I heard you have nine tails

"Are you going to take him?"

"You shouldn't have done this, he should have been thrown into reincarnation."

"You actually fell in love with a male?"

"Still a mortal!"

"Xiao Shiba is really amazing."

"Is he awake?"

"You seem to have opened your eyes?"

The chattering sound never stopped, Li Lin opened his eyes tiredly.His memory stays in the arms of Tan Chang in a foreign land.But at the moment, the chatter in his ear is all in Chinese, even though it is a language he can't understand.These people are all young, with complicated and exquisite clothes, and handsome faces like gods.Yet they all looked at him with curious and probing eyes.There was no malice in that look, but it made Li Lin feel a little uncomfortable, as if... he was some kind of strange thing.

"Why is there no response? No surprise at all, could it be that you are stupid?"

"I just said that you shouldn't use any spiritual spring! The dragon energy on him is already strong enough, and using the spiritual spring, isn't it counterproductive?"

The person who had been silent all this time finally couldn't take it anymore: "Shut up!"

It was a familiar voice, Li Lin turned his head to follow the sound, and saw the man sitting on a big rock.He was younger than the last picture in his memory, Tan Chang in his early twenties, with an extraordinary bearing and a peerless elegance.The scarlet robe was rolled with gold trim, simple and elegant.

"Tan Chang!" Li Lin shouted immediately, reaching out to hug him.However, the worried look on Tan Chang's face made him hesitate.

I... am I dead?

Only then did Li Lin notice that the hand he stretched out was a faint pearl color, translucent.

"This is..." Li Lin muttered to himself, as if to verify his guess, he stretched out his hand to a wild flower on the grass. As he expected, his hand went straight through the flower, as if he stretched out a piece of air.

"Get out of the way!" came another voice.

Another strange man came.He looked at most 30 years old, but he didn't have a beard, and he was wearing a silver robe without any extra decorations on it.He held something that looked like a branch in his hand.His status was obviously higher, and those onlookers automatically divided into two to make way.

While observing that person, Li Lin looked around again.This place is not any place he is familiar with: the sky is bright and clear, and all the places he can see are large green grasslands.There are grasslands in the northwest, but the sky in the northwest is not so blue.

"Where is this...?" Li Lin murmured.

The person who answered was Tan Chang: "This is Qingqiu."

Qingqiu is the hometown of Tanchang.Tan Chang said, so the people here... Tan Chang seems to have stepped on what he thought, "They are all my people."

Sure enough, they are all nine-tailed foxes!

The man came to him and stopped, frowning and staring at him for a while. "Boy, you are dead, do you know that?"

"Great Elder!" Tan Chang yelled in disapproval.

Compared with what this person said, Li Lin was more surprised by Tan Chang's title.Great Elder, is this the Great Elder of the Nine-Tailed Fox?It looks so young.

Immediately, Li Lin remembered that the Nine-Tailed Fox brother here has the ability to keep his face, and this person's age must not be judged by his appearance.

"I know."

Although the Great Elder's expression was fierce, there was no real malice. Li Lin could feel it, so he answered the question with a very sincere tone.

"You're dead. Tan Chang tricked Black and White Shuangsha and brought your soul to Qingqiu." When the Great Elder explained, the branch in his hand shook again, and he took a quick breath. "You are the king of the mortal world, you bear the dragon spirit, and you have the merits to benefit all people. You will be able to join the Zhongming Dingshi House in your reincarnation. If you accumulate a lot of merits, you will be ranked among the immortals in the future. Stay here, You won’t be able to incarnate, you know that!”

Li Lin thought that the other party would definitely drive him away, but when he heard that there was still a choice, he replied without thinking, "I know, I will stay here and not go anywhere."

Being in the fairy class is far more attractive to him than staying by Tan Chang's side.

The onlookers, no, the nine-tailed foxes started whispering again.The Great Elder seemed quite satisfied, so he snorted again, and hit Li Lin's shoulders with the branch—the branch did not take off like the wild flower, which was beyond Li Lin's expectation.

"Let's go!" The Great Elder turned around and urged impatiently.So Li Lin watched those handsome people turn into foxes of various colors, dragging their nine long tails, and ran away without a trace.

"Mu Ze." Tan Chang finally stood up and took a few steps towards him.

Li Lin's hands reached out to him subconsciously, however, passed through his body. "Only the note of the longevity tree growing in the spiritual spring can directly touch the soul." Seeing his loss, Tan Chang comforted him, "It's okay, the elder will definitely find a suitable body for you."

"Walk around with me first?"

After a moment of loss, Li Lin also recovered.He thought he would never see Tan Chang again, but he didn't expect to be able to get along day and night.Qingqiu, who was isolated from the world, opened his arms to him, and he was not out of curiosity, so he hummed immediately.

Tan Chang led him to a high place.Only then did Li Lin realize that it was very easy to float away as a soul.Qingqiu is a combination of plains and hills.The plain is an endless grassland, and there are trees on the hills, but the trees are not very lush, and the trunks are not thick.

"These trees can only grow by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth." Tan Chang explained at the right time. "That's why trees that don't look as good as mortal trees actually have a long lifespan."

On the hill, under the cover of trees, there are many caves, which should be the residence of the nine-tailed fox.

"Where is the spiritual spring?" Li Lin asked.

