the sky will be bright

The name of Chihu comes from a red fox.

It is said that this place was originally a mass burial mound where evil spirits were rampant, and the water of Chihu Lake used to be as stench as a stagnant pool.Since the appearance of a red fox that was as red as fire, the fox family has swept away thousands of troops and become the rulers here.

Two or three hundred years later, it is no longer the red fox who rules here, but the leader of the increasingly prestigious white fox tribe, who is also the husband of the fox queen Hongli.However, a civil strife in the fox clan caused this cold and arrogant white fox to die at the hands of his fellow robes. His snow-white fur was stained with bright red blood.

The fox queen who lost her husband was also expelled from the fox clan and wandered outside.

In order to take revenge, Hongli endured the humiliation and became an oiran in a place far away from Chihu, in order to absorb the essence of human beings and improve her cultivation.Although this method is very likely to make her die, the fox queen, who loves her husband deeply, still has no hesitation.

As long as one day she can step on the corpses of those who killed her husband and let the ashes of the fox king return to the throne, she is willing to bear no matter how painful it is.

However, after the death of the fox king, she never saw the body of the fox king again, and was driven out of Chihu Lake before the fox king was buried.What's the use of getting the throne if she can't touch her lover?

According to the rules of the Fox Clan, all the royal family—even if they died unexpectedly, will be turned into ashes to prevent the avengers from digging up their bones and cursing their ashes into smoke, and then put the ashes into a very airtight box and bury them in the royal family. The place of burial.

Hongli told Wei Canglan all these things, obviously feeling extremely resentful for her inability to rescue her lover.

A group of people walked along the path towards Chihu Lake. Wei Canglan looked around while walking, counting his fingers and chanting mantras. Changsheng was confused, but he still obediently followed behind him.Seeing a blue lake in front of him, he found an extremely gorgeous mansion nearby.

It is obviously a desolate and uninhabited area, how come such a mansion that is more elegant than the residence of the little prince popped up on the ground?Chang Sheng looked up at the plaque, and immediately showed a look of surprise.

The big word "Hu Mansion" on it directly shows that this is the residence of the foxes.

When Gong Xian and the two went to inquire, Chang Sheng said in a low voice: "These foxes are so arrogant! I'm afraid that people nearby won't know that their lair is here."

Wei Canglan smiled: "You idiot, do you think you can come here casually? The road I took you just now was to avoid the formation they set up. If it weren't for ordinary people with good shit luck, how could you come in here?" Can come in."

"But if some guys who intentionally make trouble break in, wouldn't it be easy to mess up their Hu Mansion?"

"That depends on whether they have the ability." Wei Canglan sneered.

After waiting for a long time, there was no news from Gong Xian.

Changsheng became nervous again.

Wei Canglan frowned: "Sure enough, mortals are nothing more than playthings in their eyes." After saying that, he dragged Changsheng to the door of Hu's residence.

Two children suddenly walked out of the Hu Mansion, which had its doors closed, with indifferent expressions. They were not too excited when they saw Wei Canglan, but asked coldly, "May I ask why the guests come here?"

"I want to find Hu Gengnian." He said the name that the fox queen told himself.If you go to Chihu Lake, look for Hu Gengnian. He was once the confidant of the Fox King. He was saved from being implicated in the battle for the throne because of his outstanding achievements.

The two boys gave him a strange look, and asked, "Are those two your accomplices just now?"

Wei Canglan's expression remained unchanged: "Yes, because we are newcomers, we are rude."

The two boys looked at each other, and said: "Wait, wait until we report to the general. But those two people jumped into the mansion privately, they are currently locked in the prison and cannot be released for the time being."

"If a brief confinement can calm you down, then let's do it for the time being." Wei Canglan said with a smile.

Changsheng flattened his mouth, this little prince is really merciless to those who hinder him.

The two children closed the door and went in to find someone. Wei Canglan took advantage of this moment to look at Chang Sheng: "Let Zhao'er and Cai'er come out later."

Chang Sheng was startled: "Are they going to investigate in the mansion?"

"Since there is a chance to enter the lair, it is natural to find out everything and find a way out for myself. I don't want to die at the hands of these stinky foxes before the catastrophe arrives." He snorted coldly.

Chang Sheng nodded in agreement, reached into his clothes, and took hold of the two pieces of jade.

When the door opened again, a silver light suddenly shot out from inside, Wei Canglan hurriedly turned sideways, raised his sword before he could unsheath it to block the attack, Changsheng also drew his sword, and slashed at the person who came!

"You are so vigilant at such a young age, no wonder you found this place." The silver light disappeared, and a slender man stood in front of them with a sword behind his back.

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, he thought this man with outstanding achievements was a strong guy, but he didn't expect him to be a handsome and elegant man.

"It's a skill, it has nothing to do with vigilance." Wei Canglan also withdrew his sword.

The man didn't smile.He is like ice water that has just melted in early spring, looks very soft, but the inside is still too cold to touch.Changsheng suddenly felt that if this man smiled sincerely, he might be as stunning as the peach blossoms just blooming on the Bingshui River.

"Why are you looking for me?" There are very few mortals who can call him by this name, how did the two children in front of them know their name?

"Can we talk privately?" Wei Canglan took out the silver bell of the Fox Queen, without directly explaining.

Hu Gengnian frowned slightly, turned sideways: "Please come in."

Hey, it seems that this fox queen really has enough face to be able to enter the fox's lair so easily.Chang Sheng was stunned, he pulled Wei Canglan's clothes with a little unease, and followed him into the Hu residence.

As soon as they stepped into the door, the two were taken aback.It turned out that the mansion built by the lake led the lake water into the courtyard, and the pond in Nuo Da's courtyard took up a large area.The shore of the water like a small lake is full of reeds. It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the silver-white reeds are constantly rippling with the wind blowing up from the water.Occasionally, two children shuttled through the reeds, laughing and playing, and the big tails under the hem of their clothes flicked past.

If it weren't for the white wall seen from a distance, it would be hard to imagine that this is actually a courtyard of a residence.

Hu Gengnian led the two of them around the courtyard and walked straight to the deepest part.Along the way, I saw only two or three other servants cleaning, and no other well-dressed foxes came in and out of the mansion.

Wei Canglan glanced at Changsheng, then asked Hu Gengnian with a smile: "It is said that the fox clan doesn't like to gather in groups, it seems that this is true."

Hu Gengnian didn't even look at him, he just replied indifferently: "Only during the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone will come back here. Even Fox King himself doesn't like to stay here."

It seems that they will not meet the new fox king today, but it is no wonder that this guy has the guts to bring the fox queen's accomplices into the mansion so easily.Wei Canglan secretly groaned.

After walking for a while, Hu Gengnian finally walked out of the corridor and entered a courtyard.The yard is completely different from the reeds on the water bank outside. There is no pond, no reeds, only persimmon trees growing all over the yard.Now is the season of ripe persimmons, and the big yellow persimmons are hanging on the tree, making Changsheng unable to swallow his saliva.

"Please come in." Hu Gengnian pushed open the door and let the two of them go in first, then he took a flagon from outside the house and poured wine for the two of them.

Wei Canglan looked at the glass and refused with a smile: "We don't drink."

"This is the wine brewed under the persimmon tree." Hu Gengnian, who had been expressionless all this time, stared at the wine with a look of love.

Changsheng intuitively felt that this wine must have some inextricable relationship with the fox queen, or the former fox king.
