

But half a year ago, suddenly a bull demon came to this mountain, claiming to be the king of the bull demon, and our life became more and more miserable. That bull demon didn't dare to be too presumptuous before, just because he was afraid of Xu Zhenren nearby, Xu Zhenren began to retreat a while ago, began to ascend, and no longer cared about the disputes in these mountains and forests, and it became the king and hegemon! It was greedy for the autumn tax pill of the Daolu Division, so it ordered us to wait for the Daolu Division to escort into Beijing to rob halfway, if we didn't obey, we would kill the Fox Valley to a clear light.

Instead of robbing halfway, it is better to steal quietly. We were forced to do what Childe had inferred, and we succeeded in stealing this year's tax pills.

Before we gave it to the bull demon, it went crazy and went to Daohua Village to attack and kill the villagers, hey! Xu Zhenren flew away, and the whole city was in a sensation, and the mountains were full of people looking for immortal traces these days, and it had to hide, so we only had a few days of peace. ”

"So that's the case!" Xie Lingyun suddenly understood, it turned out that it was all the ghosts of the Bull Demon, it was really annoying, it was a dragon and a bull demon, why didn't Master Xun directly eradicate these guys who harmed people and things! He frowned and asked, "What kind of cultivation is that Bull Demon?"

"The Bull Demon's sexual skills are probably only in the realm of refining themselves, but they have the life skills of the late stage of the Dan realm, close to the Dao Fetal Realm, with infinite power, and a powerful magic weapon. We're old, and all we know is some tricks of confusing illusions, and we can't beat them together. ”

The fox ancestor looked at Chun'er guiltily, shook his head and sighed: "Today, the Bull Demon sent a little demon to just come, checked the Fan Shui Dan, and said...... He also said that he wanted to marry Chun'er as Mrs. Bull Demon, and in a few days, he would send it all together, hey......"

"What!?" Chun'er was stunned when she heard this, and her face turned pale in an instant, and she asked, "Ancestor, is this true?"

"Chun'er, how can we be willing to bury your life, you leave Fox Valley first and escape this marriage...... the old woman Hu comforted.

Chun'er lowered her head and didn't speak silently, but her eyes were already red, and tears were rolling in her eyes. If she wants to marry that bull demon, it is better to die, but she must not be so selfish, and she will never abandon her people......

Seeing her crying, Xie Lingyun felt pity and heartache, Chun'er didn't care about herself for the sake of her clansmen! He asked, "Can't you turn to others for help? And what about the fox in the world outside the valley?"

In ancient times, the relationship between the fox clan and the human race was good, and there were intermarriages, and the female Jiao Niangniang married Dayu and gave birth to Xia Wang Qi, when the fox clan was prominent. Since then, the fox clan has been scrupled and disgusted by the human race, and its status has become lower and lower, and there are fewer and fewer people......

How dare we show up casually? And now we are committing a great crime. ”

The fox patriarch sighed, propped up his crutches, and said: "As for those fox and fox grandchildren, they each have their own lives, and they don't have any Taoism. ”

Chun'er said softly: "Gongzi Xie, these little foxes who are still left behind either have parents who are far away in a foreign land, or their parents die early and are illegitimate outcasts...... Can't leave Fox Valley. ”

"Understood. Xie Lingyun groaned, in fact, he and the fox clan have a common enemy, the Bull Demon King! as long as he cleans it up and gets back the tax pill stolen by the fox clan, it will be the most perfect result......

"It has a lot of men?" he asked again.

The fox ancestor thought for a while and replied, "It's just that there are more than a dozen monsters in the nearby mountains and forests, except for that bull demon, it's not worth mentioning." ”

There are more than a dozen ordinary monsters, and a ferocious demon in the late stage of the Destiny Gong Dan Realm...... Xie Lingyun knew that with his current strength, it was too reluctant, but it was not without a chance, don't forget that the magic weapons in the immortal mansion had not been explored, and there was a tigress in the late stage of the Dao Fetal Realm, who would find a way......

"I can help you and kill that bull demon myself!" he glanced at the surprised crowd and said, "But you have to let me out of the valley first, so that I can prepare." ”

Chun'er's eyes widened, with expectant eyes, Gongzi Xie has a way?

The old fox didn't believe it very much, and the old woman looked at him very suspiciously, and asked, "Your life cultivation is so shallow, how can you kill it? Don't lose your life in vain and harm us." Fox Patriarch also nodded: "Well, it doesn't sound reliable, Gongzi Xie, do you have any ideas, can you tell us clearly?"

"Uh-huh. Xie Lingyun couldn't directly say that I worshipped Xu Zhenren as a master and passed on an immortal mansion, so he had to say: "Believe me, don't look at my shallow cultivation, it's amazing!"

The old foxes looked at each other.

Soon......

There was a bang and the door slammed shut—

"Gongzi Xie, you stay here first. We still have to discuss when you will be released. ”

Xie Lingyun was pushed by the fox ancestor and fell into the dungeon, except for Chun'er just now, the old fox didn't believe him, and thought that he couldn't be let go for the time being, so he finally decided to put him in the dungeon of Fox Valley first.

He stood helplessly behind the iron fence, although the dungeon had no formation, but with his level of life skills, ordinary iron dungeons could not escape.

The old fox walked up the stairs one by one and left, and after a while, there was a bitter-faced fox fairy girl left on the other side of the iron gate, Xie Lingyun looked left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Chun'er girl, can you quietly let me go?"

"Gongzi Xie, I'm sorry...... I'll come back later and bring you some food. Chun'er's eyes were red, and she turned around and walked quickly.

Xie Lingyun shook his head and walked towards the prison, through the dim light, he saw a row of boxes stacked not far away, this is ...... Tax Dan!

An idea suddenly occurred to him......

Well, you old foxes forced me!