"It's at the highest place. But your soul is too weak now, and the aura is too heavy for you there." Tan Chang rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly. "Would you like to visit my house? But...there is definitely no match for the palace." Not to mention the palace, even the house Li Lin chose for him is no match.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I have lived in the palace and the cave." Li Lin didn't think that what else he could enjoy in his current state.

Tan Chang's home is a wide cave, with a bed made of straw and fluff on the stone platform, other than that, there are only some toys made of stones in the cave.

Tan Chang never expected that the things he left before he left were still here, and it was too late to tidy them up in a hurry, so he had to watch Li Lin look at each one with great interest, and asked how he played one by one.

Li Lin lived in Qingqiu just like this. At first, the other nine-tailed foxes were very curious about him, and they gathered around to watch him wherever he went.Afterwards, everyone realized that it was no surprise, what to do.Anyway, when these foxes were together, Li Lin couldn't understand what they said, and it didn't constitute any harassment to him.

Li Lin found that the life of Nine-Tailed Fox was very comfortable.There are birds on Qingqiu Mountain, like turtledoves, who can speak human language.But they are protected by the nine-tailed fox family.Tan Chang once explained that their nine-tailed foxes actually don't need to eat, and their aura alone is enough to fill their stomachs.In addition, those trees will also bear fruits, and eating them can improve your cultivation.If the nine-tailed fox is really greedy, it will go hunting in the mortal world.

Having said that, Li Lin immediately understood Tan Chang's obsession with roasting chicken.Needless to say Tan Chang, even he feels greedy every day when he sees these foxes gnawing fruit with a sad face.

Young foxes have to listen to the lectures of the elders every day.Most of the time, adult nine-tailed foxes are lazily sleeping or practicing.For Tan Chang in the past, the former was naturally the majority, but now with Li Lin, it becomes a matter of taking Li Lin around all day.Li Lin is also used to getting along with the state of soul, but he can see it but not touch it, which makes Li Lin a little aggrieved for a while.Especially when the foxes running all over the mountains and plains were running in front of him.

"Don't even think about it, even if you become a human, you are not allowed to touch your tail everywhere!"

As soon as he noticed Li Lin's gaze, Tan Chang issued a stern warning.

Li Lin looked at him with a half-smile, "I've been here all my life, are you still afraid that I'll fall in love with other foxes?"

"It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, I can't touch it, but I can't touch it!" Tan Chang said angrily.

Li Lin was actually just curious about the fur patterns of those foxes, but... well, I also want to touch them a little bit.But in comparison, Tan Chang must be the most important.

According to Tan Chang, the fur color of the nine-tailed fox is innate, but there is also a saying that the purer the fur color, the easier it is to cultivate.But this is just a rumor.There are not a few who really concentrate on cultivation, absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and attain the Tao.As for Tan Chang, even though he was born with red fur and sleeps and plays every day, it still takes 100 years for him to take shape.

Sure enough, the Great Elder quickly found his body. It was a black-haired fox that had just died. What was rare was that the body was intact, without wounds or deformities.

Li Lin looked at the fox on the ground with a complicated expression.Tan Chang immediately said: "Although you are an ordinary fox, you will be able to cultivate the inner alchemy soon after soaking in the spiritual spring water, and you will have dragon energy on your body, and eat two more fruits."

But the Great Elder was more straightforward, "If you don't want it, go to reincarnation!"

Li Lin accepted it obediently.

This ritual seems to be very rough. The elder waved the branch of the longevity tree and drove Li Lin's soul into the fox's body. Li Lin just felt that he was falling, and when he came back to his senses, he touched the solid body ground.

"Okay, the rest of the cultivation, you can do it yourself." The elder impatiently withdrew his hands and left without looking back.

After getting used to the new body, Li Lin turned his head and asked Tan Chang: "What color is the elder's fur?" The nine-tailed fox usually likes to become a prototype, basking in the sun, sleeping, and chasing and fighting on the grass.But he never seems to have seen a long-aged fox.

"He is... Silver Fox." Tan Chang had a very strange expression. "I've only seen him take shape once, for..."

"Eighteen! What are you doing!"

The voice of the Great Elder who had walked away just now came over immediately, so close, it was like thunder.Tan Chang shrugged, not daring to say any more.

Eighteenth is Tan Chang's ranking. The foxes don't have names, and they are all called by their rankings.

In private, Tan Changcai told him that the seemingly stern elder treated them very well.The only time the Great Elder became a fox in Tan Chang’s memory was because Tan Chang fell ill that time. The young fox lay dying in the cave. The elder took care of him alone and turned into a silver fox. He surrounded him and licked his skin. Mao cools him down.

Li Lin also asked carefully: "Where are your parents? Do you... remember them?"

"I don't remember clearly." Tan Chang replied, "The Great Elder said that they traveled all over the world. I guess they have cultivated to become immortals long ago?"

After becoming a fox, it took Li Lin a while to adapt.Fortunately, Tan Chang also turned into a fox to accompany him, so he didn't feel lonely.He finally approached the spiritual spring that was surrounded by spiritual energy.

In the mirror-clear lake, Li Lin saw his own appearance: black hair all over, even the abdomen and tail, slightly bigger than Tan Chang.

"Tell me, if you were transformed into a human, would you like to play with your own tail?" Tan Chang muttered.

Li Lin looked at the red-haired fox who was getting more and more courageous after returning to Qingqiu, and with a flash of claws, he threw the fox into the spring water.
